Biden spent 4 years cleaning up Trump’s mess

I mean, I’d argue one of the reasons Dems lost was that they didn’t clean up the mess. He focused primarily on relieving tensions in the private business sector while largely neglecting the public sector - leaving Dejoy to ransack the Post Office, failing to boost SS COLAs to match record inflation, focusing more energy on funding conflict in Ukraine than financing debt relief for student borrowers or underwater home owners, leaving a litany of crooks and cranks unprosecuted and unjailed so that they could go on to prop up the next fascist administration - which was great for the banking and tech sector but miserable for everyone else.

That’s actually a trend for Republican presidents in general.

Well, its been a common baton pass since the Nixon/Ford Administration. Republicans fuck up the economy on a national scale. Democrats bail out private business at the expense of the public sector, then privatize the parts of the public sector that are failing in order to justify the next generation of private bailouts.

The housing sector reveals this in spades. From Nixon/Ford to Carter to Reagan/Bush 41 to Clinton to Bush 43 to Obama to Trump to Biden, we see a very obvious pattern of public housing becoming public lending becoming private lending becoming private bailouts and foreclosures. And the end result is a steady collapse in the share of homes owned by the people who live in them, while the debts these people owe to private banks (along with the interest revenue on those loans) inflates to turn the FIRE sector into the backbone of the national economy.

Democrats have their role to play in this, but it largely boils down to bailing out failed businesses and “innovating” public-private partnerships, saving capitalism from itself. They’re medics who resuscitate a dying man, stuff him pockets full of cash, and then send him back out to have another bender.

It’s always opposite day
