President Biden

Fortunately living life isn’t tricky to look at. Easy to see how much more expensive everything is. How much more unstable life is. It’s an easy comparison for each family to compare how things were the 4 years when Trump was president and how the next 4 years is like with Biden. Whichever you feel like was better should make it easier to decide

Pretty stable during Trump’s term when we were losing 3,000 Americans a day to Covid during the worst of it… filling up refrigerated trucks with dead bodies… stock market crash and tens of millions of jobless… all while he lied to the public and told the truth to Bob Woodward privately. Real great leadership.

Go ahead and use Covid as an out. I’m sure Biden would’ve been better right? About as good as Cuomo yeah. There was plenty of time before Covid to compare

As of mid-2024, wage growth in the United States has generally caught up with and, in some periods, surpassed the inflation rate. Specifically, for the past 15 months, wages have grown faster than prices. From April 2023 to April 2024, wages rose by 3.9%, while inflation increased by 3.4%. Looking at a longer period, from April 2022 to April 2024, wages grew by 8.8% compared to an 8.5% rise in inflation.

However, over the entire period of President Biden’s tenure since January 2021, inflation has slightly outpaced wage growth. Inflation increased by 19.3% during this time, while wages rose by 16.1%.

In contrast, during the earlier phase of Biden’s presidency, inflation outpaced wages. This trend reversed from mid-2023 as inflation eased and the job market improved, allowing wages to grow faster than inflation for over a year.

Overall, while wage growth has fluctuated relative to inflation, recent trends show that wages are now growing faster than prices, helping improve the purchasing power of American workers.

But please, believe what you want to believe.

not true. from politifact

IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT​

• Looking at the duration of Joe Biden’s presidency and using the standard measures for comparing inflation and wages, inflation has increased 19.3% since January 2021 while wages have risen 16.1%.

You got wage increases too. I’m not saying inflation wasn’t painful but it wasn’t just the U.S. and we fared better than many, many countries.

Yes, Biden would’ve kept pace with the science instead of outright downplaying the virus. Of course, MAGA and the far left hippy antivaxxer crowd would’ve thumbed their noses at him anyway. Ah well. People perish for lack of wisdom.

Nice how you cherry picked one bullet point.

Much of the inflation was directly in Bidens control

1) excess spending by Biden when he took office. too much money chasing too few goods jacks up your inflation rate.

2) rising oil costs due to bidens efforts to slow drilling in many ways

3) supply chain logistics issues magnified by putting a small town mayor in charge of transportation who then made things even worse by taking six months off during the worst of the supply chain issues to take paternity leave for an adopted child.

Dragged us out of Covid malaise.

Oil production is at record levels.

What did we hear from those in the know about how Butigieg’s family leave affected the supply chain crunch? Any data on that. See, I’m about data. Feelings are pretty irrelevant.

But please, believe what you want to believe.

Now do it with real inflation numbers for rent, groceries, and fuel. When the government says 19.3% they conveniently leave out the things that matter to most. Why do you think so many polls show a large majority that's unhappy with the economy?

not measurable campaign rhetoric

took almost 4 years to get back to trump levels. Does this include the sale of US oil reserves?

common knowledge at the time. You want me to believe a small town mayor was up to that job? Why is Pete Buttigieg on vacation every time there is a major transportation crisis? He was on “paternity leave” for two months during supply chain meltdown, lounging in Portugal during rail strike crisis, and MIA for the Southwest Airlines crisis?

The poors are always unhappy. Especially so when Fox News complains about it all day and night for years when the full picture isn’t given.
