The question I ask..... how unlivable will our country be with another 4 years of the Biden administration?
And, I say "administration" because I don't think Biden will last another 4 years, but the people he has in decision-making positions will be.
They all have to go.

How were you better off four years ago?

Our finances were markedly better.
Gas was more affordable as was food, automobiles, and many other goods.
We weren't as impacted by the regulatory machine that is the Biden administration.
And, we had far fewer illegal migrants residing in our area.
Our tax dollars weren't going to subsidize the education of college students who took loans and don't want to pay them back.
And, as a nation - we were safer. Biden's fecklessness has emboldened our enemies. And it all started with the Afghanistan withdrawal.

If your finances were better four years ago that sounds like a you problem. And none of that other stuff really affected you.

Can you say specifically why you were better off, or is it just "your feelings?"

I like when republican tells that his life was affected by illegal immigrant (like his daughter was raped and killed by Jose Ibarra who was allowed to US by Biden administration) and Democrat comes to tell us that none of that really affected you. Dah. Thank you for splaining, Lucy.

There is nothing in the previous post about "feelings".

I like it when Democrats are told "shut up and sit down you POS commie" when they tell you how their lives were affected when their kid was killed in their elementary school in a mass shooting because of our shitty gun laws. /s

That's the problem... there's nothing in the previous post about feelings or much of anything else, just "I was much better off."

As for me, 4 years ago I was thinking I'd still be working til 70. Now I'm thinking I might be able to retire at 63 and not even have to worry about collecting social security until much later.

Good grief.
When Trump tried to shut down flights from areas in which the pandemic was growing, he was called xenophobic by the left.
Don't try to rewrite history.
And, a reminder.... more people died under Biden. And, that was AFTER a vaccine was made available. And, many of those who died were vaccinated.
And, it was the LEFT and the Democratic governors who kept their economies and schools shuttered for lengthy periods of time.
The red states that opened early fared just fine and actually fueled the recovery.

And it isn't just COVID:

I stand by my assertion.....

https://nypost.com/2022/07/05/red-states-recovered-faster-from-covid-pandemic-than-blue-states-report/

Republican-run states such as Florida, Texas, Utah, and the Carolinas enjoyed a swifter economic recovery from the pandemic compared to Democratic-leaning states which saw residents and companies leave for lower-tax havens, according to a report.

Federal data shows that red states have seen their share of total US jobs grow beginning in February 2020, a month before the start of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The Journal cites statistics from the Brookings Institution which found that GOP-run states added 341,000 jobs in the last two-and-a-half years.

During that same period, blue states lost some 1.3 million jobs.

States with Republican governors are leading the recovery from the Covid-19 economic shock, complicating President Joe Biden’s push for a new sweeping infusion of federal aid.

Of the 15 states that have returned to pre-pandemic levels of economic activity, 12 are led by Republican governors, Federal Reserve data shows. Of the 10 states reporting the lowest levels of activity since January 2020, seven — including New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois — are run by Democratic governors.

Red states have bounced back from the economic havoc wreaked by the COVID-19 pandemic faster than states run by Democrats, according to a new report.

Citing federal data and an array of studies, The Wall Street Journal reported that Republican-led states are "winning" the economic recovery in several measures.

The Journal pointed to a Brookings Institution analysis of Labor Department data showing that red states have added 341,000 jobs since February 2020, the month before shutdowns began, while blue states were still down 1.3 million jobs as of May of this year.

Another study by Moody's also confirmed the flight from blue states, showing the states that grew the most in population were nearly all red, starting with Florida, Texas and North Carolina. The states that saw the largest number of citizens flee were almost all blue, with California at the top of the list, followed by New York and Illinois.

Wrrongggg

Red states "had the biggest recovery" because they took the biggest hit and had more to recover FROM.

Just more FOX spin there...

Things got better for us during the second Obama administration and have been steady since. But we have been very lucky and got a house at the bottom of the market. Combined with my paranoid Great Depression-esque attitude towards saving and we have a stable situation.

Not a fan of fascism and will vote accordingly.

Better off. Make more money and DH has a less stressful job.

Yes much better off. Dark depends Brandon has destroyed this country.

Aside from losing the protection of my rights throughout the US, my family is doing well. Our small business has more than quadrupled in revenue. Our commercial real estate investments are kicking. Home value is up 50%. We have less anxiety about the future. Life is good.

I will say that I am in much better shape today. 4 years ago I struggled to carry $100 in groceries in from the car. Now I can do it easily with one hand.

And apologize for saying “illegal immigrant”. I think “newcomer” is the preferred word.

If you're better off than you were four years ago, you're probably an illegal alien.

I'm better off, financially and personally. I was born in the US 57 years ago.
