Blame Trump: Politico Tries to Cover for Potential Biden Econ Failure
NewsBusters ^ | 11/25/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 11/25/2020 10:29:12 AM PST by JV3MRC

Liberal outlet Politico is already attempting to shield former Vice President Joe Biden from criticism of a potential economic failure by — wait for it — blaming President Donald Trump.

The outlet’s story was pathetically headlined “Trump Strips Biden’s Options to Boost the Economy.” The main argument: “Joe Biden is entering the White House with big hopes of juicing the economy with new spending and a Federal Reserve ready to unleash its arsenal of lending programs to prevent the country from slipping back into a recession. He might get none of it.” Politico financial services reporter Victoria Guida alleged that “A rare public spat between the Trump administration and the Fed last week exposed the stark reality of the economic policy ammunition Biden will inherit: a stick rather than a bazooka.” Ah, so if the economy ends up imploding, according to Politico, Biden shouldn’t be held responsible.

Typical.

I thought the Politico story was a warning that Pedo Joe is going to do everything he can to DESTROY AMERICA and Plunge us into a Depression that will make 1929 look like America’s Heyday.

Hey Politico, what's stopping the Fed from doing that now? DUH...

The press economic reporting rules are simple no matter what year, decade or century, and with total disregard of facts, common sense, or personal experience. They are following the rulebook here.
1. Democrats command robust, healthy, growing economies. They always inherit economic disasters and misery caused by previous Republican administrations.
2. Republicans always inherit fantastic economies from Democrats and run them into the ground.

Any investment “news” site that spouts this trash should forever be disregarded as partisan propaganda with no genuine financial advice.

You want some advice? Invest in oil companies. As domestic production is again squashed by the Democrats, oil prices will skyrocket.

Get ready to pay $4 a gallon for gas again.

I would gladly pay more taxes if the money went to something important like buying more cocaine for Hunter Biden to snort off some whore’s ass.

Duh. I called this as soon as Joe and the Ho were selected. I said no matter what happens, if it’s bad, it’s Trump’s fault.

But then, that didn’t take great insight, most of us saw that.

Here’s a thought for all the drug dealers.

Under a socialist government, you have to give away your cocaine and live in a studio apartment with three other families.

Good times. Good times.

lol.

BHO: The recovery is all my doing (which is a lie; the recession was over in Q2 2008, before the first Obama stimulus buck ever hit the economy). Truth of the matter (unpopular though it is at FR) is that GWB fixed the great recession, and TARP actually made money.

BHO: everything bad that happened is bush’s fault.

BHO: Trump’s economic miracle is because of me.

Older, whiter BHO: repeat.

Endless lockdowns combined with endless “stimulus” deficit spending is a recipe for the total and final destruction of America. Whether Joe comprehends that is an open question, but it is certainly understood by the globalist elite and is their weapon of choice against us.

If Biden ultimately succeeds at becoming the beneficiary of the election theft, it is the duty of every patriot to refuse to comply any further with restrictions and lockdowns. Many democrats will be on our side as well, finally driven more by their instinct for self preservation than by their insane politics. If a large enough percentage of the population rebels, and continues to pump life into the economy, then the globalists will not only fail at destroying the economy, but will have a harder time justifying ruinous “stimulus” spending.

It goes without saying that Trump will be blamed for all failures and that gropey joe will be credited for the recovery and the vaccine.

bammy was blaming Bush for 5 years after Bush left office.
Then the dems gave bammy credit for Trump’s recovery.

China Joe will finish trashing the American economy with COVID, and blame it on Trump.
