@GOP Why did GOP in the House try to pass another bill that says the same thing if this is already a law?
Performative bullshit?
That would be my guess.
So weird, waiting to see if we're a country of people who want a good life as we can cobble to together for everyone, or a country that wants to punish as many people as possible for various grievances.
In 2020, Trump predicted that, if Biden won:
* The stock market would crash
* Crime would soar
* Police departments would be defunded
* Guns would be confiscated
* Christmas would be canceledβ¨
None of that happened.
And yet, Trump is trying to reuse those claims again in 2024. https://t.co/7BeTsAdJnI
No matter what anyone tries to tell you, Donald Trump's economy was not the best ever. As a matter of fact, Trump became the first president since Herbert Hoover, in 1933, to leave office with fewer jobs than were present when he entered it.
"But Craig, COVID..."
Fine, I'll pretend COVID didn't occur and Trump had absolutely nothing to do with the worst response across the globe.
Jobs added
Trump's first 3 years (pre-COVID): 6.409M
Obama's final 3 years: 8.085M
Biden's most recent 28 months (after we reached pre-pandemic employment): 6.697M
Jobs added per month
Trump's first 3 years: 178,028
Obama's final 3 years: 224,583
Biden's most recent 28 months: 239,179
No matter how one tries to spin things, the economy was and is better under Presidents Obama and Biden than it was under Donald Trump.
As crazy as it may sound, if Trump gets re-elected and has any of his economic policy proposals passed, our economy will likely look much worse during his second term than it did during his first.
1) Trump's mass-deportation plan would be disastrous for our economy.
How disastrous?
An estimated $88B per year per 1 million undocumented immigrants (that's the low estimate).
To place that into perspective, the U.S. had a revenue of $4.92T in the past year.
Given there's an estimated 13 million undocumented immigrants, if Trump were to deport them all, it would cost us $1.144T per year, or $11.44T per decade.

2) It's estimated Trump's tariff proposals would cost American families $2,600 annually.

3) Trump's economic proposals are estimated to add $7.5T to our debt, more than twice that of Harris's proposals ($3.5T).

4) Economic analyst Steve Rattner also had this to say about Trump's economic agenda:
"Contrast that over here with Donald Trump, who got 8% support from economists for making his tax cuts permanent. Exactly zero support for his tariffs of 20%. And 5% support for eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits, and I'll come back to that in a second. So, dramatic contrast between support for Harris on the one side, no support, basically, for Trump on the other side. From 39 economists from across the board."
β¦
"So, why are these economists so opposed to Trump's plan? Because the economic effects would be pretty terrible. This is a study done by Bloomberg Economics, and they found that Harris' plan did not have much change in either the GDP or inflation, which in a sense is a good thing at this point. But look at what Trump's plan would do. Trump's plan would cut the GDP by 8.9%. Let me put that in perspective for you. This is roughly twice the amount that the GDP went down during the Financial Crisis."
