I would like to thank Pres. Biden for holding steady on his economic course. Inflation and some prices are falling. We can thank ourselves as well.

I suspect you meant to say " one" can call someone.....because I don't use those words. Well maybe sexist now and again.

Have a nice day....
 
This will give the cult a case of the sads.

Even as their own families benefit from Biden's economic policies.
 

First, that is from March of 2023 which is not the same time frame as your other link and second, less than what? The article had no baseline.

That link is borderline non-sequitur.

Umm. I think your TDS is showing:

Did Donald Trump tell governors to close states during the pandemic? The answer is complicated​

Did Trump instruct governors to shut down amid COVID-19?

Former President Donald Trump has been attacking Gov. Ron DeSantis over the way he managed Florida’s COVID-19 pandemic r

Wasn't it the state governors who ordered the lockdowns?

​

Pretty sure that the US federal health agencies are where the recommendations for COVID lockdowns originated.

Correct, that was under Trump, not Biden.

Trump Extends Coronavirus Lockdown Until April 30

After dangling the possibility of restarting the U.S. economy by Easter, Trump now says keeping deaths to 100,000 would be a ‘very good job.’

$931 billion continuing through Dec 2021, both Trump and Biden, not counting rental relief or moratoriums. With the country basically shutdown simultaneously paying people to stay home, what were they thinking? The total economic damage is said to be between $14 to 18 trillion dollars to the USA. While spending trillions we don't have, and nobody knows what is causing inflation? Biden and the left have spent the last four years blaming it on everybody and anything except the obvious truth.

So it would appear Inflation didn't really hit until Biden became President.

What did Biden do that was wrong to cause high inflation?
 
It’s funny how, at the time, Trump haters said he didn’t do enough. Now he’s done too much.
 
Good job Biden. Another year or two and maybe we'll be back to where we were before you were President.
 
who was POTUS during the COVID shutdowns? I don't recall it being Biden.
Student loan forgiveness certainly helps those families.
Do you have a link showing how Biden costs 10 of thousands? the average income is only 63K per year so tens of thousands would most likely not be possible.

Correct, the economy Obama handed to Trump would be great.

Nobody in the US should be unhappy with the economy we've had for the past 40 years.

How was life four years ago for you today?
 
Why would they do that?
 
Biden assumed office in late Jan 2021. The pandemic was still in its first year.

The effects of the pandemic were just beginning to be felt.

Don't be an ass, "comprehension"... sometimes there is misfires in communication with doing so via keyboards. You don't have inflection, context may be confusing because the writer assumes the reader knows what they are saying etc.
It often can take a few back and forth messages before everything is understood.
To me, you sound like your are marginalizing daily purchase items. as to how much it is hurting people.
They may not be your intent, but given I am very-very use to it on a forum where 95% or higher members are liberal.

That is not calling you a name, that is saying don't be like that.
Yes, I am well aware that name calling is frowned upon significantly... however you can call someone a racist/sexist/homophobe all day and that is perfectly ok.

"Don't be an ass" sure does seem to fit the descriptor, "name calling".
 
If you are looking for it to be - sure.
Or I could do what everyone else does, accuse people of being racist/homophobes/misogynist/haters etc. etc.
For some reason that is ok. But say someone is silly - look out!
