It is becoming increasingly clear that tens of millions of Americans look back longingly at the Trump economy of 2019. The events of 2020 have been somehow erased from their brains. It is incumbent on Biden and his friends to jog their memories.
But simply attracting attention to Trump’s unsavory past isn’t enough; he needs to be asked about his vision for the future, and how he plans to get there. How, exactly, does he think he can bring back 2019? Won’t massive tariffs cause inflation? Where will we find the workforce to staff all of the new manufacturing plants he wants to see, given the current unemployment rate, particularly in light of his plan to deport millions of workers? How can we afford another tax cut, given the current deficit? Why does it make sense to invest in dying rather than growing industries? And so on.
