Really? Not in Florida, and as far as I know Florida is still part of the United States. Macroeconomics could reinforce Biden jobs strong idea but to a deeper level is not good for millions of Americans still living paycheck by paycheck
That’s because corporations put the good economy straight into their own pockets. They kept raising prices and blamed inflation and uninformed Americans believed them. But numbers show that they made record profits last year at our expense 😞
Whatever strength our nation and economy has recovered due to Joe Biden's policies will be exploited and squandered by DT during the course of his upcoming administration.
Disinformation is the only reason his approval rating was so low... We know that. Unfortunately, 40% of Americans only get their news from those disinformation sources.
That's the funny thing about Texas (where I live) talking about seceding and MTG saying the South should leave. The red states are completely dependent upon the blue states to make up for budget shortfalls. Texas gets around $90 billion from the Fed annually.
Good old Joe, he fucked over Democrats. We will now have Thump reversing every good liberal policy.
Joe was our worst mistake yet. After Trump 45 we should have won the Presidency for two decades. But good old Joe fucked us over with the '24 election.
We must unite for '28 or Vance will win!
And future generations will not be able to read about this. Please save and keep safe your reporting for future generations to read at some point, hopefully, so they can see the truth of how American died.
Yet somehow those that benefited from lower drug prices, including a cap on insulin, a robust job market didn’t believe it or hear it because the GOP continuously complained about the price of eggs. Frustratingly, the Dem messaging didn’t get through/wasn’t aggressive enough to reach enough voters.
The Democratic party is really good at governing and making policies. They're not really good at letting you know that they're good at governing and making policies. republicans are good at nothing but take credit for everything.
The Dems need to start being a show-offs and taking credit. ThenMaybe
Isn’t it amazing that after the election, every news outlet is suddenly writing articles and headlines touting the amazingly great economy that Biden has presided over. As if it all went from awful to great in a month. It’s a miracle. #epicmediafail
Before the election all they did was talk about Bidens age,never a word about the clowns advanced age and obvious oncoming dementia. The media is very responsible for what happened !
So you didn't know all along that the economy was getting better every single month since the end of the pandemic? I mean I couldn't have known that without news/media outlets. It's not new news.
I knew, but many news outlets minimized it or “balanced” it with all the right wing complaints about grocery prices… And certainly, if you watch Fox all day, you would have no idea.
Yeah the balanced thing always shocked me. Like Nobody "balanced" coverage of Nixon. He did this thing, They accused of of this thing. They brought evidence of this thing. There was never a moment I can remember when anyone said, He was in any way innocent (???) I was waiting for Mash
My mother - all of my life my mother was this beautiful kind giving understanding woman. She's not dead - she's been taken. She's under their spell. Fox news - wall to wall. I knew it was over when she called Obama the N word. I screamed in her face. I was so shocked. Still makes me cry
I suspect the reason why Kamala Harris isn't president is either because people did not know this (though they were told constantly) OR people did not believe this. Whether you are still paying stupid amt for eggs IDK I never have - but it's less unless your store is price hiking.
NO matter what a shit hole MSNBC has turned into since the election they never suppressed this info I'm sharing. I know about it because they touted it day in and day out.
The Biden admin did/does not control the corporations that have been raising prices.
Too many of us want to buy everything pushed at us by non-stop advertising, and feel "struggling" when we can't.
We also gamble like crazy, and pay monthly for subscriptions we never use.
And budgeting-what's that?
Basically, the avocado toast argument. Price gouging, student debt, medical bills and profits over people that’s(part of) the problem. Let’s not blame people for paying for streaming services and buying things that give people simple pleasures to distract them from this miserable timeline.
I've been through many ups-an-downs in salary and inflation. The answer? Adjust one's budget accordingly.
(And I only referred to Unused subscriptions still being paid for. Rocket Money knows what it's doing with their app to find such and cancel.)
Just for example of what I’m referring to, you can’t budget medical expenses. I have only recently had some medical bills finally paid for after months of calling. Interestingly enough, they were paid in full three days after Luigi did his thing. 🤔
1/ You bring up uncontrollable events. My comments focused on known, regular expenses which are the cause of feeling one is "struggling," and for which the solution is budgeting on the basis of income and expenses.
EVERY American is a victim of a very bad health system:
....
as much as the stock market likes making money, they like a stable consistent government. it is easier for them to manufacture a problem to profit from, than to have unprofitable markets
I used to love Nancy. She's the biggest disappointment for me.
I do wonder how much the trauma of having her husband almost murdered by that crazy MAGA guy impacted her thinking. The whole thing was political malpractice and I'm surprised she didn't know better.
What’s funny is that the Biden-Harris admin financially helped more small business owners than ever before and those same business owners were interviewed after the election and they said they felt “hopeful about the incoming admin”. You’re about to be penniless, great job! 😃👍🏼
I don't think Lincoln would have done well in the age of social media either. Joe will have historical tomes written about him heavier than the Bible. God bless him 💞
Yes that will be part of his legacy... But the part he may not have foreseen is how he did almost nothing to stop this country from re-electing an insurrectionist and wannabe dictator
to the highest office in the country. His legacy will definitely be a mixed bag...
