  1. They both sucked, don’t let these idiots divide us. he is not telling the whole truth. STOP IDENTIFYING WITH POLITICIANS AND START HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE. republicans and democrats don’t care about you and me.

  15. How about this! If Trump is elected economics won’t matter and he did nothing about. I’m sick of hearing oh well we can’t feel Biden’s economics! Everything is so high! OK ask yourselves this. How many days have you gone hungry as you gripe about food costs? NONE of you! Supermarkets are still alive and well and so are your fast food joints you prefer. Wen the food price complainers actually go a couple weeks hungry or a month? THEN complain.

    You want to gripe about maybe gas prices aren’t so low or any other car stuff? Great! Then give up your cars and WALK! a stop complaining about the cost of gas, repairs, car insurance! At least you HAVE a car to gripe about. Don’t see anyone giving up their cars like I had to 14 years ago!

    You want to gripe about the economy of home prices or rent? Fantastic! Now you go out on the street and tell your sob story about those things to the homeless! You’re not living in a tent! You’re not sleeping in a dangerous shelter you’re kicked out of the next day. You’re not living in a sewer, doorway or sidewalk in literally a cardboard box! Stop complaining about the four walls you have!

    Complain about the economy? I’m wondering what elders would think who were either young adults, or kids like my parents were during the Great Depression, hearing complaints about the economy. We’re not in a recession, we’re not in a Great Depression, I’d say everyone is pretty well off in comparison.

    Oh the economy is troubling! Really? For 20 years I’ve been going to my small Convenience store two blocks away which is hard to walk on my bad feet. Booze, limited food and cleaning supplies, bongs of all things, cigarettes. I go 2-3 times a week. I buy food and a couple packs of cigarettes. I’m not a drinker much. Every time I go be it Morning, afternoon or the rare night, people buy beer. Not A beer a case of beer! I guess the economy is pretty good for them in my middle class neighborhood. I have to wait at least 15 minutes because every time I go I have to wait for the person ahead of me to buy their handful of Scratch Off and Lotto tickets! Boy the economy seems to accommodate that pretty good! Two months after I was forced to give up my car because I had no money in 2010 because my finances crashed in ‘09 not ‘08 like everyone else, a guy came in and ragged out loud how high gas prices were even back then. So what did he do? a put down 50 in cash for a hefty handful EACH of Lotto and Scratch Off tickets. I confronted him. Why were you complaining out loud how high gas prices are but you can afford gambling tickets! He literally ran out of the store without a word! Today I see people pay for gambling tickets. I guess gambling is more important than filling up a taken for granted gas tank!

    The economy has problems? Well I sure would love NOT to see commercials advertising a new IPhone! How many of those phones do people need just to get a better camera when your old phone is just fine! Seems everyone can afford a new one. I have a basic one. How many streaming services to people have! How many non essential APPS do people buy! Boy you sure seem to find the money for those things but you can’t save an extra 400 in emergency savings? I have two savings and checking and almost have the money after 14 years of hard saving for a car. I see these commercials for treadmills. Yup! You can complain about food cost when you’ve never gone a day hungry and can afford a two grand treadmill you don’t need. Your walking a hundred yards to your store door seems to be a burden. Must be nice! I have to walk almost two miles to a supermarket and cross dangerous intersections.

    Complain about the economy? When you’re homeless, you haven’t eaten for days, when we have another Great Depression again, then you everyone complain how badly the economy is working for everyone. Or you all can run for office and see how good you do with it.

  16. Trump was just following what Fauchi said to do about the pandemic. Trump is a businessman not a virologist. Trump was following the science, isn't that what he was supposed to do? In what way did Trump lead us into one of the worst economic crisis of the last century and in what way did Biden lead us out of it. All of your arguments are based on underhandedly twisting facts and slanting impressions and not facts.

  17. this has been reported for misinformation. professor reich is a propagandist that chooses a few tailored facts for his agenda. he is not teaching anything about econmoics here just making a case agasint trump. here are few other facts:
    1.Joblessness fell during the Trump years to a half-century low,
    2.home prices and interest rates along with total inflation has risen alarmingly during biden
    3. During the Trump years, by comparison, Americans saw a steady increase in spending power until the start of the pandemic
    4. During Biden's term, Fitch Ratings stripped the United States of its top AAA score

    see there are just a few quick facts for the other side. dont be a lazy lemming! wake up america! you are being duped!

  19. Closing the economy was the single worst thing any country has ever done. And this video is full of lies. The world as a whole collapsed under the pandemic. Blaming the pandemic economy on trump is the most oblivious take I’ve ever heard. Pre pandemic, would you care to explain those numbers? Lowest unemployment rate in history, highest DJIA in history. Cmon.
