Worse
The free money biden harris regime shoveled out will wind down.
Democrats always throw money at their problems, usually of their own making.
Until crude oil prices come down price of transporting goods will stay high.
People have more credit card debt than before 2008 recession.
Discretionary spending is way down and it’s hurting businesses.
Federal reserve has already screwed up on interest rate as they so often do.
It will continue to get worse! And if Kamala Harris and the Democrats win, we’re in for real trouble economically. Your average family out there is really having to cut back and sacrifice. We are worse off than we were four years ago! Things*were* better* under*Trump!
Harris in the White House would be Obama’s 4th term.
Fight, Fight, Fight #TRUMPFOREVER
If you mean covid relief dollars..Trump was the first to support and sign into law, a $2.2 trillion bill, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES).
If Trump wins in November, it will get better. Drilling for oil on American soil and becoming energy independent will definitely help improve the economy, and If the Republicans succeed in mass deportation, I predict we will see substantial economic growth.
If the Dems win, it will get worse. Depending on foreign oil, and allowing millions of illegal invaders into the United States, is a sure recipe for a disastrous economy. As always, the Dems will spin it and blame the GOP for their failures.
This is from March 2024: https://www.vox.com/climate/2409883/biden-oil-production-climate-fossil-fuel-renewables That took 2 minutes to research.
Whom do you think will work in the fields after mass deportation? When farmers have to pay higher wages, who is going to cover those costs?
Democrats already took care of farm labor issue last Century when they decided to Help farm workers. Between state red tape, new regulations and pay, cost of human labor became more expensive than automation.
That’s the key, human labor more expensive than automation
Democrat politicians can not for some reason grasp that fact.

Worked with automation in a very large manufacturing facility for many years, have seen advances in machine vision, faster computer control and actuators. Fun stuff to build and install.

If humans are needed there number is few.
Autonomous machines with machine vision can work 24/7,

When His Imperial Majesty Emperor newsom and democrat super majority state legislature in their infantil wisdom decided minimum wage for fast food workers. Automation was being slowly adopted but since law was signed, conservative estimate is 10,000 workers became unemployed and restaurant automation plans were prioritized and sped up.
In short what democrats did to farm workers last Century is happening to fast food workers.

democrat politicians is such smart people – – – That’s a JOKE !
Your sorry attempt to defend illegal invaders by saying who will pick the veggies is old, and out of date. Try something new. There are over 30 million illegal invaders in the US, and they are all not working the fields. Most farming is done by robotic automation, and I don’t care if the price of veggies quadruple, DEPORT them all. The amount of taxes we are paying for free education, free food stamps, free welfare, and free health care is a lot more than what we will pay for veggies at the grocery store.
Depends on who wins the election.
Yes – it will get worse especially if Harris gets the WH … it will be spend spend spend on the domestic feel good give-aways
It will never get better, it’s well past the point of no return and anyone who believes it will must be a crooked politician cian.
If Harris is elected, the US economy will be inflationary due to increased government spending and higher (pro-labor) labor costs. She has to leave her “legacy’, right?
When Trump is elected, good times are back with lower energy prices and trade agreements… “all boats will rise” because everyone will confidently participate in the economy.
The Fed seems to be well disciplined on monetary (M1,M2,M3) policy.
The economy will continue to get worse.
If the Democrats continue to rule, the economy will only worsen.
Better. News today is that the nation’s economy accelerated last quarter at a strong 2.8% annual pace, with consumers and businesses helping drive growth despite the pressure of continually high interest rates.
Impressive. We can thank the Biden/Harris administration for the sound fiscal policy that has pulled us out of the morass that was the Trump administration.
How can Harris do worse than Trump’s $7.8 trillion to the national debt?
FYI, most of that figure was prior to Covid.
