Globalism? You think Trump is really anti-globalism?SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 7:52 amThey say that because Trump actually had a national economic plan. All other decisions were based on his national economic plan and thus, simply focused on making America more prosperous.JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 6:43 am The other day i saw a polling result indicating public opinion that Trump would be better on the economy than Biden. That is consistent with what I usually see. For some reason, people tend to think Republican President means better economy and more fiscal responsibility. I've always thought that makes no sense because, over my 1957 - present lifetime, that has not been my experience. So I decided to quantify it. I can provide links to the data i'm summarizing upon request.
I calculated average and median annual real GDP, Monthly unemployment rates, annual inflation rate, and annual deficit as a percent of GDP during the years of my life. I counted inauguration years as years under the party of the President inaugurated. 2021, for example, is a Democrat year as the Democrat was President during more than 11 of the 12 months. The results are below.
There is no way they suggest we have done better in terms of economics or fiscal responsibility when Republicans have been President during my lifetime. I am sure one could select different time frames and get somewhat different results. But I don't think one could be reasonable in selecting time frames and find results that support what tends to be the pubic perception in that regard. And I did not pick a time frame in an effort to make the point. I simply used my lifetime as the time frame because my perception, over my lifetime, has not been the we do better in those areas under Republicans. I got results consistent with my perception.
You'd be hard pressed to find any GOPe or Liberal candidates that will bother to talk about those plans because the BIG money doesn't want that. They want Globalism. Gotta be able to send our manufacturing base overseas where they don't have to deal with those pesky unions and pay good wages.
Not even looking at numbers, I'd have to say Dems and Reps are pretty close to the same.
What was his official economic plan?
