Americans Skipping Meals To Afford Housing Under Biden: POLL

Nearly one in five homeowners and renters reported skipping meals to afford housing in Biden’s economy, according to a new survey conducted by Redfin. The median asking rental price increased from less than $1,700 when Biden took office in January 2021 to nearly $2,000 as of February, according to Redfin’s data.
Americans made other sacrifices to stay in their homes, with 20.7% reporting working more hours, 20.6% saying they have sold their belongings, more than one in six having dipped into retirement savings and 15.6% reporting that they’re putting off medical care to afford housing payments.
As of February, the median household earned $30,000 less than it would need to afford the median home in the United States, according to Redfin. When Biden took office in 2021, the median household earned thousands more than would be required to afford the median home.
The median home in the United States cost $417,700 as of the fourth quarter of 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Some states, like California, are even more expensive, with the median costing $675,667 as of January, according to Zillow.
As of April 6, an average of 57.8% of Americans disapproved of Biden’s handling of the economy, according to ReaClear’s aggregation of survey data. By contrast, 68% of Americans recall the economy being better under former President Donald Trump, according to a poll released by CBS News in March.

Why I've always said I had no clue why they fought to hard to win 2020. Had Trump had to deal with this, MAGA dies forever.

Well we all know how fat the average American is. This could be healthy.

Considering 42% of america is obese. I would say they need to skip meals.

And most of them are in debt up to their ears and probably were before things got tough.

Looking at the obesity epidemic in this country we have a lot of folks that should be skipping meals. This isn’t the ‘gotcha’ you think it is. We are a Nation of fat lazy obese gluttons who eat too much. These same folks drive up medical costs and expenses for the rest of us. frick them.

Between throwing trillions into the economy and the Fed raising rates at the fastest pace in history, this shouldn’t be surprising.
WSJ gaslighting this past week was funny. I’ll post a thread on it later when not on mobile.

We haven't skipped meals to save money. However, the wife and I haven't eaten in a restaurant since Covid and Biden. The prices at a decent sit down restaurant are ridiculous.

Silver lining - America is way too fat anyway. We took our baby girl to the Baton Rouge Zoo yesterday and the amount of grossly obese people there, including the children and teenagers , is outta control. Me and my wife are very fit people so we stuck out like a sore thumb
