53 million people are expected to travel during Thanksgiving - up 80% from a year. Ago. 50 million plan road trips in spite of high gas prices. Economists are expecting the most holiday spending ever. We've got toilet paper! Please stop with the doom and gloom. By every measure except fake news fueled perception this is a strong economy and a rapidly recovering nation.
so even when left-leaning media points out inflation, it's fake news?
OMW that is rich. Aren't you the poster who is constantly cheering on illegal immigration? A direct violation of American laws, and a known cause for hurting middle/low income Americans? How patriotic do you actually consider yourself to be when you not only turn a blind eye to the effects illegal immigration cause for American citizens but actually champion it?
Bravo, nothing but the truth about that poster! Glad I'm not the only one calling attention to his anti-America stances while he has the nerve to preach to us about wanting to stop this madness and to return to the rule of law and the best interests of this country and its citizens? How does that not represent American ideals? You'd either have to be blind, deaf or in a coma not to admit that what is going on in this country today does not represent American ideals and in fact will destroy them.
And your point is? I have no control over it one way or another. I did my duty by paying into SS for over 50 years. Are you suggesting that those of us who live longer than others start refusing their SS? I think you just like go argue and play both sides of the aisle and that is why I rarely reply to you.
you said it's "your money". "Your money", at the rate the Gov't "invested it" will run out long before you die.
How old are you? I'm 55 and knew by age 23 that I couldn't "retire" on SS.
And I've said I am all for the "safety net" - be that "you" or any wage-earner/laborer of modest income who either worked somewhere without a retirement savings plan or pension.

I'm waiting patiently for Joe's updated "here's how much your holiday meal will cost", ala his 17 cent savings for 4th of July.

FYI, not that it's any of your business but I have two 401-ks and other substantial incomes such as a pension but I'm not suppose to collect on the SS that I paid into for over 50 years? Because of my income I have to pay taxes on my SS also. If you don't like the system then seek change to it but don't attack others for following the system in place! Now go away, you're annoying as hell as you like playing both sides all the time.
Eventually we will begin to rebuild this nation and be more cogniscent of the CRAP we elect to office and the garbage we allow to run these private sector companies. This country has been going down the toilet since the 80s? You cant let things go to hell for decades, let a small portion of the elitists to operate with a blank check forever without expecting to pay the price in the end

Bah! We have 10 million open jobs and 8 million potential applicants. Illegals aren't taking anyone's job from them. To a large extent our immigration system is the free market at work. It does a pretty good job of matching workers to needs. While, like most, I would prefer a more ordered system, it would likely not do as well in that regard with the government determining who to admit.
