Actually, he did not. he promised a trillion dollar bill, or sometimes a multi-trillion dollar bill, but never delivered it to Congress. Doing something would have required hard work... So trump did nothing.
How is everyone coping with the Great Depression

Soooo....Bidenflation dropped it from 5.4% to 3.7%.
I’ve been waiting a long time for this Biden, depression, almost everyone predicted it. I guess Biden was able to brilliantly prevent a seriously impending disaster. We should give him credit.

I wonder how many Trumpers converted all of their money to gold and buried it in the back yard or under their trailer homes?
3.7% is not the target of 2%, but it is a lot closer to 2% than double digit inflation. Given there are remnants of problems in lagging sectors, 3.7% might be as low as we need right now. Core inflation with rent and used cars removed is literally 2%. There is a real danger lowering it more now would overshoot.
That being said, strong growth makes everyone wonder if overshooting would do that much damage.
Biden has put the hard work in, and we are beginning to reap the rewards. trump would never have put the hard work in.

It is hard to find any other leader doing as well as Biden. It was hard to find other leaders doing as badly as trump. Interesting how that works.

Compared to many other countries, the U.S. came out of the pandemic in fairly good shape. This isn't just some Internet opinion. It is based on reality, on data, on facts and figures that are easily found and available to anyone who is interested in the truth -- not the crap fed to some by their chosen "news" media. I actually saw a comment yesterday on a local congresscritter's official FB page from a MAGAT bimbo claiming that gas prices are so high because Biden stopped U.S. oil production because OPEC told him to. I kid you not.

The people to watch are not just the nutjob politicians, but also the nutjobs who pass along such irrational claims.
Thanks for the example of girl math.
FICA takes 7.625% of her paycheck up to $142,000
33 - 7.625 = 25.375
So, for her claim to be accurate she has to be paying 25.375% of her income in Federal income taxes.
A single mom gets a $19,400 standard deduction which is NOT part of her taxable income.
Her income tax rate never exceeds 24% on any single dollar until she earns over $170,050 for the year in taxable income.
If she makes more than $142,000 then her FICA is cut to just 1.45% above that.
In order for her federal tax bill to be 32% of her income she has to be making over $500,000 per year. Or does she really think her local school district is sending money to Ukraine?
Even if we include the highest state taxes, she has to be making close to $250,000 per year to make her statement true.
I guess you are happy to let a "hockey mom" blow smoke up your ass.

Ever heard of state, city, county, property, sales taxes, and fees?
Thanks for mansplaining.

Blames Biden for "state, city, county, property, sales taxes, and fees" and thinks State and other local taxes are being sent to Ukraine and Israel. Proof Legion is a fucking moron.

How much do you think Ukraine aid - which is keeping one our enemies from taking over a strategic area of that part of the world, and also degrading their military capability - costs each taxpayer?
It cost them far more than securing the US border and the billions of leftover cash could be used to rebuild the country's mental institutions thus saving innocent lives.
Any excess would serve the country well if we build super prisons to lock up all these miscreants stealing, carjacking, looting, burning, and committing general mayhem on the general population.

So, you don't know how much it costs each taxpayer.
Thank you for your own ideas on how taxpayer money should be spent.
If I go buy something the government confiscates my money when I pay sales tax? I guess if I don't buy it then the government gets nothing. By buying something you are volunteering to give your money, the government isn't confiscating it.
Property tax is a local tax for schools and local issues. It doesn't go to Ukraine.
Are you enjoying your blow job from "hockey mom?"

True. Other gullible deplorables believe that rot, and spread it like herpes.
