Better in 2020 with the economy closed from COVID? Or are we only counting the repercussions of global Covid inflation?
The economy was closed for the middle class? How so?

The middle class was way better under trump. Any sane unbiased mc taxpayer admits that.

- In 2021, keeping spending at the levels projected in January 2020 or February 2021 would have resulted in the 2021 deficit being $2.0 or $1.1 trillion lower, respectively.
- In 2022, the deficit would have been between $400 billion and $1.2 trillion lower given had spending remained at the levels projected in any of the three prior CBO baselines.
- Notably, had spending in 2022 been what CBO projected it would be when Biden took office – without the impact of his failed economic policies – the budget deficit would have been its lowest since 2001, which was the last time the government ran a surplus.
- Had spending stayed at any of the previously projected levels for both years, combined deficits would have been between $1.5 and $3.2 trillion lower than the actual deficits incurred.
-
Government spending is the primary driver of deficits and President Biden and Congressional Democrats have engaged in an unprecedented $11 trillion partisan spending spree, including:
- $709 billion on student loan waivers and giveaways that forces the 87 percent of Americans without student loans to pay for the loans of the 13 percent who do.
- An $80 billion slush fund for the IRS to hire 87,000 new agents.
- Roughly $100 billion bailout of union multiemployer pension plans that overpromised and underdelivered for their workers, ultimately offloading the costs onto the American taxpayers.

- Nearly 72 percent of all job gains since 2021 were simply jobs that were being recovered from the pandemic, not new job creation. In fact, when looking at today’s economy compared to pre-pandemic levels, employment is up only by 3.7 million, not 13 million.
- On the other hand, in his first 2.5 years, job creation under President Trump was 5 million—1.3 million more jobs than the current President in the same time frame after factoring in the recovery from pandemic.
- The labor force participation rate remains 0.7 percentage points lower under Biden than it was when President Trump was in office.
- When adjusting for population gains, nearly 2 million more Americans are on the sidelines today than they were during the previous Administration.
- Real wages are down over 5 percent since President Biden entered the Oval Office.
- Since President Biden took office, the average worker has lost over $4,900 in real wages.
- Americans are still feeling the sting of this inflation crisis—prices are up 15.5 percent under Biden.
- Inflation remains over three times higher than just a couple years ago.
- The average family of four is paying $13,717 per year or $1,143 per month more to purchase the same goods and services as in January 2021.
- The “Inflation Reduction Act” enacted by Democrats last year gave $271 billion in tax credits to pay for “green” energy projects that even liberals admit are a boon for the top 1 percent.
- These out of control “green” handouts are going to cost American communities an estimated $1.2 trillion, according to independent analysis by Goldman Sachs, nearly $1 trillion higher than original estimates.
- Companies with over $1 billion in sales receive more than 90 percent of special interest green energy tax subsidies.
- Some analysts estimate that banks and insurers alone receive over half of green energy checks, far more than any other industry or sector.

China—Batteries
- Today, China controls over 50 percent of the processing capacity of key EV battery inputs like lithium, cobalt, and graphite.
- China’s influence over the EV supply chain widens to around 90 percent in manufacturing and processing in a number of battery materials and minerals.
- According to a report from the liberal think tank SAFE, 60 to 100 percent of all battery minerals are processed in China.
-
China—Solar
- According to the U.S. Department of Energy, China controls nearly 80 percent of the entire solar production supply chain, including 97 percent of solar wafers capacity, 81 percent of solar cell capacity, and 77 percent of global capacity for finished solar modules or panels.
-
China—Wind
- After the IRA passed, global wind turbine orders reached record levels, 90 percent higher year-over-year in Q4 2022, with 65 percent of those orders attributable to China.
- Despite buses and rails accounting for only a tiny fraction of Americans’ travel, mass transit and Amtrak receive the same amount of funding as highways.

Chromosome defines it, not labels. Could give two fucks what anyone calls themselves so take away the label and there is no discussion from anyone other than over the stupidity needed to change it to a different fact than it already was .
It's pretty simple. So why the constant bs from dems regarding it?

This thread exists because certain people don’t know there’s laws prohibiting non-citizens from voting in federal elections.
And democrats are trying to change that. Why?

You didn’t point out anything other than irony. Texas is busing illegals to liberal cities, but according to you the jokes on them and is exactly what the democrats wanted them to do.
Talk about dumb.
The dumb are the people in this country who don't think that illegals are effecting elections in multiple ways. That's people like you.

No I’m making fun of you for saying the sanctuary cities are not stupid when in fact it was Texas who sent 100,000 illegals to them.
You're trying to make fun of the fact that I point out things that most just don't grasp. You really got me on that one.....LOL so dumb.

So you agree with deceitful tactics as long as it means a "win" instead of doing what's right?

A girls high school basketball team forfeited a recent game after three players were injured, including one who was allegedly hurt during a play involving a 6-foot male player on the other team who identifies as female.

Something that never gets brought up on this forum is the simple fact that these illegal immigrants will still be counted in a census. And that census can cause a state to have more delegates given to them because the population is bigger. These liberal "sanctuary" cities are not stupid. They are playing the long game, the more people, the more control in the swamp. washington.
