This story in Politico will add fuel to the fire to the GOP argument that Democrats are rooting against signs of an economic recovery before November. Jason Furman, a top economist in the Obama administration and now a professor at Harvard, contends that “we are about to see the best economic data we’ve seen in the history of this country.” As the country gradually figures out how to function with the coronavirus, the sudden steep drop in economic activity will climb back up again.
In fact, it may be happening already, although it may not show up in economic statistics for a while.

Once again their timing was off. They thought they could stretch this out so it would impact the election. What is happening in PA. The democrat legislators are turning on their democrat governor. It looks like the voters in PA have had enough. We will remind them what our Governor did before election day.

If you work for the government and do not have the interest of all Americans, maybe you shouldn't be working for the government. Serving all Americans is a very healthy attitude for government officials and not oneself. It is very visible right now who is serving their own interest. . .

The list of democrat politicians I dislike is very, very long. But if, God forbid, one of them was president, I would not wish the economy would tank on his watch. I don't want my fellow Americans to suffer, much as I dislike a politician.
That's called empathy and I don't know a single prog who has it.

One amusing error that the democrats are making in their anti-Trump campaign ads is they are attempting to portray Donald Trump as not serious enough about the virus and that he is risking lives by encouraging everything to open up too early. This strategy will backfire hugely when the economy is roaring again, the virus becomes insignificant and people will see who really did the harm - DEMOCRAT dictators.

Wishing misfortune and pain, economic or otherwise, on a good and innocent people for the sole purpose of acquiring power is the very definition of evil...and yet we discussed evil and the dimocrats yesterday. So this is confirming news.

Why would it be shocking they gleefully hope for economic destruction? They have openly said they hope people in Republican states die en masse from Covid. If you can wish death on your fellow countrymen, why not economic destruction?

Re: dems "they truly deserve to lose"
This is the only truth among all the spin. It was true before the Coronavirus. It will be true no matter what the economy does. It will be true no matter what happens with the Coronavirus.
Almost nothing that happens between now and election day will alter the following summary.
It comes down to a man, Trump, who is trying to do his best for America and her People and has a pretty good record of success vs. a man, Biden, and his party that are only interested in power and control at any price and who have been shown to have no fixed principles and are utterly incompetent.

A person tweeted that they wanted all Republicans to die. What kind of hate lives in that person who did take it down after she said it. I don't hate people I don't know unless they want to physically harm me and my family. This hatred of America and half it's people is not normal. Every president has their chance to shine and do good for the nation but somewhere during Obama's reign it went wrong but I still didn't want the economy or the nation to fail. The left is like the dog that chases the yellow school bus once they catch it (gain power) what will they do with it?

One easy barometer for me is watching the highway traffic from where I live. It is busier than ever. A month ago, the traffic was non-existent. The economic recovery is well under way, but don't get complacent. No doubt, the Democrats and their thuggish lefty allies have more in store.
Don't forget what our government, at all levels, did to us for two months. They will do it again. Remember that on election day.

When democrats are in power I don't have to worry because a bad economy is a given.

A few thoughts. There's another thread on here that the virus is actually disappearing; fewer people are getting infected for several possible reasons.
The stock market is a 6 month leading predictor. After it's panic bottom in March, it has been climbing a wall of worry, so the traders are anticipating a recovery this year.
Republican recoveries are V shaped, for Victory. Democrat recoveries are L shaped, for losers.

When asked if Biden would have sacrificed the economy, Biden responded, “The answer is yes. The answer is yes, because the opportunity — the opportunity for those workers to transition to high-paying jobs, as Tom said, is real.”
Now I remember. Everyone should learn to code so you could teach your foreign replacements.

The California anti-gig law is HORRIBLE! It basically makes it very hard for people to make extra money on their own time. Now Biden wants it all over? DemonRats are just plain evil. The only people who complained about the way things were were the people who tried to make Uber and Lyft their full-time jobs with benefits. They ruined it for everyone else.
