[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP has some stereotypes in her post that aren't quite accurate.

But, I will say that when voters compare Biden and Trump, they find that Biden's policies have largely benefited high income earners and not so much the poor and middle class.

His push to redistribute student loan payments benefits mostly advanced degree upper income earners while saddling the middle class with the payments.  Likewise, the subsidies for EVs benefits the wealthy.  Few middle class/poor can afford or choose to buy EVs.  There are many other examples.

And, inflation has not helped.  While the rate of inflation has slowed, prices have not decreased.

I feel so exasperated when people blame the Administration for inflation.  We do not have socialism or communism here, so the government has very little to zero impact on what you are being charged for say, milk.  It is not "news" that corporations use any excuse to increase prices and then are reluctant to bring them down.

I remember a while back, all my vendors adding gas and fuel surcharges to invoices.  That did not magically disappear when gas prices came down.

I understand not wanting big government, government interference, government price fixing, or (gasp) SOCIALISM but then don't b* tch when corporations charge whatever they want and pass the revenues on to share holders and overpaid CEOs.  That is the American way![/quote]
