or were, they didn't involve Critical Thinking.
Republican tax cuts in times of plenty have unnecessarily increased our national debt, rather than pay down the debt...Democratic administrations have had to add spending to avoid Recessions/Depression due to fiscal malfeasance by Republicans...e.g. the "Great Recession", or a poorly handled pandemic...e.g. COVID-19. Don't forget that Clinton/Gore fully engaged with Congress to produce spending cuts and tax reform (increases on Corps + Wealthy) to produce a Surplus and reduce our debt. There is no reason why Trump should do anything different...as you can readily see.
Our recent inflation was all due to COVID-19's impact on global supply chains...every nation suffered from it, yet under Biden, the U.S. came out better than any other developed country.
Now we have DJT trashing a well functioning U.S. economy...why do that? IMO and others, he's following his Handler's (Putin's) instructions...do as much damage to the United States as possible, while he's in office.
