Need I mention inflation.
Are you better off today? Is Trump a known quantity? Is it his personality? Do you know that a convicted felon is spending every minute with the President (in WH) as we speak? Is he privy to secrets? Does he have his own interests in mind. Money!?!?
Discount what your socialist buddies on the forum want, as they want other people's stuff. The Billionaires' stuff (all 1000 of them!!!!). Think about getting yourselves wealthy. Catch the train.

Yes, I am, and so are a lot of other people. Ask the tens of thousands of construction workers who now have good paying jobs thanks to Bidens infrastructure package, the American soldiers who are NOT dying in Afghanistan when Biden decided to end America's involvement in our nation's longest war, and the many college students who will enter the workforce with good paying jobs, who are not financially crippled by student loans. This may shock you Joe, but people who work for a living are not socialists, despite your desperate attempts to brand them as such.

@mchill saidYou left out how the 'buying power' (everything has risen in price, up by 22😵 percent) has eroded the spendable income of those people you speak of. It is a fair question for me, Avjoe, to apprise you fellers of mtg rates which are beyond the reach of those people you speak of.

So, rail on abut what you consider money which goes farther than it did under TrumP??!!??!?
I will thus rephrase: Hey, (the) Average Jane and DIck, does your money go as far as it did when Trump was president?
It is like pulling teeth. No matter what we say. When a vote was taken of the war room about whether to go after Binb Laden, Biden was the only guy who voted NO. Your man who will save our country is what I call 'risk adverse'. So I say this fact to you, a lib on the Forum, and you will not acknowlede his weakness. You little lock-step feller.
@mchill saidYou are being disingenuous, as everything is costing more to those people. No way you or they are better off as average people. Investors and entrepreneurs in various sectors could be better off.....ie. if they are diversified in the market. I am diversified, in the market.
Are you better off today?
Yes, I am, and so are a lot of other people.
But Biden needs to concentrate on Dick and Jane, don't you think? They are not in the market,
Is that not who you are talking about? If you are talking about the not-average american, then my apologies. Tell us who you are talking about in order to have a meaningful discussion.

HINT...he has been lying to you...now you look foolish repeating those lies
@AverageJoe1
Climate change poses an existential threat to our children and grands. Under the current conservative, right wing SCOTUS, personal freedoms have been damaged and efforts to control climate change have been thwarted. Regulatory agencies have been trashed so it's now "let the buyer beware" when purchasing drugs and food.
Vote for the left if you care about freedom and the environment.

1. That figure is closer to 18%
2. You seem to think the President has some magical control over consumer buying power - he doesn't. Consumer buying power is dictated by macro-economic conditions at any given time, not the President. I've included a short course on the subject below updated on July 4th - please read and learn.

Imbeciles.
Sorry. The cost of living has sky rocketted all over the world. What the US is feeling is an international trend.
If trump gets elected, the possibilities of responsible measures decline, as everything will flow upwards towards the people who own, rather than towards those who produce.
Really. Sometimes you people are too stupid to be called human.
Your hatred of democrats, socialism and internationalism has sent you down a rabbit hole, so deep, you’ve got each other’s noses stuck in each other’s arses, and you can no longer observe anything other than each other’s shhit.
It’s the only explanation possible.

None of those, if true, are due to Trump being in the White House.
@Suzianne saidI'd guessed at 1000 billionaires. Actually, There are only 756 of them. Do you think we can tax them enough to raise the cash to keep you and other dependents up? .... The people who receive or HAVE received money and benefits from the government?? We conservative republicans can 'only guess' as to who on the Forum has actually received money from the government.
Just. Stop. Lying.

Hmmmmm,,,,,so how did you know that Trump's signature was imprinted on the checks? I will cogitate on who I think has received money earned by other people. Hmmmmm, let me think 🤔
