Before you take the word of Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans on how awful our economy is under President Joe Biden, here are some facts you can look up. In January of 2009, the Obama/Biden administration began. The unemployment rate was at 7.6%. They left office in January of 2017, and were replaced by Trump. The unemployment rate was 4.8%.

Four years later Trump left office and Biden came in. The unemployment rate was 6.3%. In January of this year, after three years of the Biden administration, the unemployment rate is 3.7%.

So, who has done a better job with the economy?

Chuck Coiner, Tigard
