1ºEric Palmer I’m not buying that crap. Wages have gone up significantly all across the country. My job pays extremely well and we have people quitting left and right. We live in an entitled society. We see it everyday.. “me, me, me” is all we ever hear. People want money, but don’t want to put in the work and then complain that they can’t afford to live.
The sad part is though, even with a decent paying job, people need to get a second job to afford life. Basic necessities are to expensive and people only work to survive.. that’s what needs to change.
2ºOmar Bennett Sr.
He tried to take credit for what
Pres.
Obama did .
Trump said the ecomony has been great since 2014.
Guess who was in office
Pres.
Obama.
Trump screwed up the ecomony of course the pandemic didn't help.
But he knew and still lied and called it a hoax .
Pres.
Biden has done great job
What's sad is
Red
State Republicans still didn't want a infrastructure bill done.
Of course they don't care about jobs and only care about the Rich
They gave them the Rich more tax cuts instead of taking care of their States
Only because the Rich put big money into their pockets.
Screwing ther own people especially those that vote them in.
Republicans have nothing to offer the American people
It's just more of the same.

3ºDanny Noonan The President of the United States has little to do with the Board of the Federal Reserve. No single President nominates enough members in his term to control the Board. The current Chairman, Powell, is a Republican, was appointed by President Obama, and three current members are Republican. Four are Democrats “The seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. A full term is fourteen years. One term begins every two years, on February 1 of even-numbered years.”
It is important to note that every interest rate increase in the last 48 years has happened by unanimous vote. In every case, party in power was not a factor. https://www.federalreserv...umbered%20years.
4ºJerry Henley If Trump's tax cut caused inflation then it wouldn't have started FOUR YEARS after he was implemented. LoL. You can't spend trillions of dollars when the supply chain is fcked up. Biden's own treasury secretary admitted on tv they were wrong about it only causing transitory inflation. Democrats were mad bc they didn't get all their bullsht projects in the first covid bill so they had to pass another trillion dollar bill so they could get all their BS projects. Then Biden turns around and spends another trillion dollars on a bill he called, "Inflation Reduction Act". Downright comical.
5ºJohn Sersch yes canceled the keystone pipeline. That wouldn't have benefited us anyways as it wasn't anywhere near completion. The second part is not true.
Printed money we didn't have? Oh you're talking about the almost trillion dollar a year military budget.
Coming out of the pandemic caused the highest inflation. The same inflation that oddly affected the entire world all at the same exact time.
Interest rates which are not going to be raised again, we're raised to help bring inflation down. Which it is and again way better than the rates of the world.
The interest rates were raised to make it tougher to borrow money to spend thus increasing inflation.
The bad part is that the interest rates not raising and lowering will mean it'll be easier for investors to borrow more money and they'll return to paying over the value of houses making the house pricing rise again.
Question, can this "id1ot" that can't put a sentence together also be the head of a crime family? He can't be both at the same time.
I suggest you just follow the actual data and not parrot what you hear from other m0r0nz
6ºJoe LaCentra Bidens done nothing despite inheriting a rapidly recovering economy. He still well the record high workforce participation under the previous admin. All Biden has done is increase the cost of goods, services, food, energy and pump prices for all....increased taxes for all, yep, even those making under 400k.....twice actually.....increased the National Debt more than anyone in only 2 1/2 years, allow Russia to I Vader Ukraine and China to take a big step towards invading Taiwan. And talk about being an embarrassment for the US between forgetting where he is, what he's supposed to do and say, having the King of England have to lead him across the lawn like Mr Magoo, falling off his bike, having to change to the short stairs on AF1 having to use cue cards to answer questions......
7ºBrandon Kopkin Oh, so the employment rate is at its lowest It's been in 50 years, but the majority of those that are employed Are living paycheck to paycheck. So we have people Employed but The majority of those people can't Afford for any extra bills or Emergencies without going grossly into debt. So what the majority of people are employed when the majority of those jobs are No longer paying wages To keep up with the increasing cost of living? It does not scream good economic times when The majority of Employed people can't even Keep up with the Increase to cost of living.

8ºKim Herman bless your heart. If a 40 hour work week cannot let someone live in a 1 bedroom apartment and cover BASIC bills, then they are not getting paid enough with minimum wage, no matter who is in the WH when inflation occurs (fun fact about every decade or so, there is always inflation. Example, in the ‘40’s you could catch an afternoon matinee, large popcorn & cola, for a QUARTER. That’s when their minimum wage was, wait for it… a quarter an hour)
I used a very basic example to keep it easy for you to follow, but another example, the average cost of a house that year was $3,000. A HOUSE. To buy an entire house, not the rate of a 1 month’s rent.
Sit down before you embarrass yourself further.
9ºAndy Bensinger I can agree that both sides have faults. I criticize the dems for not doing more when they had both chambers. I hear a good game, but they only push these votes and issues when they are the minority group. The same can be said about republicans. They aren’t focusing on anything that would actually help the people. No social programs, more assistance to impoverished children. Free lunches for all students. Investment into the population to help everyone get ahead. Create affordable housing. People who live in the sticks, like me, are usually born into abject poverty. It’s really hard for people to get ahead, and if you don’t have a car, you’re a sitting duck, without cell service, and isolated. We need some type of public transportation for these individuals, so they can get rides to an adequate job. Unrealistic expectations for people from the government.
10ºEileen Roy Papas Trump inherited a stagnant economy as indicated by a flat GDP, below long term growth rates.
Bidennhas NOT "created" a single job outside his extreme "Green" industry. There are less working, workforce participation today than under Trump. What Biden has is called "Recovery", which he actually slowed down from the rapid recovery he inherited. Let's not forget, Florida.and Texas as example, had a 2 week pause, though never actually shut down, whereas big Blue states closures lasted well over a year, which many experts feel was by political design.
Bide if you recall wanted to keep air travel with China and other infected countries when the pandemic started in China, OPEN, even calling the restrictions "racist". Can only imagine the disaster that would have ensued in Biden had been in charge then
