No, but I do have stats on the number of presidential contenders using untrue racist rhetoric. One.

He says he'll beat inflation, and it's already beaten. Last quarter it clocked in at 1.2% compared to the previous quarter. It was at 2.4% on a year-over-year basis.

He says he'll rein in illegal immigration, and it's already reined in. What's more, job demand has plummeted so pressure on the border will remain low.




He says he wants Israel to giddy up and finish off the war, and it's already winding down of its own accord because there are only so many Palestinians you can kill. It's likely to be over within his first year.

He says he'll turbocharge the economy, and it's already turbocharged. In the latest quarter, real GDP grew 2.8% and is now an astonishing 2.6% above potential GDP. That's the highest it's been in half a century.

He says he'll cut imports from China, and they've already been cut. Last year imports of goods from China came to 1.28% of GDP, the lowest in 20 years.

He says he'll produce more oil and gas, and both are already at the highest levels in American history.

He says he'll get crime down, and it's already down because it never went up in the first place. The one thing that did go up was murder, and so far in 2024 it's plummeted to 4.4 per 100,000, the lowest rate in more than 40 years.

Just sit on his hands and let the good times roll. Can he do that? Lol. Of course he can't.

And they're not going to go back down.    

Well, let's hope so, since a general decrease in prices only happens during recessions and depressions.

No, it's like noticing that it's stopped raining.

Quote:But, all that aside, the biggest, most dangerous measurable is the federal debt. I think this country must be math-challenged, to not understand how incredibly dangerous this is. NOTHING in your post said anything about the 35 trillion-dollar federal debt, which is now growing at a rate of 2 trillion dollars a year

I know that more massive Republican tax cuts for the wealthy aren't going to help.
