To be honest, Lauren, I'm using someone else's words to reply, those of William Weir, Author, journalist, minister and I feel he'd be glad to have this shared. The facts stated are easily found- by anyone who wants to do so. But, you didn't want that in 2020 and till don't, so, here's a response written to someone else who holds your opinions:

"Has President Biden helped the economy or lowered inflation?"

Hmmm. Let’s see. Before the pandemic, the previous guy had killed about 2,000 American factories and cost us 300,000 jobs because of his trade war. In 2018 we saw the worst year for the Dow since the 2008 housing crisis, ending the longest bull market in American history. By 2019 the Fed was lowering interest rates to try to prevent a recession.

Then a pandemic happened, the former guy said it wasn’t a real threat, then blamed it for his failed economy. We saw record job losses, the six worst point drops in the history of the Dow, and a record deficit. The one thing the former guy did to actually impact anything was to force OPEC into a deal to raise oil prices until mid-2022. Because obviously the best thing to do during a global financial crisis is increase global fuel prices. Well, if you’re an idiot that is.

So what did Biden do? Well, in 2021 the pandemic got worse, but thanks to Biden’s stimulus bill and policies, 85% of businesses and 95% of schools that closed in 2020 reopened by the end of 2021. We saw a record number of jobs added to the economy in a single year, a record number of new businesses startups, a record cut to the deficit in a President’s first year, and the Dow set a record for most record highs in one year.

We saw the fastest economic recovery in history. Inflation in the US remained consistently lower than that in other industrialized nations, unemployment reached a historic low, childhood poverty hit a record low, workforce participation increased for the first time since Clinton was president, saw home values rise, saw wages rise, saw the best GDP growth in four decades, we made a historic investment in infrastructure without adding a dollar to the deficit, brought microchip manufacturing to the US, and made it legal for Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices for the first time in history.

Now we’ve added a record number of jobs to the economy for a single Presidential term, we’ve had the largest surge in wealth to the middle class in decades, and domestic oil production is at a record high. And all we did differently was change Presidents."

It's strange, nut those seem like good things to me. Am I deluded and think good things are bad things if an older person does them? Will you explain why you don't like those things? It seems to be merely because Joe Biden is an old, white man and I'm sorry to burst you bubble but that old man gets things done.
