I guess you haven’t noticed the price of gas is moving back down to civilized territory, and supply chain induced inflation is moving down too. The American people are voting with their dollars to celebrate a good Christmas, and with their feet to visit family and friends. Meanwhile unemployment continues at low levels.

Ah a uniparty Biden Ukraine supporter on FR saying things are all hunky dory? Guess you had better update your profile which reads:

I feel we face some very tough times ahead which will require a maximum of cooperation, creativity, entrepreneurship, and faith. I hope to transmit and originate ideas and knowledge that will facilitate the above. I want to find the best and most useful ideas of others to pass along.

Guess you changed your mind? That said, got any stats to prove your rosy observations? Not likely because everything costs more...Inflation “officially” is nearly 8%, and anyone with a brain knows it is much higher. Yes, you can get a TV for a good price, but try to put food on table. Inflation is not supply-chain induced. It is GOVERNMENT SPENDING...ECON 101 (I think you can take it free online.).

I always check my positions with the global elite, uniparty, and swamp. So, Granny, you feel Biden is doing a spiffy job? Economy doing well? Sure...Where you are getting your news...Perhaps you are getting yours from CNN and MSNBC? May I suggest you look up Steve Cortes for accurate economic info.

Though unemployment may be down (if you choose to believe this administration LOL), there are massive layoffs that have been implemented and scheduled in high paying tech sector....maybe they can work for McD’s until McD installs AI/Robots...

Why do you think gas prices are down to what you deem to be “civilized levels” ? Certainly not long-term Energy independence? Though I don’t have a PhD in economics I did take courses in undergrad and grad school, and I am fairly certain prices are down due to recession/decreased demand and flooding our supply with Venezuelan and strategic reserve gas.

Not sure where you live, but gasoline locally for me is over $3.00—Gee when Trump was Pres., it was under $2. I turn off lights, and my electric bill is over $400/month. My natural gas bill is up 50% from last year, and I consider myself lucky as some people are paying triple from last year.

Look at Mortg. rates. The housing market down nearly 20%—a TRUE indicator of the economy (not feel-good Xmas), stock market declines, credit card rates and usage up up up. Sorry, IMHO you are living in a dream world if you think the economy is actually showing any long term improvement.

Absolutely disgusting? Yes...Regardless of what people are spending at Christmas, we don’t have the money to support Ukraine or any of this spending...Regardless of one’s position on Ukraine (Clearly you support the proxy war with Russia), WE DON’T HAVE THE MONEY—REGARDLESS OF HOW GREAT IT IS THAT ‘AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE VOTING WITH THEIR DOLLARS TO CELEBRATE A GOOD CHRISTMAS ADN THEIR FEET TO VISIT FAMILY...”

Am I going to have a nice Christmas? Of course. As a Christian, I make it a point to celebrate the birth of our savior...For Christmas season, I have lights outside, inside, etc. Sunday, Ham, turkey, enough food to feed the entire block...Gifts, etc. However, I am not going to be deluded...it is a holiday. What is the definition of a holiday? A DAY of festivity or recreation. It is not an economic cycle...real life will continue into the months of Jan. and Feb. when those holiday bills come due.

So yeah, I think what our “representatives” did is Absolutely disgusting!!!!!! But hey, fly your yellow and blue flag on your FB profile and enjoy Christmas.

BTW, I’m going to make a note to check back in 6-8 months to see how your comments have aged...I think my comments are going to age very well...Yours? Not so much. Hope you are right and I am wrong, but I just don’t think so.
