The dow also closed all time highs under Biden but as many folks have pointed out, the stock market is not the economy. But if you want to showcase that you don't understand economics, keep on going so we can make fun of you!

Wait. What? The Dow closed at an all time high? I thought we were doomed? Hello 51K, you look marvelous.

Facts don’t care about your feelings.

It’s not feelings, I actually paid $1,000 for a nice dinner. I had to call 90 days in advance to get a reservation. We flew to graduation on a completely full plane. The hotel we were in was sold out. Our last stop at the bookstore cost me $600. Parents were all buying $100+ shirts. I waited in a line of at least 30 people to pay for our college gear. Our child started their job 4 days after graduation. They actually fly out tomorrow for a week long vacation with their friends. All of their friends have jobs lined up. Most people on this forum are just like us.

Here, someone drew you a picture since you’re still not getting it.

Inflation highest in 3 years. It’s Biden’s fault again.

War is Biden’s fault.

Gas prices are Biden’s fault.

But his family making billions is all on him and his corruption.
