Covid began in 2020. Trump bungled it into a deep recession. Biden had the economy humming again on January 19, 2025. Trump Crash 2.0 might be two Covids deep. The sooner he is defeated, the better for everybody.

The US economy is deteriorating in parallel with the political situation. Appreciation of this fact is clouded in the media. Ignorance is papered over by a disingenuous debate and journalistic equivocation. We need to unlearn some “basic economics.

Often it feels like we are living in a “New Reconstruction”
A massive backlash against progress in civil rights.

In her furious dissent, Jackson writes of the Supreme Court's decision: "The project of stymying one of the country’s great civil rights laws continues." She likens today's ruling to notorious decisions after the Civil War cutting back civil rights statutes. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Just a reminder. The US economy was the envy of the world under Biden. All of the rise in GDP post-pandemic was Biden's fault, plus 0.2.

The US had an economy that was the "envy of the world" 101 days ago. Today there is nowhere to go but down.
