And the economy under Biden has been much better than under Trump. Trump's economy was much better than the Dem economy. We had a massive recession in 2020 when Trump turned the economy over to Democrat bureaucrats, who falsely told him they were non-partisan and falsely told him Covid was a big threat. Since then, the recovery has been weak and inflationary. Before that Democrat recession, the economy was booming (especially for the working class) and inflation was tame.

You have repeatedly expressed concern about our skyrocketing national debt. I have some good news for you - a hero has shown us the path to salvation. Javier Milei Ended a DC-Sized Deficit in...Nine Weeks Argentina’s Javier Milei is racking up some solid wins, with the fiscal basket case seeing its first monthly budget surplus in 12 years. Apparently, it took Milei just nine and a half weeks to balance a budget that was projected at 5% of GDP under the previous government. In US terms, he turned a 1.2 trillion-dollar annual deficit into a 400 billion surplus. In 9 and a half weeks. How did he do it? Easy: he cut a host of central government agency budgets by 50% while slashing crony contracts and activist handouts. For perspective, if you cut the entirety of Washington's budget by 50%, you'd save a fast 3 trillion dollars and start paying off the national debt. mises.org Tom
