1ºSJ Livingston Gas prices where up before the war with Ukraine, which Biden says is what is causing it. Along with covid. Nope!! They where going up way before that. Biden inherited energy independence, but got rid of that with a stroke of his pen. So, most of what is happening right now in America, is on Biden. Who the hell gets rid of oil production, then buys it at inflated prices from other countries, and starts draining the oil reserves??? Lunatics that's who!!! Everything the Biden/Harris Administration does, turns into some sort of crisis. Biden sure is busy protecting other countries borders as well. What about American borders??? He's letting millions into the country for taxpayers to take care of. I'm all for helping Ukraine, but Biden does not seem to care that Americas borders are wide open, and he is doing nothing about it. Instead he flies illegal immigrants all over the country under the cloak of darkness. The Biden Administration sucks!!! I've never seen such inept people in office as the Biden/Harris Administration. The funny thing is, they don't even want to change course, even though their pole numbers are in the tank. Instead, they try to get voters by giving free stuff. Not the way to run the country!! Nothing is free! Americans will have to pay for all the free stuff!!
2ºBrian Blumfield , just so that we're clear here; I'm a 58 year old, center-left democrat.
I believe in a live and let live policy and I believe in helping those who need help the most instead of subsidizing those who have more than they could use in 50 lifetimes.
I don't condone or support arbitrary, "on demand" abortion,, though I strongly believe that specific exceptions must be made, and I struggle with the government telling any american what they can or can't do with the advice of their physician.
I don't agree with every democrat and I don't disagree with every republican.
And blaming Joe Biden for high prices after the country suffered through then finally began to emerge from the worst pandemic since the spanish flu 100 years ago is as foolish as when many of my fellow Democrats blamed trump for covid.
3ºJoyce Cunningham Biden is sitting pretty. He and Hunter made millions. He could care less about your struggles. He's destroying the country, and Dems cheer him on. It's like watching a comedy movie, except Americans are suffering daily under this Administration. The poles sure reflect what Americans think of this bozo in office. The low poles are not just Republicans and Independent voters, it includes plenty of Democrat voters as well. Election time is coming up. Dems will feel it where it hurts them the most. That being their arrogance, and thinking they can do whatever they please.!!! I have never seen such incompetence in leadership as the Biden Administration is showing the American citizens along with the world. Only took Biden like 17 months to destroy the country. Yes. I know, the extreme left will say I'm wrong. lol. But I'm not!!!
4ºKari Ellis what was I lying about? You are obviously brainwashed by the media. It couldn’t be more obvious. I know this because you’re making this about Trump, which what the intent of the media —to destroy his image. Your arguments are based on emotion and not substance of policy. One thing is true, before biden took office, our economy was great and we had no war. Only did America go to hell after biden took office. You can think what you want but America is sick of the continued failures under this Administration and in November I’ll bet money Republicans will flip the House and Senate.
5ºKari Ellis Wow a real marine!? That’s cool, your dad can join the club. I’ve been in the Army for 19 years. Whatever Trumps reason, it HAS NOT CAUSED WAR. What ever CNN told you, it’s called a diplomatic solution and diplomatic solutions prevent war. Putin has nothing on Trump, otherwise he wouldn’t have respect Trump’s foreign policy. Bottom line, if you think war is a foreign policy success, you’re mistaken. If you think 40-yr. high inflation and negative GDP is an economic success, you’re mistaken. Either way you’re 0-2 and have no argument young lady. Both war and a horrible economy emerged on Biden’s watch and people will show how they feel this November. Enjoy the red wave ️
6ºGabriele Montgomery what I think hurts America are people with allegations without any proof to back them up. Biden is no savior, but how is he "destroying America faster than any other president in history?" Because America has actually had a few VERY VERY bad-incompetent presidents. I have been a healthcare administrator, I have also had a private practice, and I can tell you that the president, governor, or mayor can not control the price of gas, or even bananas. Our economy will continue to be in the hands of very greedy, self centered so-called business and political (not in the white house) persons until the electorate decides to take America back. But it won't be through Biden, nor Trump; there are no heroes in this case. Americans will either have to get their act together or else.
7ºDonald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years
The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.
The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country.
The combination of Trump’s 2017 tax cut and the lack of any serious spending restraint helped both the deficit and the debt soar. So when the once-in-a-lifetime viral disaster slammed our country and we threw more than $3 trillion into COVID-19-related stimulus, there was no longer any margin for error.
8ºCyndi Bernal Love the price of gas has doubled in the last two years. The price of food has also risen a hefty amount. Need another car? Showrooms are practically empty and used car lots are almost empty, too. Time for the billionaires to start replacing the businesses, they sent out of country, and replacing good paying jobs where people can afford to raise a family again. Even the farmers are being paid not to farm their land. Other farmers are selling off prime farmland to housing developers, thus limiting the amount of food being grown or livestock being raised.
9ºKari Ellis you’re reactions and comments suggest this conversation is making you uneasy. The President doesn’t need to control what oil companies charge, the President just needs to control our dependence the oil its itself —that’s the point. The problem is not the oil companies, the problem is our dependence on them. Obviously Trump wasn’t dealing with war because he actually had respect from world leaders. Biden not only increased our dependence on foreign oil, he has no respect on the world stage. You can call it bs because you’re in denial, but anyone else with an IQ over 20 understands Biden’s policies that made us dependent on foreign oil and his lack of respect on the world stage caused our economic problems and the Cold War 2.0. Good try though
10ºNo wonder so many IGNORANT people voted for Trump--you all have NO CLUE what is driving this inflation. 1) Russia's war with Ukraine and subsequent Sanctioning of Russian Goods and Oil; 2) OPEC refusing to increase drilling of oil deposits;3) Demand for U S Dollar across the globeto pay for goods and services( the stronger the dollar the "money" of another country it takes to buy their goods and services; 4) and Employment numbers more people working means more money in circulation (so the economists say) to buy goods.5) Greedy Corporations that operate on the global markets setting the Prices of their goods to benefit THEIR bottom line..... THE PRESIDENT NO MATTER WHO IS, WAS, OR WILL BE IN OFFICE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RATE OF INFLATION...
