Dear Friends, 

On this Martin Luther King Jr. day holiday we send along invitations to two upcoming events which do a deep dive into the very strong performance of the economy under Joe Biden, and the Democrats more broadly:  

Tuesday, Jan 25th 1230pm ET – The Biden Boom with Rob Shapiro.  Our long time collaborator Rob Shapiro joins us next week to discuss his recent, highly influential article in the Washington Monthly, “It’s A Biden Boom - And No One Has Noticed Yet.”  As Rob writes in the piece “President Biden and the Democratic Congress are set to preside over the strongest two-year performance on growth, jobs, and income in decades.”  It is a terrific article and will be a great discussion – hope you can join us! RSVP here. 

Friday, Jan 21st, 123opm ET – With Democrats Things Get Better – This Friday is the monthly showing of our signature presentation, With Democrats Things Get Better.  It’s a 25 minute data filled journey through American politics since the Cold War ended and a new political age began.  And what the data shows, not surprisingly, is that during this period when Democrats were in power the US had strong, sustained job and GDP growth, booming stock markets, rising incomes and wages; and when Republicans have come to power, we’ve had 3 consecutive recessions, two very severe, and debilitating deficits.  The fundamental contrast between Democratic growth and progress versus GOP recession and decline that emerges from the presentation is very stark, and critical to understanding where we are in American politics today.  You can learn more about the big arguments behind With Dems here, and sign up for the 123o pm ET Zoom-based presentation here.

Perhaps the most remarkable stat from the deck – of the 42 million jobs created in the US since 1989, 40 million – 95% - have been created with Democrats in the White House.

Feel free to invite friends and colleagues to either event – the more the merrier!

Best, Simon, Georgia and the rest of the NDN Team
