it's crazy that so many people believe Republicans are better for the economy, when the facts show so clearly that the economy does better on nearly every measure w/ Dems

Fact: Trump's average GDP growth rate over his 5 years as president so far is 1.75%, the lowest of any president since the Great Depression.

She says "govt employees upon govt employees", but the truth is that the number has not grown since the 1960s, though the population has roughly doubled. The number of *contractors* has grown a lot, but notice that "DOGE" is not doing anything like a careful evaluation of contractors.

1) pro-corruption is not the same as pro-business. 2) Maybe it's not a surprise that the NASDAQ went up under Biden, since corporate profits have been up WAY more than under Trump: 3) Cramer is an idiot.
