Yale professor: Biden's economy most successful since FDR's New Deal - Lemmy.world

Presidents do not control the economy. Obama wished people understood that.

The economy is in covid recovery, and Biden isn't a corrupt fascist running the government like it's his personal toy.

I'll give him that.

For all we know, Mr. Yale is just happy that people are paying their student loans again.

Presidents do not control the economy, Presidential Administrations do impact an economy. The only President I know that killed an economy was Trump due to allowing covid to rage out of control and denying that it was happening.
Taking covid seriously was not going to save the economy. It would've saved lives, but the economic impact of covid was a global one.

You forget if we had been inside for 2-4 weeks it would have been over.

Plenty of other nations were done with it well before us.

No. You would have had to keep every citizen from every country inside for 2-4 weeks and enforce incredibly strict N95/KN95-only mask policies. If you have a single city not doing zero-COVID in this scenario, you lose containment.
I don’t get your point. Thanks for agreeing w/ me?

You seem to be stating if the US response had been 2-4 week strict lockdowns that we would have eradicated COVID.

I am telling you no, it wouldn't have prevented much unless every single human being on the planet was also in lockdown for the exact same 2-4 week period.

Seemed to work for so many countries but sure let’s go w/ that lol. Americans will die on any/every hill.
Which countries that locked down hard suffered a smaller economic impact?
