I really miss these days.
Excerpt from Heather Cox Richardson: Peter Baker reported in the New York Times that Biden and his administration were leaving behind a country that was in the best shape it had been since at least 2000. There were no U.S. troops fighting in foreign wars, murders had plummeted, deaths from drug overdoses had dropped sharply, undocumented immigration was below where it was when Trump left office in 2021, stocks had just had their best two years since the last century. The economy was growing, real wages were rising, inflation had fallen to close to its normal range, unemployment was at near-historic lows, and energy production was at historic highs. The economy had added more than 700,000 manufacturing jobs among the 16 million total created since 2020. Chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, Mark Zandi said, “President Trump is inheriting an economy that is about as good as it ever gets.”
