Calling what happened subsequently "one of the Greatest Economic Recoveries and Jobs Creation Presidential Terms of all time" is a huge exaggeration. The recovery was anemic. Obama and the Democrats did have the good sense to extend all the Bush tax cuts for two years, which was what a good Keynesian would tell you to do at the tail end of a recession. And to make the rate cuts permanent for all except high income earners. Too bad they didn't follow up with spending cuts once we were out of the woods and the economy was doing OK.
It ain't your daddy's Democratic Party any more though Tooms. The American Rescue Plan was overkill that busted the budget and kicked off inflation. Barrack Obama, Larry Summers and Jason Furman never would have proposed something like that, at that moment in time. Summers and Furman have said so.

The post-election relief rally in the stock market after it was known that Biden won was one of if not the greatest stock market relief rally in history. Because the forward-looking stock market investors knew a Dem Biden was not going to pull a Repub Hoover, Reagan, Bush2 or Trump and make all the worst decisions to exacerbate their Repub economic disaster. In all probability every job recovery and unemployment rate decline after January 20 was based on that same premise.
Thanks, Joe.
BTW, the same dramatic change of course reflection point recovery in the stock market, jobs creation and the end of GW Bush's Great Recession began within two weeks of Obama signing and passing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009. With virtually no Repub support. All Dems. Legislation, not simply sitting there waiting for a recovery that might not begin for another 4-5 years and not a matter of them simply saying, "But we're Democrats"! Legislation. Work. Doing Something. Not Doing Nothing or Doing Something Stupid.
And what followed was, as under FDR, Clinton, Biden and even Carter and JFK / LBJ, one of the Greatest Economic Recoveries and Jobs Creation Presidential Terms of all time.
If those things happen "no matter who is president" shouldn't it have happened at least once under a Repub president in the past 100 years or so? I mean, even due to random chance? Instead of not even once?

Seriously? Your School of Economics taught you that massive, historic job losses in the millions during Great (typically Repub) Economics Disasters are never really "lost" and that when recoveries and boom times are created (typically Dem. And note, they don't just "happen" nor are they "struck") thanks to real world efforts like legislation and new policies enacted, they were never really "gained"?
LOL. I'd ask for a refund of whatever you paid for those lessons if I were you. That is, unless they try to bamboozle you by floating different concepts than "pay" and "lessons" for that kind of event too.

Amazing, isn't it? But but but we saw crimes being committed for the first time ever since January 20,2021. On YouTube!
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz says more stores to close for security reasons.
July 19, 2022
https://www.seattletimes.com/busines...urity-reasons/
In a video posted on Twitter, Schultz said Starbucks is closing stores that are not unprofitable due to an uptick in safety-related problems including crime, homelessness and drug use in bathrooms. The company earlier announced plans to close 16 locations because of security issues.
This is just the beginning, and there are going to be many more, Schultz said. It has shocked me that one of the primary concerns that our retail partners have is their own personal safety.
Starbucks has previously said it will close locations in Portland, Oregon; Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
Oh, wait:
Starbucks accused by NLRB of union busting for closing 23 stores.
Dec. 14, 2023
https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/...sing-23-stores
The National Labor Relations Board is looking to force Starbucks to reopen 23 stores the coffee giant closed last year, accusing the company of shuttering the union and non-union shops as part of a union-busting effort.
Lolol.

The total number of non-farm jobs in February, 2020 when COVID struck was 152,371,000, and there are 157,087,000 now. That's during a period when the working aged population increased from 205,608,000 to 209,039,000.
The EihTooms School believes that GDP growth and employment growth are only correlated to the party of the president, and all data must be interpreted to the benefit of Democratic presidents. Trump deserves all the blame for job losses during a worldwide pandemic, and Ronald Reagan deserves all the blame for a recession that started during the Carter Administration. Barrack Obama and Joe Biden deserve sole credit for all gains in GDP and jobs coming out of recessions. Any any GDP growth or increase in jobs during the Reagan and Trump administration (pre-COVID) were just because of conditions created by President Carter and President Obama respectfully.
I'm more a Chicago School adherent myself.
DINO's, LOL.

Hey, on the flip side, 'tis good to see a Republican, embrace wanting to bang "LGBTQ pussy", even if it is a hypocrite like, Bridget Zielger...again, no judgement here!
I'm just worried, that with you exhibiting such "liberal values", you may have to turn-in your Repub conservative membership card...kkkK!

As for your so called "heroes", the "no nothing" DINOs, and the ousted, disgraced former speaker and the Repub "pink trickle" House, all of which are either gone, soon to be gone, or will be shortly reduced to "pink drips", isn't saying very much, when it comes producing meaningful and substantive governance, economics and jobs for Americans.
All this GREAT economic data, DESPITE, your "so called heroes", trying their utmost to thwart Biden's economic measures.
• 11 months positive job gains in a row
• better/stronger than expected November 2023 unemployment and job numbers. {ie. 19,000 more job created than expected}
• the lowest in 50 years as the US payrolls rise 199,000; jobless rate drops to 3.7%
• Unemployment rate the lowest since 1969
• US Inflation, hovering around 3%, is the lowest in 2-years
• 14 million more jobs created since Biden Took office, than the 6 million for the same period for Trump
Yeah, 20 million jobs, in a Biden run economy...just BOOK it!

LOL. I had to refrain from cracking myself up with laughter even as I wrote that little survey question. My god. How gullible would a sucker have to be to entertain such a ridiculous idea even in passing.
No. They did that because they were / are hoping to Thwart or, preferably, Reverse the economic gains, growth, jobs creation AND projected economic expansion revenue to balance the budget along the way that they know better than anyone else WILL occur due to typical Democratic Party Tax / Spend Policies and Stewardship even as such results have NEVER happened due to Republican Party Tax / Spend Policies and Stewardship. Not when you factor in the inevitable Great Repub Depression / Recession and Massive Repub Jobs Destruction that comes in the exact same Repub package.
It is irrefutable that any and every, statement, move, proposal and decision made by Repubs while a Dem is in the White House is not meant to improve anything. Anything. Not to improve business confidence, not to increase jobs creation, not to promote GDP growth, not to reduce unavoidable recovery inflation, not to make the border more secure, not to strengthen national security, not to reduce crime or killings, not to help balance the budget.
Nothing.
It is always and only meant to reduce the expected (especially by congressional Repubs, who know better than anyone) positive results of that Dem POTUS' economic philosophy, agenda, proposals, legislation, policies and stewardship. And, preferably, to totally reverse those results before the next election.
Uh, yeah. I did not and will never be gullible and stupid enough to raise my hand on that one.
