The Biden ecnomy keeps rolling, and it's just the beginning of the first quarter, and a lot of construction projects around the country ramp up this year.

Meanwhile, Americans can't pay their rents or mortgages, groceries, etc. - causing Trump to lead the polls.

"Meanwhile, Americans can't pay their rents or mortgages, groceries, etc."

If you know any of those 'Americans'....well, amigo, do what you can to help 'em out. Don't just come on your fav media chatbars and complain that your family and friends are having a hard go of it. Do something. Help 'em out.

Meanwhile, the rest of America is doing just fine. So you may not need to help them.

Good luck.

It it weren't for Bidenomics, they wouldn't need help. Biden needs to help out millions of people by reversing his policies.

Biden needs to help out millions of people by reversing his policies.

The policies that maybe are helpin' scores and scores of millions of Americans experience..... full employment, rising wages, lower inflation than the rest of the world, rising home values, strong profits, and strong order files? Those policies?

Really?
Why would you want those scores and scores of millions America to not do well?
Just so your paltry 'millions' can buy more groceries?

WTH?

Lower inflation? You mean now that he had 9% we can be excited that it's gone down a bit? Thank God. Too bad prices are up a total of like 50% since January 2021 and continue to rise.

--------------------------------------------------------
And then, America's experience with this round of inflation was better than the rest of the world. And you come on here and whine about that?

So, mein freund, go live in Turkey.....they've got 67%
Try Russia.....they've got nearly 8%.
America? ---- 3.4%

So, scoot.......find your safe haven.
Maybe Bosnia? ..... they've only got 1.7%

Good luck ......and keep the forum informed how you are doing. K?

Full employment only means that people have left the workforce and are no longer looking for a job. Wages have not kept up with inflation since Biden took office. People are falling further behind. When talking inflation numbers they conveniently leave out energy and food costs and even at that, inflation is higher than when Biden first took office. Rising home values means renters pay more money and the rising home values are due to high inflation. Many businesses are going under, while a few get reported as having strong profits. Americans are hurting, due to leftist policies.

so, if the economy gets better over the next 8 months, will that help Trump or hurt him?

Full employment only means that people have left the workforce and are no longer looking for a job.

That is not what it means at all. The core working age participation rate is the highest in 20 plus year. The only people that have left the workforce are people that have retired, and that is a good thing.

Many businesses are going under, while a few get reported as having strong profits.

are you fucking kidding, the last two years have seen record profits across the board

That's exactly what you morons don't understand. The inflation we have already had is cooked into today's prices. Even if inflation goes down to zero, prices are still 17% higher than when Biden took office. Unless Biden has a time machine to go back and correct his stupid policies which caused inflation, he's toast.

I guess we will find out in a few months, are you willing to wager on the outcome of the election since you are so very sure you boy is going to win?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Lol. Yes believe the lying media... not your empty wallet ...

I agree, because they are just giving away all those tickets at NBA packed houses, NFL packed houses, College football and basketball packed houses. The dealerships are just giving away cars and trucks now, hell nobody is buying them. You go to the grocery stores and the parking lots are packed, because they are having these huge food giveaways.

Since the Pandemic, Food Prices Have Risen 23.5 Percent; People the NYT Interviews Have Seen Much Sharper Increases

NYT readers should know that anyone who has seen the cost of their food basket rise by 66.7 percent is either very atypical or badly confused about how much they used to pay for food.

cepr.net

The third person giving their food bills, a management analyst at a federal agency, reported that two weeks of groceries now cost her $150, compared to $100 before the pandemic. This is an increase of 50 percent.

Food prices are rising at the highest rate in decades. Here's where that money goes.

A dollar spent on food is split up among a dozen industries, many of which are seeing their own prices rise.

www.cbsnews.com

There are many many things in the grocery store that have DOUBLED since Biden took office. I pay 50% more for food than I did in Jan of 2021. So do a lot of people.

Totinos pizza: $1 each under Trump, 2 dollars under Biden. Cost: DOUBLED

Sargento cheese pack: 4 dollars under Trump, 8 dollars under Biden. Cost: DOUBLED

Digiorno Large pizza: 5 dollars under Trump, 8 dollars under Biden. Cost: Up 60%

Hershey Giant candy bar: 2 dollars under Trump, 3 dollars under Biden Cost: Up 50%

3lb bag of assorted candy: 7.99 under Trump, 14.99 under Biden. Cost: DOUBLED

Eggs: 1.99 under Trump, 8.99 under Biden. Cost: 450% higher

Avocados: 29cents each under Trump, 89 cents each under Biden. Cost: 290% increase

Ground meat: 2 dollars a pound under Trump, 5 dollars a pound under Biden. Cost: 250% increase.

Chicken leg quarters: 29 cents a pound under Trump, 59cents a pound under Biden Cost: DOUBLED

Family size bag of Doritos: 2.99 under Trump 4.99 under Biden Cost: 70% increase



I could go on and on. The costs are astronomical. In the 32 months prior to Biden taking office, groceries rose 2%, they've risen 20 times that since.

Let's go Brandon!!!

So, your links do not support your claims so you just give some random prices.

Every single betting venue has Trump winning and these people don't play around with partisan politics when billions of dollars are at stake.

When you realize the significance of this chart, especially the massive uptick after 2020 - then you can make a ridiculous post like this and claim innocent due to insanity instead of just plain ignorant
