The economy

There was a global pandemic which killed 460,000 american lives from 2020-2021. This caused a global economy recession, which lead to rampant inflation. There was nothing that could have been done to cause this to stop. What we know is that USA has made the strongest economy comeback in the world, with 8.2% increase since 2020.

There needs to be a healthy balance of surplus/deficit to keep the economy going.