Did nothing? 6 million people who voted for him sat home rather than vote for Kamala. Which means they didn't really see a difference between her and Trump.
There's no reasoning with people like that. We have the incoming President that we deserve.
Biden & team did what they could and they did good.
The people griping about the price of eggs and want to take back America to "good old days" are & will be the people that gripe about things changing and progress is leaving them behind.
Amen… but in this chaotic world, lies and deception is taken in more easy than Truth and Facts? Alternative Facts are on the rise, and it seems so is pure Evil. At some point, we need the top minds to get together and figure a way to combat this cancer in a so called “Civil Society”.
None of the great things Biden did as president will matter if he fails now. He will either be remembered as the president who let fascism take over, or the president who saved us all from it.
But because of Trump and the sabotage of the GOP, no one thinks Biden did well despite dealing with Covid and Trump's incompetence.
The guy didn't even bother to show up to update Biden through the traditional transition process.
Biden went in cold and blind.
Truth, but this goes up against the tiny minds who judge all things by themselves, if their not good, nothing is good. I've done nicely, as have my investments, so have many others. It matters not to those who have missed out.
100% true but I believe the Democrats did not play upon this enough or other great accomplishments of his time in office. It’s clear that the fax would mean nothing to.MEGA but they may have turned to decided voters and there’s something that Democrats should hear and be proud of
I still believe and maybe I’m wrong but I believe there are far more Democrats/progressive/liberals in the United States than MAGA type people/or conservative people. I just believe there are more. I just also believe I’ve been way too lazy especially when it comes to voting. Should b plenty of $
Remember while she’s no lost she’s still out raised Trump. So it can be done. The money is there. And certainly without musk, jumping in so hard Republicans would have even less.
His company donated more than anyone else by far. But there are Democratic billionaires and millionaires do I think they’re equal a number they can look back to Obama the way he raised funds. Did it with sheer numbers with lower donations so I can be done.
Hi first when I use voice to text I should read it over before I hit send. It should’ve said I believe too many Democrats have been too lazy to vote. I vote every time. Anyway, do your question of course the Republicans have more billionaires and and musk by far either personally or through
Sorry I missed your post. I missed the respond button little slow on the uptake. But you’re right Democrats fault they should’ve been screaming from the mountain tops everything he did good created more jobs than three presidents combined.
He’s been doing a ton, actually. It’s not being reported on though 😔 for example, he banned drilling on federal land and did his best to make it to an executive order couldn’t overturn it
Yet people voted to make things worse for themselves - despite Republican efforts to hamstring Dems from making things even better, despite US faring better than others countries w inflation, despite successful efforts to bring that down, . . .
. . . and despite Republican policies causing half inflation (corp greed, stock buybacks, monopolies and oligopolies, price collusion). They voted for the dumb, fascist, puppet of Putin who surrounded themselves with oligarchs who said they would screw over the working class hard to "fix" things.
Biden’s legacy is genocide. He’s a monster and now more than ever I believe democrats and republicans are two sides of the same fascist coin. Dems didn’t even try to win this.
Going to spend the next 5 days recognising President Joe Biden for all he has done for the USA. Here and on the toxic site I’ll use my voice and keyboard to send Joe out in style and make sure NO ONE can take credit for the work Joe has done! Please join me!
#ThankYouJoe #Potus #thewhitehouse
So how on earth did he get fired by America? I didn't care that he stutters, or that he has some neuropathy in his feet. His brain is still working well enough to have the most robust economy in recent history.
‘So Joe Biden saw it through to the end. He finished the race: 48 consecutive months with strong job creation and sustained low unemployment, more people working than ever before. He set all kinds of records which should do two things: (1) Validate, even for the most skeptical observer….’
And literally the first thing I heard on NPR this morning was how his ratings aren't that great - although better than Trump - and how his legacy might not be that great. What bullshit! I know Repubs in particular don't know much re: all of what he's done, because of the firehose of lies.
And brought covid driven inflation under control, but grocery greedflation got him. Amazing how all the good is overshadowed by oligarchy social media and faux news lies.
I’m a dem and I think he and team did a good job at a number of things. But he will not be known as a great Pres. He left us all hanging in the 11th hour. Gave his VP no time to win an election. And he made it super easy for a felon to regain the White House. Not impressed.
You think the president controls these prices? Corporations are buying houses and increasing rent. Republicans voted NO on price gouging, inflation and lowering gas prices. But sure.. blame President Biden
Prices were increased by corporations and businesses. That’s how they raked in record profits last year. They blamed it on high inflation so they could keep doing it. All caused by greed and uniformed citizens
I’m not understanding. How could Biden have delivered that help? The profits are in the hands of companies, not the government. All the govt can do is try to influence inflation (which Biden did more successfully than anywhere else) and tax companies. But R’s block any attempt at that
HOW could Biden have addressed the exploitation of citizens by corporations?
He COULD have admitted "number go up" for stocks & GDP were not indicative of a strong economy, instead of insisting "everything is great, you're just too stupid to know it".
