Obama wanted 5$ gas prices 10 years ago.

How much do you spend a month per child?


Not sure, other than about $2k/month per child for high school. Then I have a car note and insurance on one of them. Then all of the various activities.

Hey! Trump and the Reps haven’t fixed all damage we caused over four years in half that time


Who could have imagined shutting down the economy for a year would have negative consequences?

I remember how 70-80% happily obliged.

In addition, Trump plainly stated it for everyone:

quote:

President Trump is suggesting he might lift restrictions intended to prevent the spread of coronavirus if the economic pain from the measures becomes too great, tweeting that “we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.

“WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF,” Trump said in a late night tweet. “AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!”

It’s painful at first, but in the long run, Trump is right


The trade deficit came down substantially after "liberation day" (-$60b ish in April) and has been trending upwards ever since (like -$100b today).

The point, there's no evidence Trump will be right about this.

Dems would immediately eliminate most of the goofy Trump tariffs which would absolutely help.

Is that why Biden kept trumps tariffs? Dumbass

I think people's biggest issue is gas was around $2 a gallon and still dropping in the spring and then we half assed attacked Iran and they have been $4 a gallon for months with no evidence they will drop to what they were before in the foreseeable future.

So "liberation day" was really just "continuing Bidens policies" day?

I know you're probably a pakastani bot or something but good grief dude

I swear, all some of you folks think about is the current price of gas.

Seriously dude, you want me to send you some money so you can fill up your tank? I wouldn't want you to have to miss Grandma's birthday party.

you are SO STUPID, it really is unbelievable. When Covid first came about, we shut the damn country down, believing that it was the real deal. We had your party's hero Fauchi out there telling us about the SCIENCE. No one knew what the hell was going on. NO ONE on this planet leading this country would have done differently. Now your boy Biden, the party actually knew what was going on, and they knew their only chance to defeat Trump was to unleash the virus and destabalize the country and world. They had a plan all along. What the Biden administration did though was keep everything locked down. They wanted complete control and many believe it was a trial run. You are just a despicable person in life, clearly a misfit, an outcast, and you revel in misery and want everyone else to be as miserable as you. There is no other way to explain someone like you openly supporting communism.

So he did keep them. We agree, so how am I lying? Why do you ivory and roadgator call people liars constantly? Funny how you guys lie about all kinds of stuff and that’s your instant reply.

Ron Ricks is either a paid influencer here, or just an extremely low iq loser in life that wants everyone else to be miserable like him. Why else openly support communism. Dude is definitely a mental midget, but I guarantee a social outcast, a freak, and this is his 15 minutes of attention he so desperately needs.

Is better than an American openly and blatantly supporting communism. At least they aren't american. The dem posters on this board are all misfits, freaks, and this is their chance to be heard. They don't care at all that the country is being destroyed. They want it destroyed. They want everyone else to feel the misery that they do for being a loser.
