Not disagreeing, but adding. It is hard to argue that the world was not in financial chaos when Biden took over. The world was in financial chaos when Biden took over. Unemployment was high, deficits enormous, uncertainty everywhere, death rates from covid massive, etc.
It's better now. It happened on his watch. GDP is just one measure.
Same as that Obama took over in a world in chaos. It got much better under his watch.
Would you say we aren't in financial chaos anymore? We now have super high energy prices, chip shortages, random shortages coming and going every month like baby formula, tech stocks collapse. Flagpole is on track to lose to the Dow for only the second time in history. You can say those things aren't Joe Biden's fault, but neither is the economic recovery that was going to happen anyway.

45 year high inflation.Massive unprecedented debt. Historic lack of labor force participation. Unsecured borders leading to a incredible strain of resources. Fuel costs through the roof . Social unrest. Rampant aggressive crime.

Brandonomics is a massive fail, Baghdad agip.
sorry, man, most of that was worse during captain bone spur's administration.
Republicans have never led by these numbers, and never led consistently for so many months this early in the election cycle. Most of the above polls have a dem+ bias- so it's even worse for you dems.
Are you unaware that the ocean is large? Technology can't do much if it isn't present.
OMG. You are as dumb as Trump. "The ocean is large." You are hilarious.
You really think we'd be better off with the Navy we had 20 years ago?
Yes, technology can do more than it used to. A modern ship can project power over a much larger area than the ships of old.
But it's still more than big enough that one can have too few ships. I'm a 31 year Navy veteran, retired a few years ago. Haven't been keeping up at all, but I'm certain that our Navy is still smaller than what we need to be everywhere we'd like and/or "need" to be, especially the Western Pacific (for China, obviously). Ships' sensors and weapons only reach so far. And average speed has increased little, if at all (LCS aside...but still not terribly meaningful). And a significant number still need escorts to defend them from the greatest threats, diluting the number of potent offensive ships you have for other things (particularly offensive things).
And doesn't help when you decide to buy ships like LCS (with which I was directly involved). Sure, a ship like that is packed full of tech we didn't have 20 or more years ago. But if it still can't defend itself well against sophisticated air threats (as it couldn't, and I'm sure still can't), or pack much of an offensive punch, or get very far on a tank of gas (1 variant is better than the other, don't recall which), or be reliable enough to operate long periods before repairs....you don't have nearly what you need or ought to have got for the high price.
Just read an article in CNN today that the Navy is ALREADY asking to decommission a bunch of them. Holy cow. Already an embarrassing program, and this is probably the worst hit, yet.
Long story short, folks who you would think would be FAR better at spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the best defense possible.....STILL get it wrong too often.
Of course, EXTREMELY little or NONE of that actually has ANYTHING to do with the capabilities, or lack thereof, of any recent president. The services and DoD (and perhaps to a lesser extent, Congress and industry) DO deserve most or all of the blame.

He would be richer today if he had invested all his inheritance in index funds.
No... you're just repeating what some other idiot said without doing the math.
It doesn't matter. We all know that if the numbers were put right in front of you, you'd find some other deflection.
It is continually interesting that folks who, for some reason, are intent not to be labeled as Trumpers, daily defend the indefensible and wave away the undeniable about the man.....
You guys are clearly comfortable in your "I hate liberals" skin, so why can't you be completely comfortable in your "I love Trump" skin ??
OMG. You are as dumb as Trump. "The ocean is large." You are hilarious.

and everyone knows large ships will be sunk immediately by swarms of missiles should a major war break out. The money is better spent elsewhere than just a lot of ships that would end up on the bottom.
Depends who you're fighting against. And where. And lots of other variables. And ships with highly capable anti-air defense will only get so small. And larger ships take damage better. And carriers are still useful, and they have to be large. And......
And some of the above is the huge challenge of being a worldwide blue water naval power. You need lots of stuff to be everywhere, and you need to be able to defend against everything from jet skis with rockets in the Straits of Hormuz to capable Chinese anti-ship missiles off Taiwan, and everything in-between. Super expensive. Even better if you're not clearly dumb about it (LCS).
