Reagan gave us the economy of the 80s and 90's  Trump was on pace to give us another 20 year boom.  But, intellectual elites couldn't allow that.

Huge deficit spending and debt fueled both.

No one in Washington seems concerned debts or deficits, including Biden.  Its a wash.  

Well the republicans seem concerned now. Biden isn't, and never was or will be.

No they don't, it is just what you are being told.  If we are going to have huge debt and deficits, at least with republicans we have cheap energy and a booming economy.

Trump inherited 4.8% UE rate, low  energy costs, the longest bull market in history, record emerging markets, and out spent Obama's last 4 years in office in 3, prior to the pandemic. Energy cost more in every year Trump was in office prior to the pandemic, than 2015 2016, those are facts.

Trumps economic numbers(prior to covid) looked very similar to Obamas so those who think dems economies are worse than pubs just because of the party in charge are morons

4 out of 5 driver candidates quit last month because of the work. That's a shot at $40 an hour and all the bennies you can stand... but nah.

You think the availability of MORE jobs is going to make a difference?

The liberals have their dependent class and they won't give them up.

yeah I dont get it. These are good jobs with good benefits. Cut off the unemployment and people will probably change their minds. Maybe...

Each party's policies effect the prices of energy.

The fact that for a year people have been able to collect without actually looking for a job while there is thousands open is fucking crazy.

Just need to look back at the Obama admin. When they finally cut off the unemployment extensions the rate of unemployment went down in a hurry. Hmmm, what a coincidence.

"Maybe" is right.  This little entitlement is being pressed for continuance.  Again, as we all know, entitlements once started, are very hard to take away.

We're gonna see riots in the streets when this covid scare disappears and people are forced to go back to work.

Yes, remember peak oil?  Electric cars, wind , solar,and NG fired electric generation, all cut the demand for oil. Do you know what happens when you lessen demand?

Wind turbines are oil free?

Nope, do you have anything facts or articles that proves that the demand for oil has lessened at all due to any of the 4 factors you listed?

It’s almost an understatement to say that lubrication issues reach a level of complexity almost a magnitude of order greater than in a conventional fossil-fired generating unit.

Never said oil free. Did I?   

Even someone as dumb as you has to realize that all 4, do cut oil dependence.
