Will 2026 finally be the year when a critical mass of Americans wakes up and realizes that Republicans always screw up the economy?

Donald Trump inherited an economy from Joe Biden that was perhaps not firing on all cylinders but was in pretty good shape all the same.

For the third straight time, a Democratic president handed a Republican president an economy that was at the least pretty good, and at most (Bill Clinton) really humming along very nicely. And, for the third straight time, the Republican has made things worse. Which also means that Democratic presidents have to clean up messes left by their GOP predecessors.

    Every goddamn time the Republicans are in charge, they break the economy, and the best you can cite is some made-up anecdote about how you just happened to buy cheaper eggs today?

    Who do you imagine you fool with stuff like this?

      I was a joke/reference to $5 eggs people kept complaining about in “Biden’s economy” just before the 2024 elections. As in, I wish we could go back to $5 eggs so I could afford to put gas in the car and actually buy groceries
