Anyone can find an expert that agrees with them. Macro economics are (is?) more complicated than any human can fully understand. Larry Summers blames Biden. I could probably find several PhD Econ people who say it’s primarily Covid and supply chain issues. Neither of us know who is actually right but we’ll pretend that we do.
Your first sentence is correct. The rest of it, not so much. Any economist who blames a current President for the economy is a fool. Summers got sh!tcanned out of his Harvard with a vote of No Confidence, because he was an idiot. Summers has a minority opinion, and he's wrong.
Selections from Cawthorn’s gallery of greatest-hit controversies include sexual abuse allegations dating back to his college years; accusations of insider trading; being stopped for attempting to bring a gun through airport security (twice); being pictured wearing women’s lingerie; being filmed while nude and thrusting his crotch into another man’s face; and that time he heavily implied that members of his very own Grand Old Party made a habit of inviting him to cocaine-fueled orgies.

"I have never seen a defendant who has committed so many different types of crimes in such a short period of time" division.
He's given a massive amount of info to the government but Gaetz has not been indicted? What exactly did he tell the gummint?
ORLANDO, Fla. — A Florida tax collector who has been cooperating with the Justice Department in its sex trafficking investigation into Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, was sentenced on Thursday by a federal judge to 11 years in prison. The tax collector, Joel Greenberg, had faced up to nearly three decades in prison for a litany of crimes he had committed, including trafficking a 17-year-old girl, stalking a political rival and stealing $400,000 in taxpayer money to buy cryptocurrencies and sports memorabilia. But in the hope of receiving a lesser sentence, he had cooperated with the government in a series of investigations, including into Mr. Gaetz. “He has provided substantial cooperation to the government — more than I’ve seen in 22 years,” Judge Gregory A. Presnell said. But the judge also excoriated Mr. Greenberg’s behavior. “In 22 years, I’ve never experienced a case like this,” Judge Presnell said, adding, “I have never seen a defendant who has committed so many different types of crimes in such a short period.”

Yeah but he least he had a Harvard to begin with ya know?
An arizona trumpist county tried not to certify its results. As a test run. A nullifaction attempt. This time it failed and the state court forced them to certify. And they did it. Next time…who knows. Repubs don’t want to live in a democracy any more if it means they can lose elections
wapo:
A judge in Arizona on Thursday ordered the governing board of a ruby-red county in the southeastern corner of the state to certify the results of the Nov. 8 election, finding that its members had no authority to shirk a duty required under state law. “You will meet today,” Superior Court Judge Casey F. McGinley told the three members of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors. “You will canvass the election no later than 5 o’clock.” When the board convened at 3:30 p.m., with one Republican absent, the two remaining supervisors, one Republican and one Democrat, voted to certify the results. The surrender, under court order, ended a standoff in Cochise County that threatened to upend the state’s process for affirming the will of more than 2.5 million Arizona voters. The ensuing chaos could have undermined the projected victories of Republicans in a U.S. House seat and the statewide race for schools superintendent.

In Joe's defense he had no idea this girl was over 18 when he assaulted her.
You are a moron. She has been discredited already. People who know her say she is off her rocker. No chance of anything happening here, because her story is BS.

If you're making fun of me because I left out the word "job" after Harvard, then touché and good show, but just because he was employed by Harvard doesn't make him right about his opinions. He's wrong here.
Supertanker America rolls on. Jobs for everyone. The miserable media lets most Americans think we are in a recession. Fail.
Non-farm payrolls increased 263,000 in November, a bigger gain than the 200,000 increase expected by economists polled by Dow Jones. Treasury yields jumped as stocks slid as investors responded to the data. “The supply of workers remain low, the demand for workers remains high,” said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors.

This is interesting. You seem to be making the argument that Presidents are not responsible for the economy. Who or what is responsible, then?
For the record, I disagree. Remember when the economy stalled in Obama's second term? His supporters used your argument (if I'm reading it correctly), bur Obama himself blamed George W Bush. Which massively undercuts the argument.
And...go easy on Summers, please. Advisor's who say things that leaders don't want to hear are valuable. Summers was kicked out of Harvard for suggesting that there were fewer women in STEM due to fundamental differences between men and women. Pundit George Will had my favorite take: "He thought he was speaking in a place that valued freedom of expression. He was wrong, as his words were spoken on a college campus."

Yep. There are currently 1.7 jobs available for every job seeker.
Gas prices are falling like a rock. Gas can be had for $2.79 a gallon in Central Ohio. Inflation is continuing to fall. Sanity is coming back after those Oath Keepers were held accountable. More Oath Keepers and Proud Boys will be held accountable too...and then on up the chain.
It's too bad that the stock market can't go along here, but I understand the reason (though odd that a strong jobs market is not good for stocks). For me, at this stage of my life, it doesn't matter, but for anyone who currently needs a stronger market, I can understand their disappointment.
