Good morning patriots
Last night was certainly ⚡ Electric ⚡. I am not sure how many seconds 2 minutes is but it seems that men get about 50 and women get 180. Women also seem to be able to rebut as much as they want. Even with this inherent disparity Pence proves once again why he is the best vice president and why Trump's love for him never wavers. Feel free to discuss this debate here. Try to keep top level comments limited to clips and debate topics.
I remember several years under Obama when the economy was terrible. I saw prices rising in a lot of stuff.
I feel like the recession of 2007/2008 was on the way out by the time Obama got into office (it ended officially in June of 2009, so like 5 months after he was sworn in?)
So he pretty much inherited a good thing since any economist will tell you that after a recession comes recovery then expansion and an eventual boom.
But what people are counting on is ignoring the pseudo-recession we had in 2014. The deflation, the rise in gas prices (I used to work a job that used a lot of gas and one time it over 5$ a gallon!), as well as the lack of jobs. 2016 was also another sketchy year where economists say it was an "undercover" or hidden mini-recession.
Obama/Biden inherited a recovering economy and managed to turn it into multiple recessions. Meanwhile, Trump had steady unemployment decline and was doing fine until a pandemic wildcard happened. Fuck them.
Edit: also under Trump's administration, I haven't seen gas rise higher than 2.30 a gallon. That is the lowest I've seen it in years. I don't know if he had anything to do with it, but it's worth noting.
