    Spot on! The way Trump hounded Hillary Clinton and harassed her for years after he was elected for playing fast and loose with classified information was historic! :rolleyes:

    I don’t have any solution to the level of ignorance in our country, other than we need to ensure our own families are encouraged to pursue education and other worthwhile endeavors. We and our families are each responsible for our own economic situation. Self reliance is a vanishing value, unfortunately.

    RE: your list;
    Crime rate goes up and down dependent upon who reports or doesn’t report in addition to the actual number of crimes. Recent policies have at a minimum lead to the perception of more crime if not an actual increase. Reference Cali’s Prop 36.

    The economy is doing okay but not optimal. Fortunately, our US economy is big enough and resilient enough to withstand just about any stupid government or Fed influences, no matter which party is in “control”.

    Inflation was boosted by the huge spending bills that pumped too much money into the system (and cronies’ coffers).

    POTUS sure planned to affect gas prices by pumping down the strategic reserve, whether or not it actually did affect prices.

    Wasn’t someone just talking about the ignorant masses? This poor lady has serious economic lessons to learn. And IMHO we need more factory/trades jobs and less time wasted in schools after high school - not for everyone, but for more folks than we currently have entertaining those pursuits.

    if you have money in the market, i doubt you are the average maga voter.

    it is a sign of anticipation of greater corporate profits at the expense of the consumer or future taxpayers. see it for what it is.

    look for reits that use the apartment price fixing software currently being prosecuted to go up too. who need regulation when you can collude to raise rents? go team maga

    Please don't stop being you. Same goes for the rest of your arrogant, assuming party. The left's opinion of anyone who doesn't support their agenda is just one of the many contributors which led to the political bloodbath that we witnessed last night. So please keep it up.

    Her numbers may be hyperbole*, but Trumps policies are certainly inflationary and following RFK policy would lead to disease outbreaks and worse dental health.

    *Eggs as a specific commodity was prolly a bad example for her to use as the U.S. is a net exporter of eggs. So another Trump trade war might more likely cause a sudden glut of eggs if we get into another tit for tat with Canada.

    Nothing average about me. And no MAGA here, either. Me and mine, however, will be fine come what may…sans nuclear war. That old fashioned self reliance value has…well, value. I really don’t like high home and rent prices except that they increase my income in retirement. Unfortunately, it’s a shame that my kids might not be able to be homeowners until after my wife and I croak.

    Are you sayinng that all those 77% changed their minds? Flip-flopped on whether they thought the election was stolen? That's a pretty drastic swing, even Trump never admitted they lost but they all did? Imagine that. Seems then that 77% of Trumps voters don't know their own heads from their asses.

    Or maybe they didn't all change their minds. Which do you think is more likely?

    Meh. More skilled people is good, sure, but not at the expense of educating people. Your back is easily replaced in the world, your brain isnt. Doesnt have to be a tradeoff.

    Yeh, especially when there are so few ag workers that wages for them drop to pennies. She seems to have her supply-demand graph rotated incorrectly. Agree that prices could go up for imported items. Hopefully the long term result is us having more and strategic manufacturing capability here at home. Fortunately, I am in a position that a little more inflation for some items won’t affect me in a meaningful way. Other folks might have to wait to buy the next great phone or other frivolous expenditure. Setting priorities and living within one’s means is a vanishing art.

    You mean like those we educated so much so that they have to beg the federal govt to bail them out of their school loans. Fail. As someone who paid off my own loans and took extra years to graduate due to working my way through college I know that more school after high school isn’t for all, especially those that have to weave their way through the system and end up with a low value degree. A college degree undertaken for personal growth is fine, just pay your own way.

    That dude uses up too much space and says very little.
    At least you are succinct.
