Right. But it would also be nice to have a poverty measure (supplemental!) that strips out food stamps (& other welfare-like benefits) so we can see if the underlying economy is failing the poor. Making people non-poor with government benefits is only a secod-best solution no? https://t.co/qVw8EGb0QL

The trouble with this line of attack (aside from O’care being popular) is that the first 3 Trump years were v-good years for the economy (including wages) and are remembered as such-despite the broken promises.

Yes. Biden isn’t even trying. He’s closer to doing the opposite. Trump’s policies (like Remain in Mexico) eventually worked, despite those tectonic forces of technology and demography. https://t.co/LGh8u5KzXw https://t.co/Wgh871Cuea
