Are You better off today than 4 years ago?

Just got back from the new Reagan movie. Pretty good imo. Noted, I am a huge Reagan fan. His wisdom took me from a 3rd generation Dem to now voting mostly Republican.

A key line.... "Are you better off today, than 4 years ago?"

And for me, not close. As this admin has cost me over $37,500 in extra expenses these past 4 years with high grocery, insurance, gas & energy prices. Even had to dip into my retirement account a bit. That wasn't the plan. Way less vacations & travel.

I imagine this is the case across most American families. Hopefully reasonable people admit that, and vote accordingly.

Umm, four years ago we were in the middle of a raging pandemic. People were dying left and right and the economy was cratering.

I’ve seen you throw out this $30k something number before (this one is higher than other ones though, so call me even more skeptical), without of course quantifying it.

It’s such a shitty form of gaslighting that I’m mad at myself for even responding, let alone reading it. But at a bare minimum, pick a number and stick with it.

For the average family, Biden induced inflation costs the average family $17k/yr

BTW, thank you Donald Trump for the COVID vaccine that stopped the pandemic.

Found it funny that one of the board Dums on here couldn't understand why the cost of Bidenomics financial number I post is not the same number, BUT goes up over time as the expensive months go by. I am sure he wasn't trying to look like a dolt, but sometimes that is just hard to hide. LOL

I am, but that's because both me and my wife changed jobs.
Wife's old boss recruited her to her new company and made her an offer she couldn't resist. I converted over from a contractor, though my job could become very tedious if the Dems win the Whitehouse again since I work on those disgusting, dirty diesel engines.

So, I would put as yes, in spite of the current administration, not because of them.

Congrats. Hope it works out for both of you.
