These people need to learn to communicate.

Are you better off than 4 years ago

Indies: 28%


What does that even mean?

28% think they're better off so 72% say not better?
100% say they're 28% better?
28% answered the question but he won't tell us the answer?
28% of what he just said gets lost in translation?

I guess all those people were better off and they just didn't realize it.

The cumulative inflation from 2020 to 2024 has been 21.8%. That's still high, but less than half of what it had been leading up to the 1980 election, and less than the cumulative inflation rate of 26.1% for Reagan's first term.


Pure BS!

The real cumulative inflation over the past 4 years is closer to 30% when all inflation is included and not the cherry picked crap the illegitimate regime is using to deceive the American people.

Prices always go up. Inflation averaged about 2% per year for the first 3 years of Trump's presidency. Prices were up, does that mean your economic position declined? Probably not.

Inflation has averaged about 5.5% per year over the last 4 years. My investments earned about 12% per year over the same time span - not to mention my property values. My value has therefore gone UP over the last four years, even correcting for inflation.

Stuff is more expensive, but I have more money.


Okay say you don’t have properties, a thriving stock portfolio, and a well paid job ? Like a lot of young people trying to start a career, family, and marriage. Do you think the ridiculous inflation might affect them? If you don’t, come see me so I can kick you in the balls.

Honestly it doesn’t matter the party. This is ridiculous and your condescending attitude deserves an arse whipping. The future of this country is struggling to get off the ground, in a lot of cases, through no fault of their own. The federal government is strangling its own citizens. Why? Well it can’t be for any good reason.

Inflation cut into your gains and you’re happy cause you made money?

I never said that, I said I'm better off today than I was 4 years ago. It's been that way every election day for me since since 1980. I'm sorry for making money, but I don't even consider myself very financially savvy. But NASDAQ, DOW, S&P 500, Russell 1,000 have all beat inflation over the last 4 years. I even have 5-year CDs earning >5%.

I've tried to answer everyone's responses to my posts, but I got a "post count" warning, so I guess I'll just have to leave it here.
