    Dude, the economy wasn’t doing great under Obama either. He did the same thing, pointed at employment numbers and GDP while people were struggling. More than half the homeless people in my area report they did not come from another city. They had been slowly sliding out of being able to afford housing for the last decade. Even while working full time.

      Obama who came in as the 2008 recession was in full swing? You’re just proving his point.

        And bailed out the guys who made the situation. One guy was charged when the criminal financial conduct was widespread and common knowledge.

        That however isn’t the point. The point is there was a benefit of doubt for Obama because he wasn’t in office for decades beforehand. Biden was and is trying to run the country like it’s 1980 still.
