. Millions of jobs were lost – some for good. Unemployment still sits at 6.7% despite some improvement in recent months, with communities of color hit hardest.
Now, as part of the promise of President Joe Biden, we will get through the pandemic and renew our economic strength in turn: another Democrat fixing a Republican mess.Older voters will recall that President Jimmy Carter became the favorite Republican punching bag after his four years in office ended in economic calamity.

MichaelGordonUS Same as in the U.K. yet many people insist one of the Conservatives’ strengths is how they handle the economy. They see Labour spending on public services but don’t join the dots as to why they have to.
