2028 ELECTION THREAD
Government programs are inherently inefficient, that includes government forced "retirement" plans. I would much rather my SS taxes be in my own pocket so I can determine how to invest them myself. As for healthcare there is a reason we have the most cutting edge health care in the world. Are things perfect? No, we have fascist policies such as EMTALA which force emergency departments to see nonsensical complaints which creates a chain reaction and clogs up the system. What other business i
luciom?
lol not even being subtle
Maybe if it looked like this:

What other business is forced to do business with leeches who will never pay their bill?
you think i'm trolling which is sad because it means you honestly think your own situation doesn't matter so long as it sucks for others as well

Maybe you should reread my post before saying stupid thing like that .
And fwiw , this is exactly what those people on the right says , wealth inequality doesn’t matter Right ?
And socialism is bad ?
lol….
It’s been a very long time those defect are occurring and it will just get even worst as the U.S. don’t change course .
So keep doing tax cuts lol ….
But regardless again , name me a place where the economy is better than the US ?
Ps: you are not a leftish so stop trying to be.
FWIW I pay a big chunk of taxes in my country and I never complain about it , so u think I’m the one that don’t care about others situation ?
lol….
Real gdp per capita in the U.S. .
Biden didn’t broke the trend
Biden still historically fine on the poverty rate shrug .

So the U.S. are stable poverty wise and the best economy in the world .
Yet lololol Biden is bad ?
Ok ….
We basically had the same conversation in the Trump Economy and Poker thread.
A: "Growth was terrific in the first three years of Trump...Why can't you conceded that!!"
B: "It was 2.6%, not any better than Obama or Biden, wtf are you talking about?"
Crickets.
You can't really talk to these people when facts don't matter to them.
Social Security and Medicare not sustainable, these programs need to be eliminated for the betterment of All Americans.
There is no way you can believe this. Obviously it isn't better for the people who lose these benefits, but then the remaining people now have to deal with a shitload of extra destitute elderly people who become homeless and all the associated social problems, plus an extra burden of needing to support your elderly family members so they don't become homeless.
I guess it depends on how you define a good economy ?
If you define a good economy by the longevity of its citizens, the US sucks.
If you define a good economy by the obesity of its citizens, the US sucks.
If you define an economy by the homeless population, the US sucks.
If you define a good economy as one in which people routinely go broke due to medical bills, the US is without a doubt the best.
If you define a good economy as one which only concentrates wealth in fewer and fewer hands, the US is certainly best.
If you define a good economy as one in which the wealthy get to purchase Congress and the media, the US is awesome.
What are your criteria for a good economy ?

How usually economies are evaluated .
Gdp..
Creating economic activities .
Using many economic indicators .
It has nothing to do with how politically the wealth distribution is decided .
That’s another matter .
Could it be better of course , but for now the US is in the lead by far .
Yeah but if you define US economy based on number of potholes on my street it's doing terrible so now what

Thank you for acknowledging that your definition of a good economy has nothing whatsoever to with the wellbeing of the citizens or the stability of the society.
You are correct, the US is in the lead when it comes to an economy which doesn't have the objective of a stable society. Can't wait for the hyperinflation to amplify that GDP # !!!
USA, USA, USA, USA !!!

The point was the US has the Best economy of the world ~> Biden did fine and poverty Level was not higher during his term on historical level despite many problems he had to deal with .
Now if you believe the problem you exposes are due to biden and not how the American s system works for past many decades I lol to you….
The problem in the U.S. isn’t how the economy perform , it’s how it is shared and people think it’s fine, by a majority in the 2024 popular vote shrug .
More tax cut and nonsense wealth inequalities .
That is what they want ….
I know it can be blasphemy in a politics forum to some people to acknowledge good or bad things about the economy, but we currently have the highest hourly earnings adjusted for inflation since basically longer than anyone has been alive - mixed in with near record low unemployment, and far better working conditions.
You could certainly find cases of fattys, or not being able to buy a house that's 50% bigger than the shitty crackerjack house your grandparents lived in and such to discredit that but things aren't what a lot of folks think they are.
But the future is a mystery, and it wouldn't at all be a surprising for things to get a lot worse from here - and they certainly can.
