Economic coattails

At the debate, do you think Biden should say to Trump that he didn't build the great economy (pre covid) that he likes to brag about. Should Biden say to Trump's face that he's riding on Obama's and his economic coattails...that they handed him a strong, healthy economy?!

Yes...I really hope so too! Biden needs to point out that not only was Drumpf on 3rd base when he got their economy but Biden needs to talk about how he and Obama weren't just on home plate when their administration began.....they were in the frickin' dugout!

Biden needs to say they worked hard to get the country out of the dugout and were then able to pass off a strong economy to Drumpf!

If you were rich before the pandemic, you were obviously already doing very well.

And those rich folks are doing even better after Dump handed them a lot of our money, with virtually no strings attached, while everyday Americans maybe got $1,200.

And what about the tax cut Dump gave to millionaires and billionaires?

I'm tired of hearing about the 'great economy." The stock market is not the economy for most of us. Dump's economy is only great if you're already wealthy.
