Age-old political question:

 

Are we better off today than we were 4 yrs ago?

          - This day/month in history...

 

Lots and LOTS of stuff to cover, but I'll begin with this:

 

Italy announces it is locking down the whole country
due to a spike in COVID-19 cases with 10,040 cases
and 630 deaths

 

Apr 6 Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
announces state of emergency in seven prefectures
and a nearly $1 trillion stimulus package
as COVID-19 cases climb

 


USA, April 09, 2020 - Trump/republicans hold the White House...

America is in the deadly grips of a highly infectious
new virus which unfortunately had been "downplayed"
by Trump and his accomplices through February and
early March 2020...

 Go back five years & the answer is.....absolutely not.

 Ridiculous to start a thread comparing conditions now vs. under a pandemic. The Gov. of WA locked the state down.

US has approximately 13,000+ boots on the ground  in an active combat zone in Afghanistan -- a war the republicans had dragged us into 20 years earlier....

In the manly sport of football we play  FOUR FULL QUARTERS to assess the outcome, much like a US presidency has FOUR FULL YEARS under his command and control for historians to assess that outcome.

In both cases we wait to see the result after  ALL FOUR are complete.

We do not ignore the 4th quarter results and point to the score at the end of the THIRD quarter because we like those better.

That number in harm's way was actually an INCREASE by trump from where Obama had left it by about 50%...

@KellyM_1964

 The answer is  ZERO obviously. an_clap   Every intelligent person knows this. 

Biden hasn't *STARTED* any....much less with actual combat troops on the ground in daily combat, like the republicans did 20 years ago....

At the moment he is participating by proxy only in a war against international terrorism *STARTED* by Putin....and I applaud the effort as do MOST Americans!....but STARTED no boots-on-the-ground active combat wars.  Thinking that is just ignorant....
