    Welcome to every election cycle since Regan. Repubs fuck the economy and blame the Dems for trying to fix it.

      I generally agree except I think Bidens secretary of treasury screwed the pooch by not borrowing more longer term debt at low interest rates. So now we’re paying 1T per year in interest.

      The whole system is completely fucked right now.

        Well, Manchin wasn’t gonna let him do what they originally planned to do. We would be in a very much better position if that investment had happened.
