    If democrats sweep November elections, nonpartisan  Moody analytics anticipate stronger economic recovery with more economic growth and job creation than a republiclan sweep.  Also Goldman Sachs expect higher S&P earnings.  Increase in government spending fueled by increased tax revenue would boost economic growth and help offset headwind from higher tax rates.  New trade policy would support corporate profits according to Business insider.  According to nobel economist Klugman, Biden economic policies are credible while Trump's aren't.

    Another modern record for the trump-regime...

    A blue wave of Democrats come November may be good for economy: Goldman Sachs

    Goldman Sachs thinks a blue wave of Democrats — meaning full control of government via the presidency (Joe Biden), Senate and House — come November could be good for the U.S. economy.

    Doubts about trade deal with China

    On trade, 62% of executives said their businesses suffered from unfair trade
    practices in China.
    Yet a greater percentage -- 78% -- say the Trump administration's
    policies made US-China relations worse!

    Trump imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of exports from China
    to get the world's No. 2 economy to reform its trade tactics.
    The two nations reached a Phase One trade agreement in late 2019.
    Yet China is not living up to its promise to ramp up purchases of US goods,
    especially agricultural and energy products. Just 21% of business leaders
    said the Phase One deal positively impacted their business.

    Fed chairman warns of economic tragedy
    hours before Trump ends stimulus talks

    Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell all but implored Americans to
    social distance and wear masks to help get Covid under control.

    "A second wave of coronavirus could more significantly limit economic activity,
    not to mention the tragic effects on lives and well-being," Powell said.
    "Managing this risk will require following medical experts' guidance,
    including using masks and social-distancing measures."

    And he said Congress must pass a massive new stimulus measure.

    A few hours later, Trump said he would halt stimulus negotiations until after Election Day
    and require the GOP led Senate to instead focus on confirming another Conservative
    to the Spupreme Court immediately!

    Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell
    urged Congress on Tuesday
    to pass a robust stimulus,

    saying that providing inadequate support would weaken the recovery from the coronavirus
    recession while “overdoing it” would only strengthen the rebound.

    “Too little support would lead to a weak recovery, creating unnecessary hardship
    for households and businesses,” Powell said in a speech at a virtual annual meeting
    held by the National Association for Business Economics. “Over time, household
    insolvencies and business bankruptcies would rise, harming the productive capacity
    of the economy, and holding back wage growth.”

    Meanwhile, he said, there’s little downside to passing a relief package
    that some (GOP led-Senate) may view as excessive.

    “Even if policy actions ultimately prove to be greater than needed,
    they will not go to waste. The recovery will be stronger and move faster
    if monetary policy and fiscal policy continue to work side-by-side to
    provide support to the economy until it is clearly out of the woods.”

    Another 840,000 Americans filed
    for unemployment benefits last week

    New York (CNN Business)

    Claims for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance stood at 464,437.
    PUA is targeted as those workers who aren't eligible for regular benefits,
    such as the self-employed.

    Together, regular and PUA first-time claims stood at 1.3 million last week,
    on an unadjusted basis.

    trump's epic failure with the pandemic response
    is partially to blame for
    the loss of 107,000 oil and gas jobs.
    Most aren't coming back anytime soon


    New York (CNN Business)
    The oil and gas industry is laying off workers at an unprecedented pace to cope
    with a pandemic that crashed energy prices and raised doubts about the future
    of fossil fuels.
    A staggering 107,000 jobs vanished from the US oil, gas and chemicals industry
    between March and August 2020, according to an analysis published this week by
    Deloitte. That's the fastest rate of layoffs in the industry's history -- and it doesn't
    even include the untold number of people on furlough or taking pay cuts.
    The vast majority of those energy jobs are unlikely to return anytime soon.

    The US debt is now projected
    to be larger than the US economy

    As a share of the economy, the estimated 2020 deficit is more than triple
    what the annual deficit was in 2019. And it's the highest it has been
    since just after World War II.
    "Debt is the size of the economy today, and soon it will be larger than
    any time in history," CRFB president Maya MacGuineas said.

    The problem with such high debt levels going forward is that they will
    increasingly constrain what the government can do to meet the country's needs.
    Spending is projected to continue rising and is far outpacing revenue.
    And interest payments alone on the debt -- even if rates remain low --
    will consume an ever-growing share of tax dollars.

    Another huge round of airline losses is coming

    New York (CNN Business) The second quarter was the worst financial hit in the history of
    the airline industry. The third-quarter results won't be much better.
    US airlines reported combined losses of $12 billion in the second quarter, excluding special
    items, as revenue plunged 86% from the prior year. And analysts are forecasting that losses
    will come to about $10 billion in the just-completed third quarter.
    Delta Air Lines (DAL) will kick off the flood of red ink on Tuesday when it reports results.

    (All occuring on trump's watch)

    This is all because of corona and the democrat governor shutdowns. 

    Literally nobody besides severely misinformed people think any of this is because of Trump.

    nope   

    job losses are significantly because of poor government response to the pandemic including adequate stimulus

    just like here

    Yes.  Despicable.

    Millions are hurting because of trump and yet, rather than making a deal, he calls off talks so he can ram through an ultra conservative who he believes will grant him a contested election -- regardless by how many votes Boden wins.

    He also wants Barrett to strike down AFA as part of his "scorched earth" policy when he loses.

    For months, the president applauded China’s coronavirus response before he and
