You need to open your eyes and look around. It is due to the policies of Joe Biden that you are not still in the economic and social cesspool where we all lived at the end of the nightmare called the Fat Boy administration. The obese liar asks, "are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?" Hell yes I am!
Here's what we were looking at when the American people told the Fat Boy to get the hell out of the White House.
The economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased dramatically to a peak of 13% in the second quarter of 2020.
Paychecks grew faster than inflation for those still working. Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 8.7% after inflation. Numbers show increase due to 80% of the 10 million job losses were held by workers on the lower rungs.
Stock Market and Corporate profits maintained their long time gains until 2nd qtr 2020 when the bottom fell out.
The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up.
The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 40.5% from 2016.
The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.
The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
Home prices rose 27.5%, and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8%.
Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year (2020) compared with 2016.
Coal production declined 26.5%, and coal-mining jobs dropped by 16.7%. Carbon emissions from energy consumption dropped 11.5%.
Handgun production rose 12.5% last year compared with 2016, setting a new record.
The murder rate last year rose to the highest level since 1997.
Trump filled one-third of the Supreme Court, nearly 30% of the appellate court seats and a quarter of District Court seats with candidates chosen by The Heritage Foundation.
1,000,000+ Americans dead and more dying from COVID. The worst of the industrialized nations.
Biden has turned EVERY ONE of the negatives around and restored the health of the points that caved in in 2020 due to the Fat Boys incompetence and the incapabilities of the clowns surrounding him. Our standing in the world has been regained along with our national honor and dignity. Unemployment is at a 50 year low and the market is back to setting records. Our inflation is still a bit high but it is still the lowest of the industrialized nations. Wages are genuinely up over inflation, consumer confidence levels are at a high point, retail sales are up, high paying tech jobs are booming with many not requiring college degrees, manufacturing is returning to America and new manufacturing facilities are being built.
Am I better off now than when the Fat Boy was destroying the country? You bet your ass I am!
You need to open your eyes and look around. It is... (

Sometimes you have you have to wonder at the dishonesty of Leftists. Inflation is still a BIT high?!
NBC News--Inflation which is at a 40 year high, has risen every month since Biden took office
Inflation up 16 %...Groceries prices nearly 20% higher since Gestapo Joe took office.
But then again, as long as Leftists get theirs they could care less about the shape of the country.

AS I have stated repeatedly in the past I voted Republican from 1972(Nixon)thru 1992(GHW Bush) I liked the platform of Pres.Clinton and then Pres. OBama in 2008-16. I did alright those 16yrs both financially and career wise. I really wanted Bernie to face the Donny in 2016 and had to really decide to vote for Hillary looking back I wish I had along with rest of the Democrats we wouldn't be in this problem now. Until the GOP gives up on MAGA and run a Reagan Republican or even a GHW Bush Republican I won't EVER Return to the GOP. I am now looking into the Forward party and their platform sounds very promising.

👍 Sounds about like me. Most of my sisters are more liberal than I, probably more like GrammyD. But I've been antiDJ from the get-go.
You are simply spouting nonsense. When Fat Donny was finally thrown out of office in January of 2021 inflation was at 7.5%. It took Biden until mid November to get it back below that point and it has dropped every month until it reached it's present day 3.2%. At latest survey, Germany is the only industrialized country with a lower inflation rate than the US at 2.7. What looking at the inflation rate doesn't tell you is why. The primary reason is the labor market and how tight it is. There are not enough workers to fill the needed jobs thus forcing employers to pay more and more in salaries and in hourly wages to keep good employees. That Rectalomi is a problem sitting right in the lap of the republicans who fight issuing work permits leaving thousands of jobs open while telling Americans that an immigrant is coming to take their jobs. The long term effect is that they are able to keep their "inflation" whine in the forefront by literally insuring that it won't go away as long as they won't let it.
Here's another little bit of info having to do with capitalism. Neither the president nor the government owns the growing, the harvesting or the marking of the nation's food. Similarly, they don't own the petroleum products produced in America. The corporations that do own these commodities set the prices. Those prices have been going up because small competitors are being allowed to be bought up by the conglomerate. As competition is eliminated the mega corporations who control various industries are free to rape, loot and pillage to their hearts content.
Senator Tammy Baldwin has introduced the Price Gouging Prevention Act that would force corporations who are gouging to adjust their pricing and to prevent those who are not from doing so. I have not read the act so I am not familiar with the mechanics of it. Every aspect that is under the control or the direct influence of the president is providing their services ethically and at a fair price. Unfortunately, that does not cover a whole lot.

It's called the planet of MAGA and it is chock full of those who are insanely dogmatic and who dwell in the world of fiction based the mental wanderings and fabrications of a less than bright Fat Man. The truth is our there and really easy to access. You might consider giving it a try.

and what you have just proven is that unless I agree with what you are saying or thinking I live in a Make America Great Again bubble and with blinders on and am blinded by the bright Fat Man. You are wrong. I hope to never be as closed minded, gullible, and full of hate for people such as you. I never believe something someone said especially the ones who tend to twist words or only give half the quote. This occurs on both sides and you should try it.

You are the closed minded, extremely gullible person full of hate and blind to truth, fact and logic. So did the Fat Boy win the 2020 election? Was his house full of highly classified documents that he lied about having, tried to hide from the FBI requiring a search warrant to recover? Did we all hear the phone call where he tried to extort Zelensky. Did we hear the phone call where he spoke to Raffensperger asking him for 11,000+ votes? What facts do you see as being not applicable to you? You do know that he was convicted of sexual assault that most of the world calls "rape", don't you. You know, I'm sure, that he was found guilty of falsifying business records for the purpose of fraud, don't you?
