Trump has only been in DC for 2 and 1/2 years, and despite his pledges to drain the swamp... he has only over-flowed it with self-enriching cabinet members such as Scott Pruitt, Ryan Zinke, Tom Price and Elaine Chao. It's safe to say at this point, longevity in DC is not an indicator of how one will run an administration.In DC for 43 years...freakin 43 years, and now all the sudden he says he can solve all our problems. He is the problem, so that makes him the biggest hypocritical type of azzhat.

Lol. Biden has been a part of the division and partisanship.That is hardly heaping praise on the GOP. Biden is saying that there are good Republicans but they are intimidated by Trump's bullying. Biden is signaling a return to a less combative and a more civil and dignified tone, where bi-partisanship could exist, which I think this country is ready for.
Begging for a recession is not going to sit well. Especially if it hits right before elections. If you are Trump all you have to do is play their rhetoric on repeat. The Dems actively called for people to suffer a recession.It will be nonstop recession mongering until the election even as the economy continues to expand.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. That wont sell with the middle. The leftists wont care because they actually believe hurting the nation is better than trump.
I'm hoping to replace a gigantic asshat, the biggest of all time, with a much smaller and normal sized asshat - of either party, but preferably mine.
Trump is a big believer in the Keynesian view that recessions are caused by inadequate aggregate demand, but that can be countered through an expansionary monetary policy (increasing the money supply) and by increasing government spending. This is why he is constantly (and unprofessionally) badgering Jerome Powell to lower interest rates and why he negotiated an appropriations bill with Democrats that is going to irresponsibly explode our nation's debt. Trump is desperately trying to delay the inevitable economic downturn that results through the normal course of the business cycle, beyond the 2020 election. Recessions are normal... they are going to happen, whether you "wish" for them or not. Just as the recovery will. Bill Maher just wants the recession to begin before the election. There is nothing wrong with that.Who is calling for it? Bill Maher hopes for it, but that doesn’t mean “the dems” are calling for it. I don’t see why this will hurt the democrats.
A bastardized Keynesian economic theory has been and continues to be the only economic theory followed by all presidents. Every democrat and every republican in modern times have followed the tenet to increase spending (and not just in economic downturns which Keynes advises). Not a single president/congress has followed the tenet to decrease spending and pay back the borrowing in good economic periods.Trump is a big believer in the Keynesian view that recessions are caused by inadequate aggregate demand, but that can be countered through an expansionary monetary policy (increasing the money supply) and by increasing government spending.
