Trump wants blood and suffering. These are the ultimate compliment, the ultimate high, for a man with his particular mental illness. We've seen this throughout history, down to our own time. We get to prove now if we are smart enough, good enough, to make sure it does not happen here.

As many as one in four people were thought to be informers for Ceausescu's secret police in the 1980s. The Securitate were responsible for the torture and death of thousands of dissenters.
"Fear of talking was there since the early '80s," the former student remembers.

On Christmas Day, the Ceausescus were executed by firing squad in a show-trial that accused them of crimes against humanity.

I'd like the nightmare where interest rates on a mortgage were 2.9% to come back. Where gas was less than $2/gal and wages were strong enough that people could afford rent and groceries.

In regards to "wages"----15% of the American population didn't even have jobs under Trump.

Now, I know that you know these things.

The other has done nothing even remotely similar, and has accomplishments that you cannot deny. (see thread of 30 you cannot deny.

Where gas was less than $2/gal

So you want lockdown back.

Trump: "It was $1.86 when I left."

We have previously written that gas prices are currently at their highest levels since 2014, and that the year-over-year rise is among the highest in at least 30 years.

However, Trump is wrong that the price per gallon "was $1.86 when I left" the White House. (Trump's office did not respond to an inquiry for this article.)

We turned to the price data collected by the federal Energy Information Administration. The national average price of a gallon of gasoline for the week of Jan. 18, 2021, was $2.38, or about 28% higher than what Trump said it was.

Stock Market is the strongest in the World.
Way up...

Inflation growth is way down, 6.65% last year,
this year, only 3.35%, while far from perfect,
a marked improvement...

Biden's policies are working to alleviate the
worst of the inflation. It is getting better.

But the President doesn't SET inflation...
Corporate CEO's do...

Sure you have your anger pointed in the right direction?

Blaming one man for the economy is the 4th grader's response
to economic downturns/problems. There are far more people and far
more forces involved, than the wishes or the policies of any
one man, be he President or not.

Just admit it. You WANT to hate him. You LIKE to hate him.
You are a bunch of hopeless right wing political junkies...
which is your right, I guess, if you want to waste your lives.

As usual, you're an uninformed idiot.

www.reuters.com

U.S. bankruptcy filings surged by 18% in 2023 on the back of higher interest rates, tougher lending standards and the continued runoff of pandemic-era backstops, data published Wednesday showed, although insolvency case volumes remain well below the level seen before the outbreak of COVID-19.

Total bankruptcy filings - encompassing commercial and personal insolvencies - rose to 445,186 last year from 378,390 in 2022, according to data from bankruptcy data provider Epiq AACER.

They rose 18% for the entire year. How can a single quarter surge 40%?

Also, the first obvious question to anyone who can think beyond "duuuhhhhhhhh" is what is the historical context of those numbers...

Bankruptcy case counts are expected to keep climbing in 2024, though there is still some distance to go to top the 757,816 bankruptcies filed in 2019, the year before the pandemic struck.

But but but the economy was all rainbows and unicorns under Trump...

Wasn't it?
