“While each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we believe that Biden’s overall economic agenda will improve our nation’s health, investment, sustainability, resilience, employment opportunities, and fairness and be vastly superior to the counterproductive economic policies of Donald Trump,” they wrote.
Elsewhere, they praised Biden for his science-based approach: “Throughout the coronavirus crisis, Biden has recognized that science-based, public health solutions are critical not only to saving lives, but to any viable strategy to restore economic confidence, recovery, and jobs. Similarly, on issue after issue, Biden’s economic agenda will do far more than Donald Trump’s to increase the economic strength and well-being of our nation and its people.” - PoliticusUSA

You can't fool economists. When government runs up the red ink in deficits, now about $7T in 4 years, during economic expansion, it's nothing more than a smoke screen. The economy is on government welfare and cannot sustain itself, i.e. tRump's economy is a sham.
