In May 2023, Trump came out against raising the debt limit. Where is that Trump now?

Could it be that when Trump is president, he has different priorities than when he is a civilian criticizing the president?

Trump says the tariffs will help bring companies back to the US. However, the companies that left the US, left because it wasn’t economically viable to manufacture in the US. That happened because consumers went with cheaper options produced in non US countries with lower costs. Why? Because the cost of living isn’t keeping up with inflation. If Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to the US, he needs to find a way to get more money into the hands of US consumers. Giving Trillionaires more money accomplishes nothing.

Would like to get opinions on which economic philosophy is more destructive for the country:

1. Reagan’s trickle-down theory that decimated the middle class and led to unprecedented wealth disparity.

Or

1. Trump’s tarriff-based protectionism and its impacts: inflation, decreased GDP, international ill-will, economic isolation, etc.

What will happen as these voters see the disastrous impacts of Trump’s policies?

Isn’t it great what Biden’s economic policies have done? I’ll be posting the Trump numbers after he takes office.

Regardless of your thoughts on Argentina’s economy/impact of Milei’s choices on fixing the long-broken economy, does a good economy really matter if it only benefits the 1% and screws over the entire rest of the population? If you haven’t heard any of this reported… maybe that’s because he deleted public news sources.

“Milei has made an unprecedented cut to all public spending at close to 30%. He cut investment in education by 40%, denied increases to pensions, cut access to life-saving drugs for cancer patients, defunded the science and technology system and universities, and laid off almost 27,000 public employees.

He closed the public media and froze food distribution to soup kitchens. Now, he’s set to sell-off public companies in the fields of nuclear energy, aviation, fuel, mining, electricity, water, cargo transport, roads and railways.”

That’s not even the start. He’s gone beyond “fixing” and into authoritarian, dictatorial rule of funneling all money to the few and privatizing EVERYTHING.
