Majority of Americans worse off under Biden.

Dems jacked up the price of everything 23% vs 2020 then take a victory lap because they continue to rise but just not as fast. The imbeciles suck at math.

2020 is covid. Wages up 19% since 2019. Prices up 18%. You should be good. Unless you need a handout? How can I help?

Let's do the math. Are you better off then you were four years ago?

Well four years ago the economy was SHRINKING at -5.1% GDP, now it's at +3.3% GDP.

High inflation, high gas prices, high interest rates, record credit card debt.

Biden’s policies have decimated working folks while the ultra rich get richer.

More than half of voters say they are worse off under Biden: poll

More than half of voters feel worse off under President Biden, according to a new poll released Monday. A Harvard CAPS-Harris poll found that 55 percent of respondents said they were worse of…

Amazing how well Biden has steered the COVID recovery that only 55 percent feel they are worse off still.

The economy is roaring now. Hopefully it keeps up.

LOL....Honestly 87% of those people could have survived off their body fat for a couple months.

Apparently their short memory, doesn't let them remember what it was like four years ago. And whether or not they're better off, than they were four years ago.

The question is, were they better off four years ago?

It is especially hard on senior citizens on modest budgets. Speaking of which, why was the COLA increase for federal workers higher than the COLA for SS recipients?

Well, we did have the COVID virus that the Democrat Fauci funded.

But before that, of course we were better off.

Government jobs funded with borrowed money made up the bulk of the so called jobs numbers. They should be subtracted from the economy.

Exactly, if all jobs were government jobs, who would be taxed to pay the payroll?

I think even as bad as what he is about to inherit is, he'll open up oil production and the effects will be immediate. Here and abroad. He'll strangle Iran again and those billions they are receiving for their oil will come to us instead. Unemployment and interest rates will go down again, and our productivity and GDP will go up.

Meanwhile, right now:

U.S. Producers Break Annual Oil Production Record

Based on oil production data from the Energy Information Administration at noon on December 15, the U.S. set a new oil production record.

The question wasn't five years ago, or six years ago, or ten years ago.

Are you better off than you were four years ago?

And from your answer I would say that would be YES !!!

Even the poor “migrants” fleeing economic straits come in with the latest I-phone!

So you pick a point at which the COVID virus hit? Why not ask if I was better off 4 years and 2 months ago?

I didn't pick it. Ronald Reagan picked it.
It was to sum up the rein of the previous president, and whether he left America better or worse than he inherited it.

And then, during the debate, Reagan posed what has become one of the most important campaign questions of all time: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”
