What demonstrable evidence is there that Democrat policies are better for the middle class?

@WuWei

No…

Do you want to explain to move the discussion along or just going to do short opinions not backed up by anything?

@Adam

Hmmmm. Well if you want numbers, at the end of the Obama administration more Americans had health care than ever before. Trump likes this number so I’ll use it, the stock market was the highest it’d ever been. Median household income was at the highest level ever. Unemployment had dropped below 5%. GDP was highest ever. Number of employed highest ever. Crime near historic lows.

So there’s absolutely no evidence Sneaky?

First, during 6 years of Obama’s eight year term in office the Republican’s controlled Congress. Second, could you please specify the policies implemented that positively impacted the majority of middle class households? Third, could you deal with the CA example in the OP?

Bottom up works.

What does that mean? Importing as many impoverished citizens from Central and South America, and from all over the world as possible? They would represent the bottom, right?

The government creates the environment to build roads. Eminent Domain is not a private sector tool, for example

The “government” is nothing without a strong private sector economy. That’s why all can’t simply make all their citizens lives wonderful.

I gave examples of economic improvements and health insurance improvements under Obama’s administration as an example of improvements for the middle class in an attempt to add to the discussion.

The ACA helped some in the middle class and hurt some.

Correct, it’s a balancing act. Leave the things of state to the state and vice versa. The private sector has been trying too much to take over the government’s role the last 50 years.

A strong private sector can’t happen without an effective government.

It’s a virtuous cycle.

Just like why trickle down doesn’t work…because the idea that the wealthy create jobs is a myth.

A virtuous cycle creates jobs.

Never said they were.

Evidence they are better for middle class? There is none!

Excellent point! Unstable governments do not bode well for economic stability.

@Hawk92

The same Obama admin with the demo carts that were pushing polices and agendas that would hurt middle class families along with the Paris accord,carbon taxes.

Demonstration cartridge?

@WuWei

Of democrat policies? Absolutely not. Libism is death to the US economy and only serves to create dependence on the central government.

Have you seen anything in this thread addressing my OP?

[WuWei]

Not much.

[Scratch]

Are Democrats anti union like Republicans are?

@EternalVigilance

Harris/Biden’s platform is designed to crush economic growth and the middle class.

Designed intentionally? Like they’re conspiring to crush economic growth and the middle class?

Just trying? I would say they’ve had massive success. They own most of the politicians in Washington

@JayJay

The problem is we aren’t seeing “Democratic policies” in action.

Really? Exactly what policies are governing CA?

[Eagle-Keeper]

@PurpnGold

Trickle down economics DOES NOT WORK. Bottom up works.

I assume a very liberal state like CA must be utilizing this bottom up approach, right?

@Hawk92

Yeah problary because most of local crimes dont get reported by the mainstream news media for agenda reasons i am sure crime was super low in Chicago to right?

do you think the FBI gets their crime stats from the local news?
