SNL Harris Walz skit
That’s some pretty impressive contortionism from Kiplinger. I hope they didn’t pull a hamstring.
You would have to be high to think that employment is better now.
Ridiculously stupid question. EVERYONE is worse off. Well except for the top 1%.

Every year I’m better off then the year before. The kids all have good paying jobs and the grandkids are all healthy with a bright future.

Well, bully for you. Guess you’ll be voting for Skamala so your good fortune continues. The rest of us probably feel quite differently.
They are comparing inflation with inflation. So if inflation in an individual sector is less than the overall inflation rate, that is rated as “better”.
It’s not better, it’s less worse.
In related news, the chocolate ration has been increased from 30 to 20 grams per week. Big Brother be praised!
I don't care about treasured 'indices' and excuses. Show me the lower grocery bills, utility bills, gasoline and insurance, and tax bills. They aren't there.
I can see where some may have it better off if they look at their own particular situation where they and their children are having good fortune right now. But I’d disagree with the grand children’s ‘bright futures’ part. Not with the damage that’s been done to this country by Democrats.
No, and anyone who says so is lying.
“Well, bully for you. Guess you’ll be voting for Skamala so your good fortune continues. The rest of us probably feel quite differently.”
The question was directed at each one of us and I answered. Other then the drunks, I don’t know anyone in my small community who is worse of now then 4 years ago
My fortune keeps improving year by year. I’m certainly a heck of a lot better off then I was 30 years ago.As for the kids, they all own their own homes and have secure jobs so they’ll never be out of work.
Patently dishonest gymnastics.
You may be better off because you made wise choices and got an education as have your children but you cannot tell me that overall prices and costs of living today here in 2024 are better than they were before Biden took over ~ 4 years ago.
[I fully own my home, too. Paid cash for it. That still doesn’t mean all the costs associated with it aren’t significantly more]
Compare it to 2018 when pres Trump was serving and prices were fairly low.
