As usual you are ill-informed and full of shit.

Biden economic achievements

President Joe Biden’s economic achievements are marked by robust job creation, rapid recovery from the pandemic recession, historic investments in infrastructure and manufacturing, improvements in wages and unemployment, and legislative actions targeting long-term growth and equity. Key accomplishments include:

Historic Job Growth: The U.S. economy added 16.6 million jobs during Biden’s presidency, the most of any presidential term, with sustained monthly job creation and the longest period of unemployment below 4% since the 1950s. Record-low unemployment rates were achieved for Black Americans, Latino Americans, women, veterans, and workers with disabilities.

Economic Growth and Productivity: Real GDP grew by 12.6%, outpacing all other G7 nations. American productivity and household wealth surged, especially for the working and middle classes.

Pandemic Recovery and Support: The American Rescue Plan provided broad-based relief, including stimulus checks, emergency health response, expanded unemployment, rental and homeowner support, and direct aid to businesses and local governments. These measures led to the fastest jobs recovery on record.

Wages and Income: Real wages and after-tax incomes rose, particularly benefiting low-income workers. By 2024, wage growth finally outpaced inflation, reversing the temporary erosions experienced during the high-inflation years of 2021–2022.

Small Business and Entrepreneurship: Americans filed a record 21 million new small business applications, with notable increases in Black and Latino business ownership. The administration doubled or tripled support for disadvantaged and minority-owned small businesses.

Child Poverty and Social Investments: A historic expansion of the Child Tax Credit brought the child poverty rate to its lowest in U.S. history in 2021. Major investments were also made in child care, education, and nutrition for families.

Healthcare and Insurance: Health insurance premiums were lowered or eliminated for millions, driving record-breaking coverage rates after the ACA was expanded and subsidies increased.

Infrastructure, Manufacturing, and Clean Energy: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act together represent over $4 trillion in investments aimed at rebuilding infrastructure, revitalizing domestic manufacturing—especially in semiconductors—and catalyzing the largest federal investment in clean energy and climate action in history.

Stock Market and Household Wealth: The stock market reached record highs during Biden’s term, boosting retirement accounts and net wealth. The S&P 500 delivered a total return of approximately 77% from inauguration through early 2025.

Long-term Industrial and Labor Policy: There was a surge in U.S. manufacturing construction, a strong pro-labor stance, and significant new protections for overtime compensation.

dbergh, Yeah Reagan's "trickle down" has been a tremendous success, eh. Joke.
For mine Biden's contribution has been much more positive.

Reagan was first elected in 1980, when the U.S. gross domestic product fell 0.3%, according to data from the World Bank. During his first year in office (1981) the GDP grew 2.5%, but during his second year in office the GDP declined 1.8%.

Based on those metrics, the Biden economy has fared better. When Biden was elected in 2020, the GDP was in the midst of a 2.8% retraction, according to Statista. During Biden’s first year in office (2021) the GDP rose by 5.9%. It kept growing in 2022, but at a slower rate of 2.1%.
