Democrats are currently the lessor evil.  Until Republicans support freedom again like abortion and civil rights, they probably won't get my vote.   Keep the government out of personal decisions.   Including guns.   If only libertarians had actual support.

Are you sure about that?

A funny thing happens when moronic leaders cause an economic collapse when everyone runs out of money.

Pretty much every other issue takes a backseat

That used to be true.

Now the media is complicit in gaslighting everyone into believing their narratives (i.e. lies) over their own eyes and wallets.

The media also pushes other issues while ignoring economics.  Transgender "rights" (as if they need more that the rest of us), racism, pro-abortion (used to be pro-choice, but we knew better), drag queens, pronouns, etc, etc.  All pushed to the front of the news line-up.

$32 Trillion national debt. That's $100,000 per person.

you might want to google "labor participation rate" and "real income" before you make statements like that...

Really?

Bought gas lately?  Lumber?  New car?  Eggs?  Did you compare the prices to 2019 and 2020 prices?

If inflation and unemployment are your top metrics, you should be wishing for Trump to return.   :geekdanc: :thumbsup:

Quote
Of course, presidents are given too much of the credit when times are good and
too much of the blame when times are bad. And much of the stage was set for a
rebound in the labor market in 2020, before Biden took office. That was when the
government quickly provided fiscal stimulus designed to support the economy
and businesses through the pandemic.

The news isn’t so great when it comes to wages — at least not the second year of
the Biden’s term. Yes, earnings grew an average of 5.2% year-over-year in 2022,
which is almost double the pre-pandemic average. But after considering inflation,
which averaged 7.1%, workers are finding it harder to make ends meet.

This is a big problem for Biden. If real wages don’t turn positive and soon, preferably
through a significant slowdown in inflation, then voters will give his administration no
credit for all the jobs created. Make no mistake — it only gets tougher for Biden on
the jobs front from here. With a significant slowdown in the economy forecast this year,
or even a recession, the median estimate of more than 50 economists surveyed by
Bloomberg is for the unemployment rate to rise to 4.4% by the end of 2023 and to 4.8%
in 2024 — both higher than pre-Covid levels.

Inflation is down? That’s news to the federal reserve.
