So..........if things are SOOO TERRIBLE then:

why is there a shortage of 35-85,000.00 cars and trucks to buy?

why did we still have record gas consumption at 5.00 a gallon prices

why is Disney, vacation spots filled to the brim with people

why are people eating out and spending 80-100.00 a meal to feed 4-5 people

why are people buying 150k RV's - which they can't keep in stock either

why do people have 5-6-8 big screen tv's in their 4 bdm houses?

why are people spending thousands of dollars on ammo, weapons, etc that just sit there for them to admire

200.00 a month cell bills are normal everyday expenses as is 150 cable bills - life necessity right?

why are people paying Harley Davidson 25-40k for a motorcycle/ tricycle which they can't keep in stock


and yet all we hear is things are soooooooooooo bad! LMAO

Sure gas is too high, diesel fuel too high along with all the related petroleum products we needed to plant our farm this year but we survived, cut back where we could and will actually be just fine, corn is already 2 foot tall and first cutting of hay in the barn - life goes on doesn't it. So I know there is a segment here who LOVES MISERY so have at all, if you want to live that way fine by me but I think I will enjoy my time left here, AMIRIGHT?

Hey grow a garden if you don't like grocery prices, I promise it tastes much better !

The Daily mail said 95 sex offenders out of 178,000 people they interacted with. So... 0.05% of people of crossing the border are sex offenders. Which is about the same percentage as the population at large.
You are falling for the media's sensationalism.

My guess is if someone you loved was assaulted by one of those sex offenders you might feel differently. ONE is ONE too many. Our borders are not controlled by our government, they are being controlled by the drug cartels.

I don't see crime out of control where I live either.

Crime statistics aren’t terribly debatable/malleable, but do enjoy the human shielding for your beloved.

Inflation is too high...
The economy is ok.
Unemployment is really low.

You'd like to score political points by implying if not for Biden the bad stuff would not have happened. I disagree...and the republicans have not offered a single suggestion to help.

Crime is not rising across the nation. Some locales it goes up, some it goes down. Crime is not a national problem, it is a local one.
We already have a national police force, the FBI, that absolutely no one likes. The solution to Crime is found at the local level.

I'm hoping someone has an answer to inflation. Do you?

 

[Zam-Zam]

I hope Joe Biden lives a long, happy and healthy life. I just don't think he should be POTUS, and in fact would probably be better off personally if he wasn't.

So, no, I don't hate him. I just don't agree with him, and I don't believe he is a good fit for the office he holds.

You shouldn't try to speak for me - You're not qualified to do so. Which is likely why you got it so horribly wrong.

It's all good.

You obvious ignored my links. And I have no doubt, you will continue to bury your head in the sand. By the way, pay your student loans (your legal responsibility). I have no interest in paying them for you.

 

[Zam-Zam]

I'm hoping someone has an answer to inflation. Do you?

So the country is on the wrong track. Is that right?

I believe the first step in dealing with inflation is responsible spending habits in the nation's capital. We're certainly not getting that now, although Joe Manchin's defiant "No" to this President was a big positive. It could actually be worse.

I'd also increase domestic fuel production, re-open the Keystone pipeline, and reduce our dependence of foreign fuel. The price of fuel affects the price of every good that is shipped.

And I'd take steps to restore sanity to the southern border instead of ignoring it.

That would be a start.
