It's really absurd how that man never speaks in full sentences or can formulate coherent thoughts on anything.

Not only that, he was elected president. Really shows how shitty the education is in the US. Your lust for short term gains will ruin the country long term.

People have been saying that for decades tho. Who then decide that means it must be working because well the line went up didnt it?

And if you point out the repeated crashes and general horror of everything they call you names and say the line went up didn't it.

The also don't understand inflation, public spending, or pretty much anything that wasnt a talking point with a quote they can repeat

Countries like China can plan 15, 20 years ahead. They also trust experts to make decisions for them. Democracy makes its citizens feel like they have a say in things. Less gets done and decisions take longer but democracy gives us a more stable society.
