From Texas Dan:
Cherry picking the months before the inaugural versus the 45 months before for your data comp is dishonest. But enjoy your half empty worldview. And I suppose you understand the arc of inflation referenced was almost totally related to your boy Biden’s acts in year 1 of his administration.
My response…
First off, again, thank you so much for sending me an email with your feedback. I wish you had posted in as a “reply” to the post. I would have appreciated if others could have read and gathered information from it. So, I hope you don’t mind me posting your reply here along with my response. Hopefully, folks can hear more from each side to make informed decisions.
Sorry, the information in your reply is a bit off:
1. I used a date the day before Trump was elected for the baseline for local gas prices vs Trump now. So the Nov 19th was all Biden without the knowledge that Trump had been elected. Made it clear what the trend was between then (Biden) and now (Trump).
2. The gasoline national average was the day Trump was inaugurated vs Trump now. Made it clear, since it is a commodity, what the market was anticipating after Trump was elected and inaugurated compared to now, six months after Trump policies.
3. The unemployment data was a year earlier, June 2024 (Biden’s 3rd year), vs Trump now…six months into Trump’s policies. So all Biden vs all Trump.
4. As for inflation it was the last 5 months of Biden policies that had been in-place for 4.5 years and the first 5 months of Trump policies. The trends are clear, valid, and reliable…Biden policies vs Trump policies. Okay, the first month or so of Trump would/could have influence by Biden’s policies. But, that actually showed a down trend and I can reliably attribute any Biden influence so I didn’t indicate any.
5. And finally, there was no “cherry picking”. I used dates and time frames that I thought accurately represented data for each person and their policies. I am sure other people could pick and choose whatever dates they wanted. I tried to be objective and without bias…IMHO.
And for the record:
I voted for Trump 3 times. I am one of those supporters who got him into the White House twice and tried to the other time when he ran against Biden; had it not been for election interference/influence he would have made it. And I have stated that multiple times for years and years that I voted for Trump. AND, that I both recognized and I appreciate the good things he has done and is doing.
Your rather blatant attempt to insult, belittle, and discredit me with your “… your boy Biden’s…” comment is an emotional reaction…not based in fact, logic, reality, or evidence. I am sorry you stooped to that vs making a case with facts, figures, and evidence. And therein lies the exact problem I’ve been talking about for a long time…bias. However, I do recognize that Trump is a hot topic for many folks and I do recognize the emotional side of it. So, no personal offense taken; I hope none was intended.
I’ve used other terms such as “worshipers”, “boot-lickers”, etc. But I don’t think those apply to you at all and it would be totally inappropriate on my part to use those terms in your case. I am not sure why you don’t look at facts, figures, evidence, etc. and allow reality to guide you and your comments. But, that is your choice and I respect that. It is part of that hot topic, a divided America thing taking place…and getting worse.
The sad part is, we probably have far, far more in common than your emotions will allow you to accept. And we probably have the same goal(s) for our country…a strong Constitutional Republic guided by the rule of law, incorporating the ideals put forth in the Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately, we don’t have any politicians that can get that done…or restored. And that has been the case for at least 50 years or more now….probably more like 130 years. And TPTB want to divide the people to make us easier to control. Goes to the saying, “United we stand, divided we fall.” All the conflict, confusion, corruption, and chaos does an excellent job of dividing us.
I wish you all the best and hope you find what you are looking for not just in your personal life but in your political ideals as well.
Best,
AH
