MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell is joined by Yale Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld to discuss the latest evidence of the successes of Biden's economic policies. Sonnenfeld says Biden is having the strongest positive effect on the economy of any president since FDR.
What? The New Deal was hardly successful at getting us out of the Depression? It took World War II. Most of FDR’s presidency was over the Great Depression (he didn’t cause it). That’s hardly a successful economy.
The best Economic years of America were Eisenhower-Kennedy-LBJ followed by 6 or so years of Clinton. We might be finally getting back to Clinton good, but we’ll see.
Ok, just saw the clip. The blurb is misquoting the guy. He’s saying Biden’s had the best economic intervention since the New Deal. I’d argue that Biden’s covid relief and infrastructure and climate bills are the best Economic intervention by the elected Federal government since WWII and better than the New Deal.
