It took the entire 8 years of Obama-Biden for unemployment to go back to 4.5%.

That's Biden's frame of reference for "helping" people. Pay them not to work for as long as possible, add tens of millions to food stamps and Medicaid, and raise the cost of hiring with unpredictable and byzantine programs like Obamacare.

When Obama was asked why they didn't reduce taxes which were obviously stifling the recovery, and in turn, raise the amount of taxes collected, he replied, "That's not social justice."

Sometimes I'm not sure they're lying. They just drink their own kool-aid and believe virtue signaling counts for more than the result.

Biden’s remark is stupid on its face. If the recovery helps only the wealthy, then it stands to reason that the recovery hurt only the wealthy. Even a quick survey of the facts shows the truth to be almost exactly the opposite of this.

This is what we should focus on, not weirdo theories. This stuff is nasty.

And even that is overstated, as they pulled millions out of the job market. There were 13 million more working-age people not employed at the end of Obama-Biden than there were at the bottom of the recession.
