Tell me how someone making 50k a year can afford:

Rent/Mortgage
Car Payment
Groceries

Basic necessities of life.

Wages sure as hell are not going up!

Do you believe Jay Powell says what’s he’s really thinking in these press conferences?

They have hundreds of people in a boardroom debating single word changes for FOMC releases

Truth here in TX. May be better in other states. But I can tell you under 75k is rough with kids. We are living in bizzarro world at this point.

Powell is full of shite. He knew in a mid-term year of 2022 that Biden's handlers gave him the greenlight to raise rates in a year where you normally don't see steady hikes at just about every single Fed meeting for that entire year...BECAUSE Biden was raiding the SPR monthly to artificially lower the biggest lifeblood commodity we have as a service based economy - O&G. Powell is not dumb, he knew the rubber-band effect this would have, but he was a good little puppet who only officially got nominated as the Fed Chairman in Nov. 2021 -- 11 months after Potato took office and declared all inflation to only be transitory.

I am low income. Saved up 24K for a new house. Pre-covid they were selling for about 60K... Now they are up to 225K... Tripled.

20 years worth of saving down the toilet in just a 3 years. Biden has destroyed the saving of us Boomers. Made it worthless.

All a freaking ploy dues to a biological weapon to destroy this economy in the USA and it did a great job.

I have trouble believing that there are Democrats that say Biden is doing a good job in this mess but there are.

Joe Biden is gonna have a hard time coming up with an incoherent argument as to why this is Trump’s fault.

It's kind of both of their faults, considering both signed off on trillions of government spending during COVID that had no economic productivity associated with it, resulting in the inflation we've been dealing with over the last three years.

Why either of these guys is a choice for President blows my mind.

The inflation we have experienced the last 3 years is BOTH Biden and Trump's fault. One started it the other kept the fire going.

turns out, gaslighting for 4 years doesn't magically fix the economy

It’s because most Biden voters are dirt poor or rich upper white middle class who only care about vibes because they aren’t effected by the economy

Unfortunately, both Millennials and Gen Z are shite at getting to know each other
