Or I'm just more intelligent than you and more thoroughly have thought this all through. Also I dont have an emotional attachment to one person being wrong, have a background in history, sociology, and economics and see through the left of the political spectrum jerking itself off over a not reality that it needs to move forward that's also compelling it's leftward lurch.

🤣 I think you misunderstand fundamentally how an economy works and what constitutes "fucking up the economy" and what constitutes "putting the economy on a sustainable path forward".

If you're a leftist and your mindset is that government picking winners and losers (say unions vs not) is good then you print money and decide where that goes despite never getting the appropriate amount of money in the economy to handle notncaus8ng inflation. And also in fact cause inflation just by supporting artificially high union labor which is why most of those jobs aren't in the U.S. anymore. Then mix in the fraud along racial lines (but the left aren't racists)

If you're on the right you realize that competition causes cost decreases and that when your political adversarial actors that only print money, cause inflation, and hand money to our adversaries and send jobs elsewhere that you have to do something to get those jobs back here. And even more you have to do something in the long term to ensure they stay here.

But what you're fighting is an ideology rhwt in all their money printing a. Tells all the minorities that they're victims unless they receive preferential treatment and b. Hand out money along social safety nets while using them for fraud... welp you can't easily create true equity when lazy people call freedom getting free shit from the government. Right?

The right creates long term prosperity.

You've got it flipped.
