Donald Trump and the Republicans are insisting the economy is great and unhappy Americans are deluded. Just like Democrats under Joe Biden, they’re lying to themselves and everyone else — and will eventually pay the price.

    Richest country in the world. Sure don’t feel like it when you look at our: infrastructure, schools, healthcare, public transportation, etc

      What is the meaning of “the richest country in the world,” anyways? Highest digital numbers in bank? The phrase has always been so deceptive

      Which part of the USA’s enormous debt makes it the richest country? They’re paying $2b per day just on interest repayments and have a national debt of over $30 trillion. At present the debt far exceeds GDP so I would say the USA is broke.

        Richest country in the world turns out to mean that a burger and beer plus tax and tip is 50 bucks. But our education, health care and infrastructure is a global embarrasment. And we are the ones driving the equivalent of ladas now. Russians now drive posh chinese cars, which we dont sell here because itd destroy our domestic market overnight. Its all a big joke.

      Indeed…+1. Whenever an American tells me that shit, I ask them why hunger still exists in the USA along with the extreme poverty.