In the era of social media, half of American voters neither watch nor trust traditional media but instead believe in various conspiracy theories propagated by self-media. Figures like Trump and Musk excel at leveraging and promoting these conspiracy theories for their own benefit.
Thank you for that joe! Unfortunately too many Americans are too dumb to notice what he did. However Joe needed to do so much more before he left power, student loans Leonard peltier etc etc but thank you for the robust economy that Trump will surely destroy
In his defense, he tried many times to forgive student debt. It kept getting blocked by the courts so it’s been downsized from his originally intended pardon
Yes he did, except he never convinced the people (the voters} that they would gain from his policies! Maybe caused by his advanced age and obvious physical and mental shortcomings, all of which confirm the saying:"A President must look like a President"
Sure wish our MSM had done a better job of informing us 1) how good a job Biden was doing, and 2) what a disaster it will be having a budding fascist with a disregard for law and competence and decency back in the office—now accompanied by a stable of bad actors.
And he conveyed that good news to absolutely no one, which is why he lost the election, and why he should never have run for reelection in the first place.
Get off Joe's dick. His administration was demonstrably bad for the vast majority of americans and America itself on the global stage. The fact that the past 2 Republican presidents have been somewhat worse, is no reason to be on his nutz.
This is off topic, but I’m trying to spread the word. Please flood social media with MLK on Jan 20. No mention of the Inauguration, just MLK all day long. We choose whom to revere. Pass it on.
Yes, if he'd just raised the minimum wage, got the ERA ratified, and kept the orange turd out of an office he is grossly unqualified for. But he kept the rich getting richer.
He gets it done! We failed him because we enjoyed the luxury of a strong economy but complained about it. We’ll get the Trump crash and now really have something to complain about.
Agreed! Crying about the price of eggs while also living their best lives! Travel, entertainment, retail all at record highs. Manufactured fear was what tRumps campaign ran on
Yet I was underpaid during my 4 year tenure and have been unemployed for a year since my job was eliminated in the US and outsourced to India. Tell that lie to someone who gives a damn.
Again: wages and high prices are caused by corporate/company greed. They chose to set their prices higher. That’s how they raked in record profits last year while the rest of us struggled. They choose to outsource for cheap labor. That is their fault
The economy was extremely profitable last year. That is a fact. But the billionaires hoarded it instead of lowering prices or raising wages. The only way for us regular people to see any of that profit is through taxes, minimum wages or laws against gouging. R’s make sure we have none of those
Dude. I understand what you're saying, I just disagree. I don't own stocks or bonds. I don't own property. I pay very little in taxes. I was living paycheck to paycheck. 50% of my net pay went to pay rent. When I was on unemployment it became 75% of my benefit. I'm poor, very very poor.
Now the media celebrates this? There was a stat where 70% of R voters thought we were in a god damned recession- illiteracy in reading and logic abounds
Except for the 60-70% living paycheck to paycheck. Or the increases in medical debt, personal debt, hunger, poverty, and homelessness. So yeah, but not including that . . .
Wouldn't it have been great if media had been telling people this the last 3 years instead of boosting Covid Don the price doubling con for their billionaire owners?🤔🤔🤔
Only to have it tanked again by Trump. I give this horrid Trump administration 6 months in watch all your retirement savings evaporate. But the price of eggs .
I love you Joe! But Intrulybeish you had stuck with your plan as a one term POTUS. I just don’t think we would have the next POTUS be a felon. We failed the test. I’m so deeply worried for our country.

Do we know if those rich dem donors didn’t play you (and other dems) so donald could be elected?
You once represented us working class folks 🤬

Joe Biden needs to remember he has complete immunity, control of seal team 6, and a country to protect. HE SWORE AN OATH!

If this is the best, ever, then why are so many suffering?
Because not once has any neoliberal corporatist DONE anything. Not even admit these realities ARE the US economy.
If you weren't top wuintile- you'd KNOW this stuff. You'd know the great economy was only working for the top.
And, you wouldn't pretend things are great.
They aren't.
When did y'all plan to help the bottom 50%?
Help with what? The economy is great!!
Pfft.
HOW could Biden have addressed the exploitation of citizens by corporations?
He COULD have admitted "number go up" for stocks & GDP were not indicative of a strong economy, instead of insisting "everything is great, you're just too stupid to know it".
Maybe?
The Titans of Wall Street!
No checks and balances.
They have the blessings of Citizens United!
GREED causes the suffering.
GREED WILL NEVER PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!
They guarantee their boy in the WH by buying those who can make it happen.
MANY do & will SUFFER!
Alas, that ship has sailed.
get to work …
lest we lose our very #histories & #herstories …
jobs, jobs, jobs
We threw it away.
Higher costs for open hate. That’s the bargain.
The oligarchs will siphon off the rest of the wealth using this Divide and Conquer” tactic.
FAFO 🤷🏻
Fox didn’t.
Remember: Biden ran to make FFOTUS, 45, a 1 term dictator.
Time for new leadership folks. Status quo has go to go!
I’m still amazed he hasn’t been sued constantly for fraud or slander.
And thus he will continue to vilify others and engage in stolen valor, credit etc
