Biden "Best President"
CNN ^ | 6/27/2024 | quoted from speech by Joe Biden

Posted on 06/30/2024 11:20:59 AM PDT by econjack

Biden bragged how a group of economist ranked Biden the best President. First, Biden was not ranked first. He was ranked 14th. Trump was ranked last.

That begs the question: Who conducted the research for the report? The report, The 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey, released in February, collected responses from 154 presidential historians, which included current and recent members of the American Political Science Association. Trump should ask: Of those 154 historians, what percentage have research grants/funding from the gov't. It's sort of like asking you if you like the person signing your paycheck.

Also, many of the claims Biden made about his economic "successes" were "fact checked" by various groups. Their main source was The 2024 Economic Report of the President. Again, hardly unbiased.

Trump needs to hit him with numbers. A gallon of gas was $1.87 where I live when he was in office. It's now $3.39. Go through a grocery list and compare. People understand those things.

The last ranking of Presidents had Trump tied for #41 with Pierce, with just 3 Presidents ranked lower. Now this one has him at #45. I think the new one has Reagan at #16.

These surveys seem to be based on how much a particular President pushed the policy agenda favored by the person ranking the Presidents.

Biden made great progress for home security companies, bus rentals, and probably firearms dealers too. I would imagine a few arms corporations involved in the Ukraine mass killing event are doing very well. And if you’re related to Joe Biden, ka-ching.

Otherwise dead last, I would say. For normal people.

They can say all they want about Trump, but we have direct & ongoing evidence about Biden’s presidency. If there was even one day that it could said to have been good...well let me know which day that was. I must have forgotten to have written it on my calendar. Since it would have been historic, I would have noted it.

I don’t buy a lot of gas or groceries & haven’t purchased many big ticket items lately either, but I have noticed something that has really affected what I have left of my Soc. Sec. dollar & that is any kind of repair work; be it auto, plumbing, whatever. That will really kill you if you are low income. Big time expense.
