Morgan Stanley Credits ‘Bidenomics’ for Economic Surge

That is quite the praise coming from a group of hardcore republicans. The is a clear message "Biden brings stability and financial markets like stability"

Also absolutely massive subsidies are flowing out of the IRA into a lot of diverse economic sectors for the purpose of fighting climate change. Estimated $1.3 trillion since it is uncapped and built largely around unit subsidies.
That is a lot of money flowing to a lot of firms. Republicans like money going to businesses.
- If that number is from the CBO it's a 10 year estimate, not as big as it sounds.
  And I don't think you have to decide Morgan Stanley is Republicans and Republicans like money going to businesses...Republicans voted against the IRA so that's probably incorrect. Morgan Stanley is a business and their customers are other businesses, that's one explanation.
  Or, the people working at Morgan Stanley are economists and the plan makes sense to economists so they praise it, that is another explanation.
To be expected, the GOP has gone all in on evangelism, election denial, and have shown willingness to throw their traditional business values under the bus for the sake of their lead issues. The "boring democrat" tends to business better than radicalized GQP. Notably, playing chicken with the national debt was a big no-no for business minded folks.
There may be a time when they will go back to the republican party hard, but will be waiting for the Trump/Greene/Boebert/Gaetz crazy to slip into not being influential.
Ironically, if the GOP had a wider victory in the house, I wouldn't have been surprised to see the GOP marginalize the most obviously crazy and win favor among the business community again. As it stands they are having to let the craziest faction call the shots.
- The Dems sliding to the right for 30 years has finally pushed the Republican Party halfway beyond the border of crazy town. The question is, after the Dems alone are the party of business, will they slide back to the left or stay conservative? And what would that look like?

What exactly is “Bidenomics”? What are the policies he has implemented? Non American here.

The White House has an article on the subject over here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/06/28/bidenomics-is-working-the-presidents-plan-grows-the-economy-from-the-middle-out-and-bottom-up-not-the-top-down/
- Cheers
- fwiw, it is also an "attack" from Republicans who claim the economy is a disaster. The Biden admin co-opted the term - similar to what they did with the "Dark Brandon" meme.

"Morgan Stanley is crediting President Biden’s economic policies with driving an unexpected surge in the U.S. economy that is so significant that the bank was forced to make a “sizable upward revision” to its estimates for U.S. gross domestic product, CNBC reports.

As a result of these unexpected swells, Morgan Stanley now projects 1.9% GDP growth for the first half of this year. That’s nearly four times higher than the bank’s previous forecast of 0.5%."

This is the whole article for anyone to lazy to click the link.

The average annual GDP growth is typically 2-3%. '21 was -2.77% & '22 was +5.95%. IMO the impact of COVID's coming and going probably has had more economic impact than any presidential action did. I don't see how we can fairly attribute or blame Biden for the economy in light of that.

I gotta disagree with you a bit here, and I'm gonna add some context as the article is garbage (probably intentionally given WSJ's known politics).
Biden kept the economic impact of student loans from hitting us during the COVID recovery period. He also advanced the Infrastructure Bill in 2021, which is a huge investment in both jobs and local construction efforts, and which we're now beginning to see the impact of.
Here in California, Jerry Brown championed a similar infrastructure effort in California, and it paid off tremendously for us - $6.5 billion budget surplus by the end of his 2nd term.
Secondly, another piece of landmark Biden legislation, the Inflation Act, passed last August, is beginning to have an impact - we've watched month to month inflation crater in the last few months from the highs of near 7-8% we had during the winter.
In summation, in my view Biden reversed and corrected the path laid out under Trump's GOP, including averting a trade war with China in the middle of a pandemic. He also managed to completely destabilize a major geopolitical threat (Russia) with minimal impact to our economy despite their control (or threatened control of) of a significant portion of the world's oil and grain supply.
Getting up to 4x the expected GDP at 2.9% is a triumph given the last couple of years. This is what a recovery looks like. If you're gonna blame Biden for the economy, you gotta give him credit too.
- I think you misunderstood my point, I wasn't say Biden has done good or bad. I'm unsure of where you got the idea that I was blaming Biden for the economy in my previous comment. My point was that we would expect to see a positive impact to the economy with COVID waning and because we can't see into the alternative reality where he did nothing we can't be sure that it was his actions that resulted in the outcome we see.
- Those inflation numbers have been insane. I honestly did not believe the could gracefully recover. I am still shocked by this. I also think we can absolutely attribute measure taken by this administration to have directly had impact on the success of the economy today. Even if those step are not just "don't be utterly incompetent" they have had an undeniably positive impact.
Holy shit, rich people might actually be realizing the economy depends on the rest of the people in the country?? I thought the day would never come
- That last paragraph was me editorializing not the article. The actual article is only the first two paragraphs. Yes the article is only two paragraphs. Sorry I got your hopes up.
- Yeah, no.
  They have realized it and are pivoting society back towards chattle slavery.

Someone wants a bailout

I'm sad Biden is getting an economic system named after him that he doesn't have much to do with just because he's president. But hey, I'll take it. Reaganomics is awful, and at least having a name for the opposite is nice. Bernienomics doesn't have the same ring to it

Bidenomics isn't the opposite of Reaganomics. If anything, it's more of the same.
- It's literally defined as build out from the middle and up from the bottom, how is that the same as trickle down? Or did you miss the part where it has an actual definition?
Bernomics
I'm almost positive that the name is Biden's idea, and his staff tried and failed to talk him out of it.
- 'The White House has dubbed this brick-and-mortar economic growth formula "Bidenomics," a phrase originally used by Republicans to jab the president, who co-opted the term as a badge of honor.'

- And you base this on what exactly?

I don’t want to hear shit about biden until he actually sides with striking workers, or actually cancels student debt, or federally legalizes weed, or does literally anything i voted for him for.

You'll continue to be sad until you learn how the US government works, and that a President is not a king.
But it should cheer you up that Biden pushed to the limits of executive authority on all of those things.
- You don’t need to be a king to do any of the stuff I mentioned.
"Best I can do is persecute asylum seekers."

Nice to see a reasonable person leading the US.

that dick catered with homophobes, racists, and big corporations throughout his entire career; he's not reasonable, he's an opportunist.
i wish the young could see what ultimately crappy shit he's done; but i guess this is the change that is needed.
- Please, sane rando on the internet, pray tell, what more intelligent things would you like to share without any context or citations of source?
- While I agree with you, at least he's behaving reasonably now. I don't like all his decisions but I do like that many of the decisions are being delegated as they should be, and would re elect him against either of the two R frontrunners in a heartbeat. That's not high praise, but I do think his administration is doing much better than I thought it would
  Edit: I'm surprised at the number of downvotes on the parent comment, they're not exactly wrong.
- People change over time. Are all of your viewpoints the exact same as when you first paid attention to politics?

So what is Bidenomics? I guess you could say it's 'doing fuck all' which the free market prefers anyways. Sure better than trying to impose a lot of socialist policies and tax hikes. I fail to see why the left would be pleased with this.

"Socialist", right.
I am curious are you or your parent religious? Did you attend church as a child? This is not a slight or some sort of insult I am simply curious.
If you were just going to rant about things you don't understand you would have been better off staying silent and not having people see how little you understand.
