No Red Wave Trumpti-Dumpti flopped

TO THE EDITOR of The Bernardsville News, in New Jersey : 

No red wave' in 2022 election  Nov 16, 2022

Once again Trumpti-Dumpti's MAGA fake news creator Joe Occhiogrosso's in his Nov. 3 letter, “Pendulum finally swinging back to reality,” falsely implies that President Joe Biden and the Democrats are destroying the country."Not!"
President Joe Biden had a good night on November 8th.

In MAGAJoe's online comments, he says he is a trained economist. (Maine Writer opinion - well, I can read a balance sheet,but does that make me an accountant? ) 
Not sure about that, but his grasp of the facts is not good.

For example, who started 10 of the last 11recessions in this country? The Republicans. Every time, they cut taxes for the rich and foist trickle-down economics on us. The problem is, that ever since Ronald Reagan, that approach has been discredited by every major world economist.

MAGA Joe also claims to hate deficits and has no evidence to say that Biden is the worst. But he ignores the fact that every Republican president since Reagan blew up the federal deficit.

Regan increased the federal debt by 94 percent; Bush #1 by 67 percent; Bush #2 by 1,204 percent; and Trump by 317 percent.

And ascribing global, supply chain-driven inflation to Biden is ridiculous.
As far as oil prices, U.S. oil companies are simply taking advantage of high global crude prices by holding back on refining the huge supply of oil they already have stored.

Joe Biden saved the country from a severe depression caused by the pandemic. He also added millions of new jobs; jobs that had been lost by Trump. The highest job creators in the last 40 years have been Democrats and the lowest ones Republicans.

MAGA Joe’s prognostication for the political pendulum was 180 degrees off. Good thing.

There has been no red wave simply because common-sense voters see the reality of what MAGA Republicans want: a weakened democracy, diminished rights, fewer unions, less voting, along with new ways to embolden the rich, and enriching the MAGA rulers.

Aren’t you glad we are not heading to Joe O.’s reality? 
Obviously, Occhiogrosso is living in an altered political reality.
