    Pretty funny/not funny piece. It really shows how morally bankrupt our politicians and campaigns are and how they and media manipulate our beliefs. It also completely glosses over the fact that we're sleepwalking into a war we are not prepared for.

    The other thing it does show, and I believe in, is the innate strength of America, the 330 million people all endeavoring to make it a great nation.

        It also conveniently neglects the recent trend of layoffs.

          The job market for everything but subsistence wage employment is complete garbage as far as I can tell.

          Education is extremely important.

              Not just a question for Kluurs, but how much difference with either a Trump or Harris president make?

              Inflation is low right now. There is not going to be deflation, no matter who is president. Lets say it stays at 2%.
              Unemployment is low. Now, people can argue about if the numbers are correct - if it is undercount, etc.
              Things are going to happen in the world that the US cannot control. They could make things for the US economy better or worse.
              The economy cycles. Economy goes up, eventually goes down.
              Best case is a "divided" government for the economy,

                Yes, divided government always works. Neither yin nor yang.

                No George Washington. No Abraham Lincoln. No FDR.

                What a wonderful world it would be!
