re: Matt Walsh on affordability

and somehow everyone on the road has a nicer car than me, and I make over six figures.

lets just hope the change promised is believable and viable.

It’s easy to only see the nicer cars, especially if you’re not in a nicer car

I agree with him, but all the nerds crying about it now when it's only been a few months... but said NOTHING about the four years under Biden, when it was worse, and even lashed out at people who were mentioning it, can STFU.

This thread proves his point.

Half the posts are looking to lay the blame at someone's feet.

The reality is that it is a major problem, especially for the young. The GOP needs to offer solutions or we will see more and more people latch on to socialism as the answer.

If only one party acknowledges the problem and offers solutions(even if those solutions won't work), don't be surprised if people vote for it.

That and the tariffs and war have made it 10x worst.

Second term trump had a chance to have a booming economy just by luck. He comes in at the data center and AI stock boom...all he had to do was just sit on his arse and not do anything. Instead he shits on it with the tariffs and then the war. Insanely incompetent. Meanwhile he and his fam and elbow deep in inside trading and kickbacks. Its a fricking joke man.

In our current economic system, people who own appreciating assets will generally pull ahead of those who do not. The practical lesson is to become an asset owner whenever possible. If you're not investing you are dooming your long-term financial success.

At the same time, asset owners should recognize that much of their prosperity is supported by the labor and spending of people who may still be struggling. That should encourage compassion, support for responsible monetary policy that limits damaging inflation, and—especially for business owners—a willingness to share more of the value created with the employees who help create it.

We are out of whack (the spread is too big) because of government spending.

Check what it was the first quarter after Trump took office. It went down. The muh price of eggs that libs started complaining about literally two days after he was inaurgurated, immediately went down. Iran is what is driving prices up now. It's been four months. The gas prices are temporary. I don't like it it but I'm going to give Trump the benefit of the doubt over pricks like Biden, and all the commies in the Democrat party. You want to see inflation REALLY go up again, put Democrats back in power.

Go ahead.

We should elect Bernie so he can get all the awlygawks money and solve all our problems.

You will need a deflationary bust like a great depression to reset things. It’s coming, but they will patch things as long as they can( both sides)
