The economic situation is not even remotely comparable between the situation caused by the pandemic and the economic situation between 2009-2012.
The pandemic caused a sudden massive rise in unemployment in the US, but a huge number of these jobs losses where temporary and would always comeback as soon the restrictions where ease/lifted. Its a unique situation does that doesn't apply to 2009-2012.
You could argue if you wanted that Trump opening the economy back up as soon as he did likely resulted in more jobs coming back sooner than if the Democrats where in charge, but I don't believe you can just look at the handling of the pandemic purely from an economic prism you have to factor in the reason there was the restrictions in the first place, to preserve human life, you have to weigh the pro's and cons to the public health and the economy, not just one or the other . Perhaps Donald Trump brought back 100,000-300,0000 thousand more jobs quicker than a Democrat administration would of and prevented thousands of job losses becoming permanent losses, perhaps a Democrat administration would have preserved 10,000-30,000 more lives and perhaps they would have been able to get the pandemic under greater control by keeping restrictions in place for longer and thus being able to get the economy fully up and running quicker and in the long term lessen the economic damage of the pandemic to a greater degree.
Its just bizarre praising praising job growth when the job losses from the pandemic are still well in excess of the jobs recovered.
"Perhaps the most successful government economic intervention ever. Yet you won’t read one word about this in the mainstream media. "
You wouldn't read that in the mainstream media because its not true. Check around, there is a number of countries who's economies have held better than America's.
I think its going be a few years after the pandemic is over before we really know what countries handled it well and what countries didn't. The pandemic is still ongoing and there will be ups and downs.
"One could sense Trump’s frustration with this tilted playing field in
the debate.....Chris Wallace another swamp creature did his best to help
Biden. The club is impressive, they all know what’s required of them."
Trump's carry on during the debate where a demeaning to the office of the President. I'd be embarrassed to have that man as the political leader of my country. The funny thing about him interrupting Biden so much is that he didn't give Biden enough rope to hang himself. Most pundits are calling it a narrow win for Biden but few people will remember it for anything more than it being a disgrace to democracy.
