Way to go Joe and Kamala! The U.S. economy continued its expansion in the third quarter, growing at an annualized rate of 2.8 percent, offering good news for Vice President Harris just days before the election. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/10/30/gdp-third-quarter-2024/
Apparently, the economy is a disaster people haven't gotten their talking points for how to deal with this very troubling news.
Yup. America's a disaster. Things are terrible all over. I don't know how I drag myself out of bed everyday to partake of working a steady job, having transportation, food to eat and clothes to wear, in a home with indoor plumbing, electric and a/c. Oh, the horror of it all. But seriously - thank you, Joe Biden for implementing a steady progressive fiscal policy. I appreciate it, even if DonOld doesn't.
Solid GDP growth, 2.4 million jobs added in the last year, S&P 500 up a massive 40% in the last year, all while inflation has steadily dropped. Yeah, this economy really sucks.
The right whines and cries that Biden is not fit to run for re-election, no matter how good a job he's done. Then, after the Dems persuade Biden to step aside and not run for re-election, the right whines and cries about the Dems taking action and uniting behind Harris.
So Kamala gets all the blame for what ever pubs don't like about the Biden administration, but none of the credit for the good stuff. Got it.
I agreed with Biden's decision to step aside, even though he had done a very good job. It's clear it's time for him to move on. That said, on Biden's worst day, he's better than Trump on his best day.
Based on ratings, still looking for how to spin 2.8% Real GDP growth with 1.8% annualized inflation as bad news, I guess. Or just very much hoping that nobody notices.
@rtgator, I may have been ambiguous in my sarcasm. Harris was not given any authority on border security and is not responsible for illegal border crossings. The ads that accuse her of such are misleading. She did succeed in her role in reducing migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras through diplomacy and policy initiatives and can get due credit.
