35% of all dollars ever were printed in the last 10 months. The U.S dollar is currently being debased into nothing. It wont be worth the paper it is printed on this time next year.

As long as other countries are printing money and giving it away as fast as us the value of the dollar holds. Europe just approved a 2.2 trillion package earlier this month.

It wont be worth the paper it is printed on this time next year.

Because your dumb ass president wanted the stock market to look like it's doing well and had the Federal Reserve to pump trillions into the market to artificially inflate it to make it seem like our economy was doing well.

He wouldn’t have to do that if dem state governors didn’t have extra chromosomes and shutting down states and enforcing business closures.

And then they bitch and moan about the national debt like a year later. Sad!

So we're just going to ignore the fact that local Democratic leaders shut down their own economies and blame that on Agent Orange?

Ok then.

So they wrecked their economy, and got ravaged by the virus anyway? That's not logical.

Pro-tip: "Everyone else did it too" is never a credit to your argument.
