I think we should just get out of the way of people who want to create jobs. It isn’t up to the government to decide where the utility is; that’s up to the private sector. Just look a the history of central planning in the 20th century. A morass of economic chaos and environmental destruction.

When Obama came in gold was about $1000 an ounce; when he left it was $1300. And the dollar was much stronger under Trump than under Obama. It sold off last year on the reality of a Biden presidency.
You really should stop making up numbers that are publicly available.
Trolls can just make stuff up. Part of their charm.

In my perception this is what is happening in US and around the world:
-
One half of the American population dislikes globalism/internationalism/multilateralism. So do people in countries like UK, India, Brazil, Russia, Australia and many countries of EU etc. That constitutes close to half of the world population.
-
The best above lobby has to offer was Obama in 2008. Since then the acceptance of internationalist left is on decline. They still have power in many world capitals but that is because they have been active since last 100 years (around 1st WW).
-
The Washington consensus is shattered. Biden or for that matter Trump, cannot do a thing about internationalism without making one half of the world or American population unhappy. For example, canceling Pipeline will certainly not keeping Alberta happy.
-
The world leaders may not say on the face, but Biden will have hard time in presenting himself as a legitimate president and will be taken less seriously in several world capitals.
. Euro was 1.65 when he came and he managed to bring to parity. British Pound was close to 2 to a dollar.
if he was reckless Gold rally would never been stopped and Euro would already be reserve currency and we would be competing with Guetmala.
You have to look at where he started in 2009 and the policies already in place of $750B of Henry Paulson stimulus. $750B was big doze for shrinking economy in late 2008. Obama policies only took effect after 2010.

Lol, your proof is a chart that’s doesn’t even go back to 2008…
Just to be clear the USD and EUR haven’t traded at parity since 2002. Also, the USD was higher under Trump than Obama. Oh, and it was 1.3 EUR to USD when Obama took office in January, 2009 not your made up 1.65.
Narrative doesn’t match the facts. Plus, currencies are being cherry picked. Need to look at the dollar index. In any event, as marcus states the Euro was never 1.65 under Obama and the dollar strengthened under Trump.
Oh and that 750 billion was a forced loan. Most of the banks that took it didn’t need it.

it does to 15 years. you need to change bottom parameters. The stimulus that was unleashed at end of 2008 was already creating upward Trajectory of Gold. it only around 2014 that prices goes down.
Is it even possible to impeach someone who’s no longer in office? Can we go back and impeach other former presidents?
Apparently, they can’t.

Indeed it is. The dollar high against the Euro is before Obama is elected, let alone takes office.
And gold soars in Obama’s first years. It only collapses back after the Reps take congress and we get the Sequester.
Who cares about gold? Bitcoin for old people. So 1980s.
But since when do the Dems care about the Constitution?
The census is suppose to count permanent residents. Biden just ignored that.
non permanent residents also use services, pay taxes, etc. My guess is you need to know the # so all the math and modeling that is needed to run a country is accurate
Trump supporters are hoping for the good old days when only white make landowners could vote. Back then provisions allowed southern states to count slaves as 3/5 persons for purposes of apportionment in Congress (even though the slaves could not, of course, vote), expressly denied to Congress the power to prohibit importation of new slaves until 1808, and prevented free states from enacting laws protecting fugitive …
In Switzerland some women could not vote more than 30 years ago
Of course in SF anyone can vote as long as they are Democrats

LBJ:
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
Did you actually read the constitution?
Funny how LBJ did more for civil rights than any other President. And how Obama did nothing except the beer summit which backfired.
