Happy Days Are Here Again — It’s Just That the GOP Is Refusing to Tell You That

In the ultimate act of self preservation, the Trump Campaign has been painting the country’s economic situation as horrible.
 
Paul Krugman has something to say about this, and so do I. 
 
The right-wing often claims that we endured inflation due to Biden’s “out of control spending.” However, what choice did the Biden administration have when it came to the economy upon taking office in 2021?

Former President Trump did not hand over a robust economy as when he took over from Barack Obama in 2016. 

Supporters of Trump tend to overlook the reality that his mismanagement of the pandemic in 2020 created the economic issues we now face. Had the Biden administration not invested in recovery efforts, we could have experienced a prolonged economic downturn. Right now the rest of the world continues to dig out of the economic ditch and they look to us with some level of envy.

Trump significantly increased the national deficit. He spent trillions in a failed attempt to stabilize the economy, yet Republicans consistently ignore that tax cuts for billionaires contribute just as much to the deficit as increased spending does.

Let’s also acknowledge the several trillion dollars that Biden deemed necessary to revitalize the country. 

The difference lies in Biden’s approach: he strategically allocated funds to improve infrastructure, nurture a burgeoning green energy sector that promotes genuine energy independence, bring manufacturing back to the U.S., and fund research into technologies that will drive future innovation, along with job training to ensure the workforce can come along for the ride with these advancements.

The Microsoft Research Center in Kenosha offers a glimpse into this promising future, unlike Scott Walker's retrograde FOXConn project.

While some may not see immediate benefits, the ongoing growth presents opportunities for all. Electing Trump would pull the brake cord on this momentum while Kamala Harris would keep this ball rolling in new directions.
