Yes folks and Citizens!

The most successful economic record in U.S. History has hit a new high!

Homelessness is at a new record high!

Bidenomics working so well, they keep forgetting to tell us that


All we hear is all the (possibly fake) highlights.

The Rent's STILL Too Damn High Too!! šŸ˜€

US homelessness up 12% to highest reported level as rents soar and coronavirus pandemic aid lapses



WASHINGTON (AP) ā€” The United States experienced a dramatic 12% increase in homelessness to its highest reported level as soaring rents and a decline in coronavirus pandemic assistance combined to put housing out of reach for more Americans, federal officials said Friday.

About 653,000 people were homeless, the most since the country began using the yearly point-in-time survey in 2007. The total in the January count represents an increase of about 70,650 from a year earlier.

The latest estimate indicates that people becoming homeless for the first time were behind much of the increase.

A rise in family homelessness ended a downward trend that began in 2012.

I'm going to pretend to be a conservative poster from 2018, ok?

Damn homeless people should just go out and get a job. They are drug addled perverts who don't want to work. Our economy is booming due to the greatest president of all time. If they want to work, there are plenty of jobs out there for them but they are just to lazy.

And that was wrong of course, the problem was much deeper than that just as it is today. Biden's economic leadership is just a small portion of the problem just as was Trump's and Obama's and Bush's leadership. The capitalist system we have lived under and many of us have lived comfortably for half a century is grinding to a screeching halt and there is no potus, R or D or independent that is going to stop it.

It would be much more helpful to just tax the rich more and the poor less. Let's say billionaires should be taxed at approximately the same rate as under the Eisenhower administrations, when the disposable income of the average blue collar worker (adjusted for inflation) was about 3 times greater than it is today.

There are plenty of jobs, it's just that there's a "I went to college I'm not getting my hands dirty" attitude. If they want to make a good living, be ready to sweat......or they can just sit on their pansy ass and whine.

I know.

First rule of negotiation, is always ask for a better deal than you're aiming for,
then the real offer looks like a compromise.

That's not how anything works. You dont pretend to care, and then when it's time to show you care you choose not to and instead point at others. You know who does that? Jerks and 8 year olds. Which one are you?
You think this has nothing to do with record spending, record inflation, driving peolle from their homes? Domestic policy 100% has something to do with that. Biden is on course to outstanding Trump (and everyone else), and would have by now if he had his way. Also, more vacation days, more Covid deaths, higher crime, more wars, and he's litterally about a month away from having his picture taken with someone flashing a swastika. Oh, and senior citizens are killing themselves at record rates. How much of that is normal to you,

Itā€™s beyond apparent we need to try something different.

The current and previous administrations have absolutely failed the American people while serving other interests.

And while Kennedy may be an option against the failed two party candidatesā€¦ Iā€™m not necessarily confident he could really fix the economy.

We need a Ron Paul like figure for that IMO.

Iā€™ve been looking for a new dentist. I look up their BBB and in our state we can look up court records.
There were many lawsuits for this one dentist. It was beyond sad. Almost everyone he was suing was in that spot where they were too poor for dental care, but too rich for help. Lots of garnished wages from welders, grinders, and those kinds of jobsā€¦

Something has to change!

We have a ā€œnot for profitā€ Hospital that gets their own day in court each week at court here.

My regular doc and dentist have their own practices, and theyā€™re incredibly kind and professional.

My doc is very honest, when we talked vax early on in 2020 he told me since Iā€™m young itā€™s completely up to me, and he had no reason to believe getting it would benefit me judging by the results of it at that time.

I have an insurance agent and ā€œa guyā€ for most things. It makes things easier, less likely to get screwed over, and I always walk away with what I believe is good advice.

I judge politicians the same way. While itā€™s hard to find, a genuine individual is more important to me than their opinions.

And that David, is proof to my point. There ARE plenty of jobs. So how is that Biden's fault. It's not.

Every president touts the stock market and how great they're doing and how it's the highest it's ever been.

That's the economy for the top 1%. Has nothing to do with us.

Any time any president tells you that, Trump, Biden, or anyone else... don't believe it. The 1% is the 1%, and money is always great for them and it always keeps going up.

Whoop-de-do. The politicians work for the 1%, all of them.

Simple solution:

Have Chinese leaders go on a tour to visit every major city in the US.

Our government will clean up each city a week before the officials arrive. Cleaning the streets, removing the homeless, etc.

Problem solved.

David. We all know better.

When mid-level wealth ainā€™t there, neither are the jobs to support them.

See: no middle class. See: 10k illegal border jumpers

Actually this is the real reason everything is failing now, because of the defeatist democrat party under Joe Biden.

Everything Joe Biden has done is not a small part of what is happening right now, it is the main driving force and it is mooning like a pump and dump scheme.

Of course leftist view is that no one can fix it because it's not the people behind it causing it and visibly making it happen, pay no attention to what he is doing, instead blame all parties so that no one can be singled out, even when it's obvious.

Keep that border wide open and raise taxes!
