Making ends meet is a concern for one-third of U.S. consumers, even those making $100,000 or more a year, according to a survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. This is up from 28.7% a year ago.

Among those able to pay their bills in full, more than a quarter worry they will be able to continue to cover their bills in the next six months, up from one-fifth a year ago. Thirty percent of those making $150,000 or more are concerned about their finances in the next six months.

So according to the democrats, 1 out of 3 Americans are liars / ingrates who refsue to appreciate the greatness of biden.

Only 1/3? They are really trying to spin this the best they can.

Yeah, I was going to say that sounds like the enduring lower end of the economic spectrum like forever.

They’re padding it somehow.

[Deo volente]

Exactly. We all know the economy, and pretty much everything else, will be much, much worse under the bad Orange Man. Joe Biden is doing everything he can to save democracy from the new Hitler whose name is Trump.

I retired in 2004 on a nice pension, but Joe Pedo has turned the dollars into pennies, not the best way to lose weight, I assure you.

[cableguymn]

Another third probably cant.

[fruser1]

That's weird. I'd be worried about not making ends meet.

Kids today.

A feature of bidenomics. Or obamanomics.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Because 1/3 have no “making” ability and their ends up till now have been met on the backs of others... seem about right... wonder if it’ll influence the way they vote?
