We sold our second car. We also drive less. And fast 1/2 day one day a week. I'm in CA, here the gas is 5 dollars per gallon. It might be 6 around Easter. Not good.
Anyway, people will still vote for Biden/democrats here. We'll see next year the elections for midterm. The democrats will probably win again.
The radical Libs will vote Dem even if gas is $100/gallon. Proof? Detroit still has a Dem Mayor...in his 2nd term, and the city has been decimated by Dems for 70+ years...lost 60% of its population since 1950.
The moderate Dems will ditch the Dems, unless abortion is a huge issue for them. Then, they may vote Dem again, or may stay home.
Indy's will ditch Dems, unless abortion is big to them.
Pubs will retake the house, but not the Senate in 2022. In 2024, Pubs will be in complete control again, & unwind what is being done now.
The high inflation we have now is mostly felt by the bottom 50%. I dont think many of them are here in this forum, so we are not getting a clear picture of the pain that is being felt by 1/2 of Americans, who live paycheck to paycheck.
Biden handlers' attack on the energy sector, and paying workers to stay home, poured gas on the fires caused by shutting down the economy, in a gross over-reaction to covid by gov't. Feds caused this entire mess.
The feds can't slow inflation by raising interest rates (as they normally do) because it would cause the interest payments on our enormous debt to skyrocket. Soon, interest will cost us more than national defense...another enormous mess the Feds got us all into.
Are you aware that the multi-trillion dollar Covid response was signed by Trump? Are you aware that the Trump admin, even prior to Covid, was running record high deficits in a supposedly "booming economy?"
Well, if you heat your house with natural gas, you're going to feel a pinch there. Groceries are much higher and my gasoline budget doesn't fill my tank anymore. All of these realities for middle class Americans can be mapped back to Biden admin policies and actions.
If they close Pipeline 5, there will be Americans who freeze to death this winter. The Biden admin doesn't care. They'll use Covid to take your freedom and if that ever dies down, they will replace it with climate change.
It's awesome for the rich if they have multiple properties under Brandon Administration.
It's not so good if you are first time home buyer or only own one property and wants to upgrade to a bigger or newer property/home
I wouldn't want to be a first time homebuyer now either, but if home values were flat or declining, would you be praising Biden?
If they were rising when Trump was in office (which they were), would you be criticizing him because of it becoming more expensive to buy a home, especially with the stagnant wages that have existed?
Somehow, I'm guessing not.
