While I have no doubt that you are correct in that Republicans would love to see a major recession of depression for their political advantage, the fact is that while the "numbers" look good we are in a great recession already. 48% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings, 49% of Americans have less savings (39%) or no savings (10%)…
While I have no doubt that you are correct in that Republicans would love to see a major recession of depression for their political advantage, the fact is that while the "numbers" look good we are in a great recession already. 48% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings, 49% of Americans have less savings (39%) or no savings (10%) compared to one year ago, household debt is at a record $17 trillion and many of my patients can no even pay their copays (admittedly the ACA has resulted in copays of $100 so this is understandable). So the wonders of the Biden economy are being felt by those who have the influence and voice to talk like pundits musing over how Democrats should message better but not by the working class and marginalized communities. The depression is likely coming anyway, but yes Republicans will do anything to make certain it arrives before the next election cycle.
