I’m not a statistician and I know there was a heck of a lot of spending going on but in terms of things like the green new deal, war on oil, gas and coal, supply chain collusion, the border, a general total lack of confidence in Biden, explosion in cronyism creating artificial economies, mandates and corporate boards getting the message from the DOJ to push Biden agendas. The list goes on forever. The Trump area spending which of course was GOPe /Rat policy would in no way account for what is happening now.
I was paying 1.60 for gas. China was on the ropes. You saw what was happening. I’m sure others could add much more hardly reported specifics that account for lowest unemployment or a hundred other positive markers.

Yeah, I was in shock that our home jumped 7% in value while on vacation. Way to go, pedojoe…

Have a friend from church who works at a local car dealership. He says it’s all supply and demand. He said 90% of their new car sales are factory orders because carmakers aren’t able to get many new models to lots, especially here in the Midwest. Average wait to get that new car - 6 months. So, because new cars aren’t available on lots, they are charging more for used cars. So, you want a car right now? Well, you’re going to have to pay more for it. When I talked to my friend last month, he said his dealership had just ONE new car on the lot. Two years ago, normal new inventory at this rural dealership was 50 vehicles.

The only thing that makes sense to me.....is that they want economic collapse. They obviously are not afraid of elections anymore.

Between the Democrats and "assistant Democrats," we're at $30 trillion and counting.

A interesting nice bit of research would be to look at ALL the Senate votes -- yea and nay -- for increasing the debt limit since 2000.

Biden has only been in office just over one year.

How will things be after 3 more years of Biden?

Scary to even think about.

To be fair, this started under Trump....

President Trump had no choice but to spend with the onset of Corona. The real spending spree was the lefty dreams-come-true madness.

Is that increase in value expressed in dollars, or in something meaningful like gallons of regular gas?

No they won’t. Just keep raising those property taxes.

Well, the nice thing about being old is that you really don’t “want” a lot of stuff. And having your own chickens, a wood burning stove, and a nice garden - and a paid off house - makes life very, VERY cheap.

Illegals get everything handed to them on a silver platter by the Dems. I’m sure they’ll adjust their gummint cheese allowance accordingly. The rest us who were born here, work here, served in the military here, well..........tough nuts.

It’s almost like somebody is having Biden destroy our country. Only 3 more years to go!

That mentally retarded dunce is the Deep State’s puppet, and that cabal of anti-Americans is said to be controlled by the World Economic Forum. The WEF was established in 1971 by German engineer and economist Klaus Schwab. That’s probably the “somebody” you’re referring to.

Yup. You've done it the correct way. I'm not far behind you.
