Just another step in downfall of a nation…

Here's an example: My husband and I used to eat out about twice a week, but in the past few months, we've tapered off to once every two weeks or less, and we eat in less expensive restaurants. I used to LOVE eating out, but the prices at our favorite restaurants have inched up so high that they don't seem worth it any more. Prices are going up. Trump said he'd "cure" inflation, and he's making it infinitely worse. A vacuum cleaner I paid $550 for in January now costs $700, just a few months later! I've pretty much stopped buying anything except food and other necessities because I see prices inching up. My friends all feel the same, even though we have stable incomes and plenty of savings. I remember feeling like this in 2008, as the Great Recession started. It began slowly, and then accelerated. Right now feels that same way. Ominous. My restaurant example is very small, but multiplied by 350 million Americans.... The recession has started, folks, completely caused by Trump and Project 2025, and we the middle class are going to pay dearly. The destitute will pay with their lives.

It’s basic facts.
With illegal immigrants being rightfully kicked out of the Country, and with every anchor baby about to lose their forged citizenship, there are tons of open jobs, so the idea that the labor market is contracting goes against economic theory out there.
This is ignoring the fact that the wonderful tariffs are seeing companies rushing to re-shore jobs in the US, which also clearly tracks against this “statistician’s” fake estimates.
Thank god we have a president willing to call out these frauds, rather then just sit back and watch as the democrats and their fascist goons try to manufacture the great depression 2.0 just because Trump and the republicans are freeing their illegal immigrant slaves from their shackles.
I see you’re too stupid to even understand your boyfriend’s promises. Trump said that birthright citizenship would end going forward not that “every anchor baby would lose their forged citizenship “
And way to move the goal posts. Trump campaigned on bringing back high quality, paying jobs not for Americans to get the pleasure of doing the jobs that illegal immigrants currently do. I don’t think that people on Appalachia want to pick crops and clean hotel rooms. They wanted the high paid manufacturing jobs he promised. Despite the usual lies the number of factory jobs have actually decreased under Trump so the tariffs aren’t bringing anything back.
That’s phase 1. Immediately stopping the bleeding.
Phase II is where the real work will come. A full audit of citizenship and the immediate detention and expulsion of every illegal immigrant falsely granted citizenship under the misconstrued interpretation of so-called “birthright citizenship.”
And honey, we have maintained a 25% unemployment rate since 2008 (https://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts).
Just because you, personally see yourself above doing your own dishes or grow a garden on your own, let alone put in the hard work necessary to work in a dish out or out in the fields does not mean that there are not millions of unemployed citizens currently celebrating their ability to return to the workforce.
You are too deep in the hole to debate., I hope your family has success deprogramming you if and when this is all over.
They’re seriously using shadowstats to support their ridiculous 25% unemployment rate claim?![]()
That’s 1 in 4 jobless. That’s the same rate as the peak of the Great Depression, in 1933. A sustained rate like that lasting 17 years would have caused widespread starvation and civil unrest.
I don’t think there’s any hope of deprogramming this level of delusion.
What other accurate measure of unemployment would you suggest that accurately measures the long-term disassociated unemployed then?
And have you not been watching the last 17 years, are you so stuck in your upper class, liberal bubble you are unable to comprehend what is going on around.
Have you just ignored the fentanyl crisis? The millions of proud, working class Americans dying deaths of despair off of a monstrous drug forced into the country by the same monsters stealing their jobs, and supported by liberals decriminalization and defund the police.
Are you ignoring the widespread civil uprests 2020? The mass starvation and civil unrest you claim doesn’t exist describes the daily life of most working class Americans.
As it relates to the fentanyl crisis, most of that is manufactured in china and distributed by the aryan nation.
The civil unrest from 2020 came from cops killing black people in cold blood without repercussion.
What is the GOP solution for unrest and mass starvation? They are cutting social safety net programs and unleashing a gestapo-like force on to the country. How do either of those address the issues?
Yes, the Aryan Nation may distribute some fentanyl, but that is ignores the fact that the vast majority of fentanyl is shipped directly from China to Mexican where the Drug Terrorist Organizations traffic it over the border utilizing illegal immigrants.
Where it is sold to our working class who are dying deaths of despair due to widespread unemployment that has not improved since 2008 (except for a brief period between 2016-2019 where Trump’s economic policy brought widespread re-employment).
And no, the 2020 riots used the unfortunate overdose of a career criminal as an excuse to riot over their lack of economic stability, and the oppressive lockdowns that were continuing to disassociate our working class.
The answers are very clear. First, we need to reinvest in proven technologies and re-shore manufacturing through tariffs. We also need to forcibly remove illegal immigrants and make sure the millions of illegal aliens that mistakenly were considered citizens due to the clearly incorrect interpretations of the 14th amendment are forcefully removed.
Then, you need to reform the welfare system to increase labor participation. What we’re meant as short-term aid for those temporarily unemployed have ballooned to permanent programs. Cap all welfare programs to a maximum term of one month at a time, and one year over the course of an individual’s life. Get people working. If you lose your job, get a few weeks of food stamps, Medicaid, etc until you get another job. But do not allow them to just sit on their ass doing nothing.
The cartels have their own ships, planes, tunnels and even submarines. They don't need illegal immigrants. That's low level stuff. Enough fentanyl to OD every person in the USA would fit in the back of a pickup truck. You have no sense of reality at all about this issue.
