They better be ready to pull themselves up by the bootstraps when they retire then. Personal responsibility, amirite? Plus Trump will eviscerate social security and Medicare if he is elected. The pot will be too small once he puts through another tax cut. Hope MAGA enjoys. |
This. It isn't Biden's fault people aren't saving money. And the GOP will undo Social Security leaving old people to eat cat food while living on the streets. |

Why is he draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserves?
To lower fuel prices to buy votes. Why is he paying off student debt? To buy votes. |

Why is ha attacking Israel?
To buy votes... in Michigan |
Yes, helping Americans is buying votes, but taking the money for yourself is groovy. |
Yes, yes. Helping Americans by dumping MORE debt on income tax payers. |
Economy performed better under Trump. That’s exactly what Biden’s problem is. Point is, you asked how people can afford vacations. My response is that in reality, many of them can’t. |
They have less money to save when Biden’s inflationary policies cause groceries and other valuable goods to rise so steeply in price. Stop gaslighting! |
If Biden's policies were inflationary beyond the global norm, then inflation would be worse in the US than other countries. In fact, inflation in the US is better than most countries, so maybe it isn't Biden's policies? Think about it rather than blindly blaming the guy you don't like. |
25% increase in national debt skyrocketing unemployment cratering economy Sure, Trump was awesome.

Sorry. To ignore how great things were prior to the pandemic proves you are just a partisan hack. https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-happened-to-the-economy-under-trump-before-covid-and-after-11602713077 |
The Titanic was an awesome cruise until it wasn't. It is reality. And, the Trump economy didn't benefit everyone. It was on the same trajectory as the Obama economy if you look at the longer term charts. All he did was goose the stock market with the tax cuts. No infrastructure investments No other government investments in the people who work and actually manufacture and produce things. But plenty of profits in real estate and hedge funds. |
I guess it depends on what you mean by most. Take all the countries in the world, and yes it's most. But the vast majority of those are emerging market countries and some are very small. Here are some more peer countries where inflation is lower than the U.S.: China, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Ireland, Germany, France, UK, Korea, Spain, Canada, Sweden, Netherlands, Spain, and Greece. You need to lose this talking point as it is misleading. Who is overjoyed that our inflation rate is less than that in Argentina and Zimbabwe? https://gfmag.com/data/economic-data/worlds-highest-lowest-inflation-rates/ |
And the U.S. recovered faster and has performed better than any of those other developed countries. https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/the-us-economic-recovery-in-international-context-2023 So which is it? Worse recovery and lower inflation? Or what we have now? You can't have both. Of course, you'd be wining about the slow recovery, lower inflation AND high unemployment post-pandemic if Biden hadn't acted. |
