economical effects of the current political administration

also i know this might sound odd but there's literally a wikipedia page for lies that trump has told we should have one too

no seriously his link with paracetamol and autism in babies was lwk crazy

yes, we can absolutely include that. it'll take me a minute to do the research there. is there anything you would like to have included? you can also definitely do your own educational post after whatever i find. i bet you know more about the economy than me and could have some good insight to add

thank you so much, your post is amazing!! i think it covers very very well, i mostly have more specific examples 😅

i really do not know much about the economy so i seriously welcome any additional insight and specific examples. i read over the proposed budget a few months back so i feel comfortable talking about that but the economy? that's your wheelhouse

i actually never read the entire budget in detail, i've only skimmed it so far, so you probably know more about that than me, but genuinely thank you that's really sweet 😭🙏

also just really grateful that you mentioned that the republicans currently control all three branches of government, judicial (supreme court) legislative (house, senate), and executive (oval office). i find it very interesting when people blame our first government shut down in six years (our last one was also under trump's administration and lasted over a month; house, scotus, oval office were red; senate was blue) on democrats, like y'all acting as if they have total authority over this 🥀

yeah i was trying to get ahead of any argument about that because like come on. it's the republicans. they control everything
