@Turn_and_Tempo@JessicaBRiedl So it sounds like you “eviscerating” them in a real debate consists of taking their statistics and responding with “yes, but people feel otherwise.”
@JessicaBRiedl Also: thanks to scotus and TACO/politics, the US avg tariff has fallen to abt 1/3 what Trump set last April - and it's much less chaotic. So, mfg rebounded when tariffs & uncertainty dropped.
Huge tariff W. Lol.
@Acyn Out of all the “best evers” this is closest to being true. If there’s anything the President really excels at it’s lying and getting people to believe him (aka marketing)
@Acyn I googled, “has JD Vance ever taken an economics class” and got this answer from Google AI:
“There is no public record confirming whether JD Vance ever took a formal economics class”
@Acyn “Here’s what people tell me the problem is - they’re wrong but I won’t provide any evidence of that. And here’s something completely unrelated to that problem.”
Gotta love politicians.
@JamesDubhthaigh@DragonLuva3@JonahDispatch I was living on the normal, non-politically aligned planet so few of us live on.
If you'll recall, the American Rescue Plan helped usher in (with numerous other factors) a 9% inflation rate, and was passed at a time when the economy was, for the most part, completely open.
