Summary

President Joe Biden highlighted his administration’s economic record, citing consistent job growth and a 2.7% inflation rate drop from its 2022 peak.

December’s jobs report showed 256,000 new jobs and declining unemployment, signaling steady economic growth.

However, inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and interest rates remain high, impacting homebuyers and businesses.

Public pessimism lingers on affordability as Biden passes a largely strong economy to his successor, Donald Trump.

      Proof of what? That Trump led an insurrection, and Garland did nothing about it, except talking about some day doing something about it?

        Garland started multiple investigations. And did all the things necessary to prosecute a President. Trump delayed that prosecution using his judges.

        Then you claim Garland didn’t start the investigations or try to prosecute Trump. And you blame Trumps enemies for Trumps actions.

            What exactly are you referring to that was publically broadcasted?

            Because the argument that Trump used was that he didn’t incite the insurrection and that the people who stormed the capital acted on their own.

            So to prosecute Trump, the DOJ had to prove beyond doubt that Trump intentionally incited the insurrection.

            Not prove it to you or me. But prove it to a Judge appointed by Trump.

            While managing the thousands of cases and investigations against the insurrectionists.

            Proving intent beyond a doubt to a Trump appointed judge would require hard evidence and could still be ruled in favor of Trump by the judge he appointed.
