I didn’t ask “if” I asked “how” your life your life is better now under Biden?

!/2 a dozen or 6?
I think I answered that question with my little mini history lesson.

Too bad Trump didn't have control of the RNC bake then, eh?

No you didn’t. It’s okay, I know you weren’t telling the truth anyways. I guess inflation didn’t affect your address.

Pffft

You guys think Trump is some kind of GOD that has magic powers to restore the economy that HIS policies broke, tax cuts for the rich, cuts to the safety net, supply chain issues, massive unemployment, etc, without any economic fallout or a plan to offset the financial fallout.

Biden focused on more than sending out checks with his signature on them. Got things done that Trump never did, like infrastructure that created jobs.

"Real" FACTS -- require research and reading.

I have researched Trump. I did it for my own knowledge. (Also Biden)

Trump is mostly a blowhard -- promising all kinds of things. But he doesn't follow through.

Biden (like him or not) is "Old School". He knows what/how the government works. He knows how to delegate to those who will follow through and get the job done.

Biden is not obnoxiously flashy like Trump -- but he quietly follows through and gets things done.

It's the follow through that matters to me.

Trumps economy did very well and so did the stock market under Trump. Biden got the infrastructure bill done which is kudos to him, but the economy sucks. I could afford gas and groceries under Trump. I can't with Biden.

Exactly, and the only thing that follows Trump through is chaos!

At the end of his presidency COVID hit that brought it all to a standstill.
The COVID scare is pretty much over.
Trumps economy was excellent.
He did it once. He could do it again.
Biden ... not so much.
Like I said, I could afford gas and groceries with Trump.
But not with Biden.

And no, I go Libertarian, so I"m not a Trump fan "adoring him like a God"

He's a bloviating mess who did great with the economy and stock market. So you just have to ask ... can you hold your nose and vote for him because his policies work ... or is his personality so bad that you can't take it so you vote for the guy with dementia and a sucky economy but he's a nice guy so you'll go with him.

Third option ... LIBERTARIAN. No baggage and a balanced agenda.

No, I can't. His policies are failures. He left the country in chaos, and he'll bring the country to chaos again, if allowed.

You talk about inflation, but Trump just promised a 100% tax on cars made in foreign countries. What's that going to do to inflation? Not bring it down. His China tariffs already cost the American taxpayer, and particularly the American farmer too much.

No, I can't hold my nose and vote for a dictator. A person dead set on removing more rights from states, legislators and the people, a person who aspires to be like Putin, Xi and Orban.

Nope.

Big flashy ego shows are not sustainable.

Trump’s Final Numbers

The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
Home prices rose 27.5%, and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8%.

Well then, since you can't deal with Trump, the options left to you are a geriatric old man Democrat with dementia and failing policies ... or a Libertarian with no baggage and a moderate common sense agenda. Which one will you pick?

Who says he has failing policies? RW Propaganda?

Have you actually researched for yourself?

I personally have no interest in “what was”. Society evolves. Things change. We need to move forward with the changes.

YES! I am better off now than I was 4 years ago.

Is that possible? Did your expenses drop because of Biden? Is the world safer because of Biden? How is that crime and homeless rate? Border good? What is better for you now, I'm actually interested in hearing it.

Get outta town! Don't cry to me about illegals. There was a very strong bipartisan anti-immigration bill that passed the senate that the House Republicans refused to even debate and mark-up!

You are full of it. After 7 years of nothing to see here, you suggest "Oh we have an anti-immigration bill". What a joke...

In a 118-billion-dollar bill, 74 billion is slated for overseas, so unless we fear Ukrainians and Jews coming here illegally then most of it has nothing to do with anti-immigration.

We also should say the only reason why the Left has even suggested somewhat of a bill is because of the trickle flow of illegals to big liberal cities and the people there are not happy. So, they are finally feeling 1% of what the border states have felt for 7 years, and it turns into we need to fix the border.

Where is your screaming of xenophobia and racism like when Trump tried pushing a 50-billion-dollar bill?

These guys are all full of it, they don’t know any better.
Living in a Liberal bubble does strange things to the mind, like a complete lack of reality.

Really? ….and there you go with your propagated lies AGAIN. Your fake propaganda and credibility sucks. Seriously can’t keep up with all your bs🤷‍♂️

In 2019 Trump had the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years at 3.5 percent.

And the supply chain issue was a Covid issue which got considerably worse under Biden.

His tax cuts also helped low and middle income citizens a great deal.

Congressional Democrats have argued that one of the best ways to pay for the legislation is to raise taxes on wealthy households, which, according to many on the left, have benefited disproportionately and unfairly from the 2017 tax reform law passed by Republicans and signed by former President Trump. The latest data, however, proves that this claim is pure mythology. Income data published by the IRS clearly show that on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans' tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent, as so many Democrats have argued. A careful analysis of the IRS tax data, one that includes the effects of tax credits and other reforms to the tax code, shows that filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $15,000 to $50,000 enjoyed an average tax cut of 16 percent to 26 percent in 2018, the first year Republicans' Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect and the most recent year for which data is available. Filers who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break of about 15 percent to 17 percent, and those earning $100,000 to $500,000 in adjusted gross income saw their personal income taxes cut by around 11 percent to 13 percent.

My living expenses have gone up a good 30% overall. To eat out these days is 100 bucks or more when all is said and done that would have been about 50 bucks 5 years ago.

But you know....my life is better...lol geez

Yep, it’s fascinating isn’t it. The desperation in the way they try and twist facts is a site to behold. I’ve been listening to one lie after another after another in this thread alone. There is a bit of humor in some of it though😁

So let's be real.

Oh, but it's so much more important to point fingers at Biden.

An image widely shared on Facebook blames President Joe Biden for how much more five commodities cost in April 2021 versus a year earlier.

But it ignores the fact that in April 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic all but shut down the economy and depressed prices across the board.

Tell me about it.
I had to come out of my semi-retirement and get back to work to keep up.
I was blowing through my retirement and savings like sh!t through a tin horn.
