Mark my words: Biden will probably win, he’ll enact restrictions and shut downs, the economy will tank, and he will spend 4 years blaming it on the fact that he inherited this problem from Trump, all whilst raising most everyone’s taxes.
There’s your future, enjoy it Biden voters! If you need a visual, make a visit to NYC, Chicago, Portland or San Francisco to see what your state might look like under oppressive restrictions, pushback against police, and high taxation!
it's not the shutdowns that crushed the economy, it's covid.
researchers can now look at places that shut down and places that didn't.
Little difference.

Fix covid, you fix the economy.

That's BIden's plan and it's the only reasonable one.

President Trump and many supporters blame restrictions on business activity, often imposed by Democratic governors and mayors, for prolonging the economic crisis initially caused by the virus. But the experience of states like Iowa shows the economy is far from back to normal even in Republican-led states that have imposed few business restrictions.
