GIVE BIDEN CREDIT AS GDP REPORT SHOWS US HAS STRONGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD

"SNIP............

President Joe Biden took a well-earned victory lap for the economy he and his Vice President Kamala Harris have overseen as the economy grew way above expectations at a 2.8% in the second quarter.

“When I took office, we were in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Today’s GDP report makes clear we now have the strongest economy in the world,” President Biden said in a statement sent to PoliticusUSA.

The President made sure to include the work of his Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris while taking appropriate credit for the stunning turnaround the U.S. managed under their leadership.

“Thanks to my and Vice President Harris’s economic agenda, our economy grew a robust 2.8% over the last quarter, based on strong American consumers and business investment. We’ve created nearly 16 million jobs, wages are up, and inflation is coming down. We’re rebuilding the Nation and bringing manufacturing back to America.”

inflation + everything was deja vu. reagan's ekkkonomiks didn't help. inflation ALWAYS goes up after war. stop whining. it was 50% after the civil war. we had covid + afghanistan. it wasn't carter's fault, but ford's fed guy. the high inflation during reagan really hurt way more.

Inflation didn't just happen here, it happened all over the industrial world after the OPEC embargo. 1973/1974 in Australia there were gas lines. That's where George Miller got the idea for the "Mad Max" movies. When the embargo ended inflation started going down. However high interest rates under Paul Volker made things even more painful.
