I just can’t wait for Biden to tell us to wear sweaters and do without heat this winter.

And mandate a 55 MPH national speed limit. If we’re going full 70s we need that, polyester double-knit pants and platform shoes.

Good post—Carter, the Democrats and the mass media tried to blame the average American for the inflation and told them to stop being greedy and selfish.

Scum—same as they ever were...

When someone calls you greedy and selfish that means they plan on living high on the hog off the fruits of your labor.

Not surprising. The New York Times has always been a propaganda paper for the Democrat party.

Hell, they even covered up/refused to report on Hitler killing Jews.

Maybe we’ll get some good music out of the deal (NOT disco).

Welcome to the Era of Malaise: Part Deux!

[DownInFlames]

Where’s the beef?

[Salman]

Jimmy Carter was merely incompetent.

What's happening now is part of deliberate economic warfare.

It didn’t work too well back then ad I imagine this November will be a similar rear whipping.

[HandBasketHell]

The Leftist Elites can put as much lipstick on their pig economy as they want.

The peasants are reminded of reality every time they fill up their cars or go grocery shopping.

45 mph for gas engines and 75 for electric to nudge us towards their slot car future. High speed rail will still be 35 mph except in California where it will remain 0 mph.

IGNORE YOUR SHRINKING BANK 🏦🏧 ACCOUNTS!!!

Will the Dems and Biden take a page out of the Clinton playbook and let Rs fix his mess then claim credit for it?

As bad as Newt might be, kevin McCarthy ain't no Gingrich.

As bad as Clinton was, Biden ain't no Bill Clinton, in fact I bet he can't even remember who Clinton is.

[PghBaldy]

This is worse than the 1970s as government debt is much higher, so raising rates to where they should be will cause lots of pain.

[Larry Lucido]

I like this one better. Might trigger a few lefties though. They'll accuse Uncle Sam of being a Border Patrol equestrian.

In my drummer, singer, rhythm guitar experience, rock n roll died in the 90's. It's all now pop-pap trying to sound like rock. Even much of Country isn't true to its roots and has the pop/dance sound. Give me Dwight Yoakam, and many of the artists that brought in the resurgence of Country in the 90's.

It's no wonder so many Boomers, Gen-X, some Millenials, and a few Gen-Z are either going back to classic rock or recently discovering it. There is a reason they are called "Classic". Some may call them dinosaur rock...I know a rocking tune when I hear it.
