Will 2026 finally be the year when a critical mass of Americans wakes up and realizes that Republicans always screw up the economy?
Donald Trump inherited an economy from Joe Biden that was perhaps not firing on all cylinders but was in pretty good shape all the same.
For the third straight time, a Democratic president handed a Republican president an economy that was at the least pretty good, and at most (Bill Clinton) really humming along very nicely. And, for the third straight time, the Republican has made things worse. Which also means that Democratic presidents have to clean up messes left by their GOP predecessors.
I understood your point, but I was more trying to call attention to the rate they spend. Democratic leadership doesn’t run a surplus since the 90’s but they spend at a significantly lower rate than Republicans, who scream about any money that is not spent benefiting their specific interests
