Republicans keep repeating the refrain that they are good for the economy, and the Democrats are bad for the economy. My investments would say otherwise.

When I retired early from the federal government back in 2001, I received a lump sum pension payment. I immediately invested the monies. My first foray. During the Bush years from 2000 to 2008 my investments just kind of sat there doing nothing. then in 2008 the entire economy collapsed and so did my investments.

Barack Obama took over and had to bail the economy out. It took a few years in doing so. We bought a condo, in Arizona, in 2011, at a fire sale price. an added benefit was the fact that the Canadian dollar was worth more than the US dollar. By the time Obama left office, our investments had increased by almost 2 1/2 times.

Then came the orange haired guy. By the time he left, our investments had again decreased. Now, at the end of the Biden term, our investments have again shot up big time. We are already preparing for the next crash under Trump. I don’t know if we’ll take all our money out and put it under our mattress, but it might be a consideration.

 All I got for today.
