Whom Do You Trust? February 2, 2024February 1, 2024 David Klepper asks: ‘What happens when no one believes anything anymore?’ This is the world we seem headed toward, and sooner than almost anyone thought. One thing no MAGAn will believe: Biden’s Economic Record is Much Better than Trump’s. But it’s true. Writes Robert J. Shapiro, who oversaw the Bureau of Economic Analysis in the late 1990s: From growth and jobs to investment and business creation, the economy has performed substantially better under Biden than it did under Trump. Biden’s superior record holds even if we set aside the pandemic’s impact in 2020. The exception, of course, is inflation. But just as the COVID-19 pandemic led to the collapse in GDP and employment during Trump’s last year in office, it was also the main reason prices rose so much . . . . . . President Biden’s record not only eclipses Donald Trump’s, but when policy made a difference—on growth, employment, investment, and inflation—Biden stepped up and improved our economic conditions. Those are the facts. → The details are worth reading in full. And hey! Take this quick four-question quiz. It will make you feel smart. And rightly so. BONUS FOR BOOMERS As I noodled over what to title this post, the egregiously ungrammatical “Who Do You Trust” popped into my head. Johnny Carson before he was Johnny Carson. Enjoy. And have a great weekend.
