The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.

    I mean I keep saying they should stop sending weapons to Israel but none of my democratic reps will give me the time of day

        I said “nothing will fundamentally change” ironically paraphrasing Biden because quite a lot changed lol

        Also the statement that “the weapons shipments will continue” was more of an observation

          That is not all that you said. This is what you said:

          Nothing will fundamentally change, things will get 10% worse every year and the weapons shipments to the genocidal frontier will continue. Same as it ever was.

          So that was all a joke? Things could fundamentally change and things might not get 10% worse every year?

          Otherwise, seems like we all might as well give up.

              Now you’re lying. Biden didn’t say anything about a 10% change every year, better or worse, you did.

              You’re lying to avoid the questions: Were you joking, or will things get 10% worse every year? If so, why bother?

              (Also, just so you know, I could not give less of a shit who you vote for.)

              Now please answer the questions.

                Yeah I joked about the 10% worse, they just raised interest rates and all the warmongering lead to inflation (red sea bypass due to Israel and Russian oil getting cut off)

                Excuse me for remembering what happened in the last 4 years

                Also Biden ended the COVID unemployment payouts, boneheaded move because COVID numbers are higher than ever.

                They ended COVID administratively

                    Almost as funny as the Democrats “ending” COVID by cutting off payouts so people would “go back to work”
