17. True, until and if there's ever another election to repair our economy after tRump's GOP are through raiding Treasury

Because Clinton, Obama, and Biden have all had to repair the economic messes of their republican predecessors. But like clockwork, after the repairs were made, somehow, enough people were convinced or votes were overlooked to allow a GOP successor. And that republican successor ended up devastating our economy.

But equally, I'm disgusted by the repeated claim that tRump had a good economy. You cannot claim you had a good economy if you also ran up record deficits (borrowing) to prop up such an economy. That's like saying you're rich because you own a $10 million home with a $10 or $11 million note on it.
