Believes Biden has inherited a crippled economy
As I was reading a recent editorial from another paper printed in The Dispatch, I noticed it was a reprint from the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
And later the same day, I came across the headlines of an article that was printed in USA Today newspaper which stated: When COVID testing was scarce, CDC director called in favor to help Nevada GOP leader. He believed he had been exposed to COVID, but could not get a test in his hometown because he had no symptoms. He called the CDC director who had a test fast-tracked to him. Google to read the whole story-CDC director called in favor to help Nevada GOP leader.
In this column, it states that Mr. Biden has tacitly announced that he favors a return to the Obama-era “new normal” stagnant growth. The editor of this article should remember that Trump, when elected president, inherited from the Obama/Biden-era, the longest economic expansion in our history.
Another recent article in The Dispatch states: Transition turmoil splits Mississippi delegation.
After Biden’s inauguration, Steven Palazzo said: Let it be known that America’s problems are not best met with socialist proposals that are going to further erode our years of historic economic success.
After the Bush-era, it was 2018 before our economy gained back what it lost. The economists called it the lost decade.
And now, with Biden’s inheritance from Trump, the economy may even be worse than what Bush left us. Time will tell.
You certainly can’t say that our historic economic success is due to your party.
We now have a president that is a friend to America. His approval rating is 63 percent, higher than Trump’s ever was.
Unity will be hard to come by with all the conspiracy theorists and far-right extremism in the Republican party.
