So, I asked a question in return.

Question: How much time does it take to burn down a large and complicated house?
1)

And how much time would it take to completely rebuild it?

It would take maybe an hour to burn down the house.

It would take at best 6 months to rebuild.

The same with an economy.
2)

Between 2021 and 2025, the Biden Administration seriously damaged the US economy. Mass, unchecked, illegal migration. Massive programs that spent trillions of dollars with nothing to show for it.
3)

U.S. funds going to Iran, to Hamas, to countries that got no benefit while their leaders became millionaires, and so forth added $10 trillion to the national deficit, forcing massive inflation (advertised as 9% but in many items affecting average Americans 15–28% inflation).
4)

An enormous number of new regulations that burdened business, slowed and discouraged housing construction, and the limits on oil and gas raised the cost of transport, which in turn increased the cost of everything we eat, buy, or use in the USA.

They burned down the house.
5)

And it will take some time to rebuild the house, and so far the new administration has been in power for less than 9 months, but active in setting the stage, gathering the materials, bringing in the investment, and beginning the building of that house.
6)

And it will take time to build.

Think about it."
