That is not all it did. It helped the poor as well.
It did not help the poor. It gave them $645 and raised the cost of goods.

What I said was that it contributed to inflation whether or not it was justified.
Again, if the stimulus caused inflation then certainly the Trump tax cut caused inflation. As you say, it takes time for these changes to be felt in the economy.

The last surplus was delivered by Clinton and a Democrat majority Congress when they passed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 over unanimous Republican opposition.

The biggest deficits have all happened under Republican Presidents. Reagan, George W and Trump.

Reagan tripled the National Debt.
Bush doubled it
Trump blew it up the most - 8 trillion in just 4 years.

Did you support these three budget busters who all gave us calamity? The S&L crisis, the Housing crisis and the Covid crisis that all led to massive bailouts and stimulus spending.

I mean you’re the bonehead who voted for Trump and still supports him.

I don’t support either of the Bushes. In terms of the budget, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden are all the same. Trump better fits my view on life and policy position

I think I will let you have the last word again. I try to be respectful and have good replies for everyone I interact with. However, every post you're making is just another variation of "Republicans bad!" I'm not a Republican, but that is getting tiresome. It's hard to make any progress when that is the only thing I have to work with. Thank you for the conversation and the chance to nerd out about numbers.

Yes, the Republicans have really bad ideas. They allowed Donald Trump to violate the constitution, they are terribly wrong on abortion rights, gay marriage, and transgender issues, the try hard to keep blacks from voting, they vilify immigrants, engage in fear mongering and their priority has always been to make rich people richer at the expense of everyone and everything else.

Are you talking about white supremacy or never admitting a mistake?

You should never apologize or admit mistakes to people that want to actively harm you.

That's just basic life skills.

I have no idea, but if you support Trump then you are supporting a person who traffics in a white grievance and white supremacy view of the world.

Someone who tells the Proud Boys during a televised Presidential debate to “stand back and stand by”.

From the LA Times article posted by GP: “Skin color and upbringing don’t preclude anyone from being an enabler of white supremacy…”

Biden is a white supremacist too. Again using your standards, both are equal.

From your quoted column:

“Here’s the thing: People who are not Black don’t get to make decisions about what we feel is best for us...

So, yes, I do believe that a wealthy white man will do less damage to Black Californians than Elder, a Black man who rose from poverty. On Tuesday afternoon, several Black elected officials, led by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) held a rally via Zoom to say they believe the same.

The reason is simple. Newsom is at least trying to do what most of us want by addressing the root causes of our problems by dismantling white supremacy, not by embracing as supporters some of the very people who embody it.“

Something isn’t adding up in her line of thought…
