This is Biden's economy, get used to it while he's around.

That's not really saying much since if this were still Trump's economy, and much of it was in 2020-2021... you'd be saying it was the Democrats and lockdown's fault anyway.

Almost nothing Trump did in his four years actually impacted the economy. Not even the tax reliefs or the welfare handouts in the form of stimulus checks. Which even Trump argued should've been higher.

I mean, here is another way to look at it. How can you say the economy was doing so great under any Republican, Trump included, if stimulus checks are necessary? Just going by stimulus checks alone by President, you have...

2008, Bush - $600 individual rebate to middle-low income families.
2009, Obama - but no individual stimulus checks to middle-low income families.
2020, Trump - handed 3 rounds of rebate, mostly due to Republican interference, in the form of something like 1,200 - 2,900 per household - with no exception to income.
2021, Biden - another $1,400 individual rebate to middle-low income houses.

I mean, it just seems weird right that a Republican finish his term with stimulus checks, doesn't it? Just weird.

It's almost like the whole point of the Republican economic strategy is to prop up big businesses with tax reliefs; and when that inevitably causes the stock market to crash significantly; these same people who got years of relief all campaign to get a piece of the economic relief packages in addition to the taxes they were spared. It's not unlike some kind of twisted Ponzi scheme.

They say these tax reliefs benefit the economy, they artificially inflate it to prop it up; but then when these bubbles inevitably burst; they bail out the top businesses and let the businesses (both small and large) suffer if they aren't playing ball with the Republican party.

Sounds dangerous to me.
