Biden’s fireside chat you referenced, will consist of him turning the teleprompter around so we can read it. Rather than be forced to listen to him stumble incoherently through the speech himself.

We went through this with Jimmy Carter. He blamed evil greedy corporations, evil greedy foreigners, evil greedy speculators, then finally evil greedy average Americans.

Democrats refuse to step up and take responsibility after they *&^% things up....

What a BS number. The real inflation number is always at least twice what the government says it is.

Jimmy was a good guy but just not cut out to be POTUS. I am glad he lived to see this day.

Whatever the number is that they’ll admit to, is a lot less than what it really is ...

It sucked but we had hope and optimism that everything would be resolved with Ronald Reagan in office...or at least I did.

It took a while for that to happen. People forget how 80-83 was a horrible economy with lousy employment opportunities. It was emotionally better than Carter…but that didn’t help me get a job out of college.

That is gonna force Team Biden to double down on blaming —

Putin,
Trump,
evil greedy corporations,
climate change,
‘mericans who don’t know how good they have it under Biden’...

Poor Joe, the new worst president in a half-century [or more].

I hope them “81 million po’ folks” who voted for the demented old pedophile are really taking it on the chin. They need their asses kicked for what they’ve done to America.
Election, especially stolen election like 2020 HAVE CONSEQUENCES. It’s so bad, even the know it all college Snowflakes and princesses can’t afford to pay back their college loans.

My savings are getting hit. I am being killed from both sides!

I know that. I had 4% CD's from several years ago that renewed at 2.8%. Last month they matured and renewed at 1.6%.

I was being sarcastic although the 17% I listed is far more accurate than the governments 8.6%.
