This is why the US government needs to balance the budget.



Need to balance the budget, period. But, these wimps in Europe fail to understand that Japan and the Middle East countries would step in to support the US thereby making Europe even more irrelevant. NATO would be dead. As usual, the strong will survive during hard times and the weak will become much weaker.

It is interesting how people cherry pick the data they report. Yahoo announced high job layoffs October on Nov 6 and predicted a market sell off. On Nov 6 the Dow was 46.987. Today it is 47,783.

If you actually read the articles, there are headwinds in retail, tech and pretty much everywhere. Mismanagement and record deficits under Biden and the Dems who controlled him are part of the problem but technology is changing the job market. Maybe we don't need all the immigrants that the Dems illegally invited into the US.

Icky will repetitively ***** and moan 100 percent about Trump, but man is he doing some great under the radar things. Yo Icky - if you weren’t 100 percent negative about Trump, I would let you know I actually agree with you on a few Trump negatives. But, you are irrationally stuck on stupid

Years ago, I advised all here to carry NO credit card debt, beyond your monthly statement $ amount & due date on your statement.

Since then, I followed what I preach and have accumulated over 100,000 rewards miles thru usage and bonuses !

The last time I was about this high, Mary Anne and I flew First Class round trip from Newark to New Orleans and rented an SUV, all on miles ! Visited my 2 Sisters in St Francisville Parish.

OT- Dash Cam. A car was driving in Florida at dusk when suddenly a small airplane (with engine trouble) tried to land on the freeway but instead landed on top of a Toyota. Imagine being in this car and seeing a plane descending out of the sky and land on the car in front of you. Crazy, weird, scary, not sure how to describe it. No major injuries but I guess I need to get a dash cam so I never miss a thing.

The cost of everything skyrocketed the last 4 years, we added at least 10 million people (more borrowers), and interest rates went up.

Dems wanted to take away the tax cuts, which would have put much of the country in an even worse position.

That’s not at all what the story said. LOL
Beaten Wife Syndrome. You just can't leave us because you love being wrong so much.

Yes, potency down BECAUSE drug inflow is being addressed much to the chagrin of people like you who love drug runners over your fellow Americans.

Derangement is strong with you Sicky.

Australia just implemented a social media ban for kids under 16 and 77% of people in Australia support it in a survey. I'm not surprised that governments are trying this but kids are smart and if they have access to the internet and cell phones they will find ways to get social. They also haven't banned YouTube type sites, which can have a lot of similar content to social media.

The post you shared had literally nothing to do with the news clip it was attached to.

The rest of this post is just your usual nonsense.

Which is it? Is this Biden’s economy or Trump’s A+++++ economy? It switches by the day.

I’ve always known that the first couple years of a Presidency is impacted by the prior admin. You know this too. I guess I’m the only one on here that is consistent in thinking that you have to give an admin a couple years to see if their strategy is working.

A lot of people have high debt because they are paying medical expenses. Apparently, people don’t understand this. Too bad ACA didn’t fix that, it just made it worse. Apparently, people don’t understand that higher housing costs means people have to go into debt for other necessities.

Apparently, most people don’t understand things that are incredibly obvious to a small % of people.

Totally agree. Did the posters here afford Biden the same grace the first two years of his administration?

MAGA loves to take credit for any wins, but the loses are always someone else’s fault.

This is great news. Less young people dead. More families intact and with hope for a future. It would take a morally depraved person to laugh at this post.
I laughed because if you listen to the clip it has absolutely nothing to do with reducing deaths. Just more juicy brain rot intended to bait you.

Filled up at $1.99 this week. Been a very long time since I could say that.
Our gas is way down also.

I remember you mentioning coffee being up. Just wanted to let you know, I asked my favorite local diner what kind of coffee they use, as I love it. It is Kirkland medium roast ground. I bought some and it is very, very good. Not expensive at all.

I would add the interest on the debt is always a higher number for the next POTUS, also.
