back in the 90's. "It's the economy stupid." Most people aren't educated enough about the economy and don't understand how it works. The press wasn't reporting enough on price gouging or all the things President Biden did to improve the economy. As a video that was posted in another thread proves, they also don't understand the consumer ultimately pays the tariff because the seller passes it on to them.

That's not even as bad as they fact that they don't notice that almost every time a Republican gets in office and uses the trickle down economics theory we go into a recession and a Democrat has to come in and save our asses, but then we get temporary inflation, people blame the Democrats and the whole dumb ass cycle starts all over again.

There is a lot I don't understand about the economy but I'm just remembering what my high-school economics teacher and my college economics professor said. Strangely enough the college professor was a Republican who thought trickle down economics was complete bunk.
