Americans are being buried in debt and--the Misery Index (not me alone) explains

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Misery Index

The misery index shows how people are doing economically by adding the inflation and unemployment rate. Our chart also includes who was President during that period.

I remembering first hearing about the misery index by someone who was against the policies of Jimmy Carter.

Today, we have those SAME policies! Will people never learn from history?! STOP VOTING DIM!

How did we end up with another Carter Administration - only this time on steroids? At least Carter didn't open our borders to just any old yahoo who wants to come across, including "beyond yahoo" terrorists?!

Americans have a tendency to live above their means.

With BLOATED government vampire sucking off the poor and working class people fall into the debt trap. Imagine if they got to keep the money they earned. The $7,000 BILLION dollars the federal government is leaching off the people is only a portion, now add state and local taxes, fees, and various forms of government mooching.

you forgot

"While those working for said behemoth become millionaires and billionaires (Pelosi et al)"

You make no sense. DUH people were coming across in previous administrations. But if you say things were no better under Trump, you are a big LIAR and I don't particularly appreciate liars.

Everything sucked ass during Trump.

American politicians have a tendency to engage in insider trading and make millions and billions off taxpayer money.

Yes it's odd that Democrats get elected to congress then accidently become multi-millionaires on a meager civil servant salary.

Oh, you're a fucking idiot.

coming from you, that's a HUGE compliment

Thanks

Seattle just demonstrated how Democrats MOOCH. They allocated $30 million for rent relief for 4,500 people. Then spent $60 million hiring government workers to "administer" the program.

Yes, and eventually it catches up with them. Sooner or later people reach the point where they can't pay their bills and the interest due strangles them financially. Their credit cards are cancelled and the credit score tumbles and basically they can't borrow any more money. And that is when the shit hits the fan.

ha ha..

please



It has a lot to do w/ the topic since it is wrong for "the little people" to strive hard, yet have to fork over a huge chunk of their earnings to a govt that is against them, while the aforementioned looters get filthy rich off this.

No, I don't expect for you to get it.

But somehow, those govt "servants" always manage to pay their bills... buy Ferraris... hire male prostitutes who hit them with hammers and etc...

That's the government they voted for. What's the problem?

you flatter yourself.

The day I let some puke dimrat victimize me is the day they put me in the old pine box.

Even if such were to happen, that doesn't make the dimrat right. They are never right.

I'm not a Democrat but thanks for playing.

Mr. Pelosi was not an office holder nor is he a civil servant nor has he ever been elected to a federal position.
