This is completely missing the ball. People are suffering - the metrics used here are just not good metrics of health. When the stock market is doing well, that is at the expense of the American people. For what actual value stocks have - beyond the speculative like with crypto - it is in profit.
Profit is what is stolen from American workers - the value of their labor that their employer keeps by virtue of already having. The DOW and NASDAQ are exploitation indices. They may go up with a common tide but they also go up at the expense of workers and can go down to the benefit of workers.
You might say that Biden realistically continued a general growing trend - that the pandemic's incentive wages are throwing it off - but that would suggest that he did nothing in particular to cause any change. The effect of Biden was null.
Adding jobs isn't necessarily a good thing and that would also be skewed by the pandemic - as we stopped caring about it saying the loss in life would be acceptable so that the haves could have brunch, businesses opened back up and that is a bunch of the jobs - more a restoration.
Even after adjusting for that, how does this compare to expected job growth? As a population grows, more jobs naturally will exist regardless of policy. Whether this is higher or lower than expected is not explained in the units they give us. Absolute numbers flatter the truth.
Of course, everything good in the coming economy will be attributed to Trump until he drives it right into a ditch again, and someone has to spend the next 4 years fixing it and not getting anything else done. Then people will complain, and elect the same type of GOP again. #PoliticalPurgatory
Yeah, but he failed to do the ONE thing that absolutely needed to be done. Stop Trump. He could have rebalanced SCOTUS. He could have pushed the DOJ to get the documents and insurrection trials done.
He didn't.
He played nice.
Now Trump has everything he needs to make us North Korea.
SCOTUS Justices are appointed, and approved or disapproved by Congress. It would have been a hell of a fight, considering Republican obstructionism, but a majority in the Senate, and the narrow gap in the House, he COULD have appointed 2 more Justices. Liberals to counter GOP's extreme conservatives
Biden helped create the strongest economy in the world. His infrastructure plan created the lowest unemployment rate in over 50 years. He did something that the orange Cheeto could not do from the golf course.
It is disgraceful that the mainstream media only reported about his age and not the amazing things he accomplished. And he is not a convicted criminal felon. What a low bar we have in America
Biden did a kick ass job and should have taken the win. If he didnt block others we would be better off now. All in all Biden did more for Americans than anyone in 9 years.
I will remind people of these number repeatedly over the next fours years since Trump will blow up the economy and has already said he can’t do anything to decrease prices and his goal is to keep prices stable. Stable meaning comparable to prices now. Meanwhile Trump posits military use worldwide.
I have a feeling that isn't true.
Trump and his Billie$ will push a simple, easy to repeat and unified True Fact relentlessly.
Trump Firsters just say "nuh-uh! Biden was terrible no matter what the numbers show, we don't believe numbers, anyway you made them up, we have the real numbers"

Biden wasn't loyal to workers and he didn't fight for them. He isn't as nearly antagonistic as Trump, but wages did not rise under Biden.
You can never be too petty.
He didn't.
He played nice.
Now Trump has everything he needs to make us North Korea.
History won't remember him well.
I will never appreciate the coward
who handed the nation to a criminal.
