    Don't you rubes worry! Joe Biden swore he would fix all of it and he's the absolute best the Democratic Party had to offer.

    That only shows the how specious is your post.

    We should go back to pre-Covid payments. The same people who were working then during that period of the lowest unemployment in modern history with incomes rising would be paying those taxes just as they did then. And clearly YOU do not know what is driving the demand that is driving the inflation, it is the same as any other inflationary times, government monetary and fiscal policy. We have HUGE amounts of products sitting off shore because of the Biden administration failure to deal with it, we have truck that aren't being driven because people can sit home and collect Biden bucks. We have TONS of products from China that can't get delivered and all Biden did was figure out a new way to count them but making them stay 40 nm offshore.

    So you admit it is only going to get worse? I have clearly showed you Biden's policies and how they have effected inflation and the economy and their effects.

    But according to the loyal opposition it's all Trump's fault and Biden the current President is helpless to do anything about it. Remember are the first Obama/Biden economic policies failed and they were left with "hey don't blame us it's not our fault" excuses?

    Seems Independents and Progressives who voted for Biden want Biden to deliver on his campaign promises which have nothing to do Trump, and according to recent poll numbers those same voters aren't very happy with Biden's lack of progress.

    Democracy you say? Isn't that the right to vote and to vote for what you believe in? If that is true then why is Biden trying to use his powers to get Manchin and Semana on board with his agenda? Isn't that more authoritarian than democracy?

    seems the only ones omplaining are the right

    I voted for Biden for one reason and one reason only, it was a vote against Trump

    Trump promised us he was gonna build and wall and Mexico would pay for it, they never did - failed promises

    False, Brandon has done far worse under the Pandemic than Trump. More have died under brandon as well.

    Everything brandon has done, has actually made things worse.

    The democrat response is to say lower your expectations and blame Trump.

    Didn't you get the news?

    Biden has tapped out on the China virus.

    He now says there is no federal solution.

    And his mandates are being cut down by the courts.

    When employers are begging for workers is no time for us to pay people not to work.

    Biden got an infrastructure bill passed during the Pandemic, Trump could not even get that done before the Pandemic

    Omicron has changed the game, so as for now.... this is true

    Omicron may give us some herd immunity

    nothing more Biden can do, he can't force people to get the vaccine

    we have yet to see what future variants have to bring to the game


    regardless, Trump's economy did not do well while dealing with the Pandemic, nor is Biden's - it's a worldwide pandemic, and we live in a global economy

    Brandon has lost more people to the pandemic despite having a vaccine, all while still pushing authoritarian mandates.

    He has destroyed the economy and emboldened our enemies.

    He has objectively made our country worse off than when he received it.

    he can't force Trump supporters to get the vaccine, if someone is unvaxxed at this point, that is on them, not Biden

    Its not just Trump supporters not getting the vaxx, though I am not surprised you think so. And regardless, we have more people dying despite having a large portion of the nation vaxxed under brandon than Trump which is astoundingly bad on his part.

    Brandon has just not done a good job leading at all. He has objectively made things worse.

    Nothing has changed, he simply lied about having a plan and is now tapping out because he is weak.

    He is no longer seeking a solution, and never was.

    Independents and Progressives are complaining. I watch a lot of CNN and MSNBC.

    Brandon said he would fix everything.

    Instead he's made everything worse.
