According to the CBO, the GOP senate reconcillation bill blows the budget by another 71 billion over the next 10 years.

Fiscal restrain and conservatism, right?

How so?

We knew that the economy was in the hands of an adult cleaning up the COVID and supply chain mess left by Trump.
Employment was growing, the economy was growing and things had stabilized.

Totally the opposite of where we are now.


The economy had nowhere to go but up. Thankfully Trump fast tracked vaccines.

What was your 401k value four years ago?

What was your salary.

What was the value of your home?


DP: People without jobs don't have salaries, 401Ks, or homes. In the U.S., 7.2 million people (over 4%) are currently unemployed.

Further, do you understand that in the U.S., about 60% of employed Americans are hourly workers who don't have a "salary" or guaranteed schedule of work hours let alone a 401K, and an additional 10-13% of non-salaried workers are gig workers. As for home value, 42.5 million households in are renters, and half of them spend over 30% of income on rent with nothing left for a retirement plan.


1. They don't care
2. Their attitude is "your 401k goes up every year regardless of who is president so shut up" and "your salary goes up every year regardless of who is president so shut up" and also "your home equity rises so shut up"

It is totally some rich MAGA shill


The question was “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”

It’s a simple yes or no question constantly being answered with political diarrhea of the mouth here.


A small segment of the population is better off. The vast majority are not.

The unemployment rate is half a point higher than 4 years ago.

That's not universally true. Houses are sitting, and there are fewer buyers. A house is only worth what someone is willing to pay to take it off your hands. House prices are dropping even in the DMV. Salaries are stagnant for the employed. Or maybe you have one of those enviable government jobs wherein you receive an automatic yearly promotion and COLA regardless of the economy and your productivity. The everyone else, that's not how employment and salaries work.

So in conclusion, Biden's economy was better for most folks than Trump's first term? Yes? 401k, home equity, salaries, all rose every year. Unemployment dropped substantially after the pandemic and inflation dropped too! Jobs increased!

Well then, I will keep voting Democrat! Thanks!!!

I'm sure voters will ignore high gas and food prices because their 401k is up. Great message for a campaign


My 401k increased under Biden every single year. So did my salary and home equity. So according to the PP, Biden's economy was unequivocally better than Trump's first term and because this happens continuously, every president is better than the last one.

They keep doubling down on this point and it is idiotic and unintelligent every single time.

But keep it up I guess, posts that basically say "shut up, your 401k is fine" is a winning strategy to push people from the Republican party!

Everything the PP posted is self inflicted.

There is no reason people should have been laid off, there is no reason gas prices should be up, there is no reason GDP should be down and there is no reason unemployment is up.

Hi,

Our HHI is lower after spouse got laid off and took 7 months to find a job which is lower paying.

During that time could not contribute to 401k

Savings took a dip

Care to comment on the job loss under Trump? He has been abysmal at jobs. US literally hemorrhaged jobs this past year except for in healthcare (which will soon be impacted given Medicaid/Medicare cuts).
