It doesn't take the Republicans to show that Biden is unfit to be President- Joe shows it each and every time that he makes public appearances and his seldom interactions with the press. His handlers have to show him where to exit the stage and he doesn't remember the names of his own appointments.

There are plenty of Republican bills being written that will help everyday Americans, but many don't even get brought up for a vote by Schumer, the Dem majority leader and Biden, who says in advance that he'll veto bills that doesn't spend money in the places where he wants the money to be spent like the Ukraine war money pit and have the border and aid to Israel all stuck together in an enormous spending package. This goes against what the Republicans promised their constituents before their term of office began.

Greed always has driven the market..... and the holding wages down while giving more to the wealthy in order to continue growing the disparity in incomes that is destroying American greatness and our economy.

And exactly who is 'holding down the wages'?

You can't reason with people about the economy, when they don't understand what money IS, where it "comes from" and what determines its value.

Bidenomics is doing great?

Your last statement is the way it's always been. But your first statement sounds like it's coming from an imbecile - and I've never considered you one. Misguided? Absolutely. But inflation rates over the past 7 years or so point out that this wouldn't even be a headline if it hadn't been for the Build Back Better economy causing so much inflation that the Fed had no choice but to take interest rates up so far so fast to cool things off. Like so many "problems" that the former Vice President has "made progress on" - it wasn't a problem before his administration took charge. Take a break from MSM "reporting" and just take a look at the facts available. Look particularly at the period from April 2021 until late this year. Apparently "progress" is slowing the rate of inflation from over 9% to over 3% (which, strangely is a number you can't find in any column from 2016-2019 during the years of that "horrid orange virus".

The only thing your Joe is good at is giving away our money.

Easy answer. 53 years of steady bribery of congress by corporations to pass laws damaging unions. Both parties are guilty to an extent, but conservatives more than others. In this period, "Right to work" laws, free trade with China, India, etc. forcing Americans to compete with 3rd world labor for a paycheck, allowing corporationsto import over 130,000 foreigners a year to take higher paying jobs, has resulted in wage growth about 10% in 53 years, while the top paid 1% gained from 300% to over 1,400% in paychecks. This increased ownership of all of America's wealth to the wealthy from about 35% to over 50%. This is exactly what is wrong with America today. And why 40% of American wage jobs are at or below the established definition of poverty. In summary, the rich and corporations bribe congress to pass laws damaging America's workforce for personal gain. And the GOP is constantly doing this, abetted from time to time by the dems. Anymore questions? I can back this up with facts.

MAGA Republicans are following Trump's orders as they continue to push for impeachment. This sham process is opposed by more than half of Americans. We are about to see a political backfire.

Maybe you want to read my reply above. I'm educated in economics and understand clearly how they work or don't, as the case may be. The absolute fact about economics is that the ONLY THING THAT DRIVES A GREAT ECONOMY IS LOTS OF PEOPLE BUYING GOODS AND SERVICES. Nothing else does. When you buy something, someone else has a job replacing it. More money to the rich does not help the economy. It damages it because it takes from the working class. Until we turn around what has been done to American workers, we will never again have a great economy. That is a fact. The GOP lies about this and continues doing what they can to take more from the working class and give it to the rich in return for the bribery disguised as "re-election contributions. "

Just about evenly split regarding the favoring of an impeachment of Joe Biden.


Americans evenly split on Biden impeachment inquiry, new poll says

As House Republicans expanded their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden by voting to formalize the probe, a new poll has found Americans are evenly divided on the effort as they head toward an election where both parties' candidates could have one — or two — impeachment trials on their records.

According to the NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist University poll released on Wednesday, 49% support the probe, while 48% oppose. Nearly a quarter of Democrats are in favor of the House GOP-led inquiry, while 20% of Republicans are not. Independents clocked in at 45% approving and 50% disapproving the impeachment process.

"Americans face a very unusual situation for next November, in that it may be a rematch between the current incumbent and a former president," Lee M. Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said in a statement. "Toss into the equation that neither frontrunner is well-liked, and both could face an electorate with an impeachment on their political resume."

So, the government is holding down wages. As usual, that's the problem with about everything 'the government' handles.

OK: Another question. When democrats control 'the government'; why do they not 'fix' the problem?

Won't adding 8 million unskilled workers keep wages down?
