B-Man Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Joe Biden's Latest Economic Speech Was So Bad, Your Palm Will Meet Your Face The White House just keeps on trotting out Joe Biden, and he just keeps on giving speeches that will make you want to gouge your own eyes out. Imagine being told over and over that pigs can actually fly, with no amount of evidence changing the narrative. That's what it's like to listen to any messaging coming out of the Biden administration. Things kicked off after Biden landed in Minnesota, where he took the short stairs off Air Force One because we have a president who can't be trusted to use the normal airstairs literally every other president has used. It's fine, though. Just pretend like you don't notice. Pretty soon, it was time for another riveting speech on "Bidenomics," perhaps the worst political marking scheme in modern history. Prices are up nearly 18 percent since Biden took office and interest rates are so high no one can buy a house! Amazing! Every time I hear the president go on about Bidenomics, I want to slowly press my palm to my face. It's such an insult to hard-working Americans who are struggling right now. This is an economy that has left almost no one better off than they were pre-COVID. Savings rates have declined, wage increases have not kept up with inflation, and buying anything on credit is just about the dumbest decision you can make. That all adds up to stagnation. Normal people can't get ahead because property investment was once the safest and smartest way to grow wealth. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2023/11/01/joe-bidens-latest-economic-speech-was-so-bad-your-palm-will-meet-your-face-n2165804 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really cant imagine the poor and fixed trying to live with this BS I don't know where she's shopping. I was impressed by how cheap everything was. Turkey: with supermarket online coupon, Butterball for 75 cents a pound. 17 pound turkey was about 13 bucks. Other stuff is pretty cheap. Apparently canned cranberry sauce is up. Why does anyone use canned cranberry sauce? I got two pounds of fresh cranberries for about 6 bucks. Just add sugar and water and heat. So much better than the canned stuff. Stuffing? What? Stale bread or store bought mix. Potatoes? What kinds of potatoes are people buying? Maybe 3-4 bucks a pound. Costco pumpkin pie is ridiculously huge for like 7 bucks. Add it all up and you'll easily feed 8 people for maybe 6 bucks apiece. I'm having fewer people this year which means plenty of leftovers to make myself one more dinner and a few sandwiches.

Everyone by now should know that the major supermarket chains always offer a coupon deal on turkeys before Thanksgiving. For me, inflation is most evident in the cost of eating out.

It simply isn't "expensive" to make Thanksgiving dinner unless you're doing something unusual that most Americans don't do. Again, you can buy a free range Whole Foods turkey for nearly $100. My Butterball was $13. Thanksgiving foods are not elite foods. They are wholesome/relatively cheap foods. I won't argue with you if you want to tell me that the cost of a decent steak dinner for four at a restaurant has shot up in price. Thanksgiving?

Unforgiven Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 8 bucks for a smaller box of cereal with 30% air tells me everything I need to know about the economy. The government and their corporate allies came up with this scheme to rob Americans. Not to mention the deficit has obliterated the dollar. Its about as useless as toilet paper. 1 dollar equals about 50 cents now post covid. Maybe less. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defend it because, from my own experience the last couple weeks, it was easy to feed six people for about 60 bucks. And since there's a lot of leftovers, I'd go with 10 people for 70 bucks. This is McDonald's, or these days, maybe less. EDIT: I see the usual eyerolls and laughs from the usual suspects. But so far no one has told me how much THEY spent on Thanksgiving, and what was on THEIR tables.

I will go with regular prices on low end basics since I went to two separate stores for my materials to make sure I was getting good deals and if my effort is required then the WH is truly insane: 12 lb turkey $18 6 lbs of potatoes $6 2 lbs of butter- sweet potatos and regular potatoes and breas $8 6 lbs sweet potatoes $8 Brown sugar- $2 Pecans for sweet potato topping $5 2 loaves of bread for stuffing $6 Broth for stuffing $4 Celery- $2 Onions-$2 4 lbs of green beans $8 Half gallon milk for potatoes $3 Gravy- $6 spices for everything- $4 desserts pumpkin pie- $5 store bought home made cookies- $7 home made pie- $9 which does not include the appetizers, which was not my domain. the argument that it is reasonable to be under $60 if you are frugal is insane. I do not have Mac n cheese here, or collared greens, or any other meat. The WH statement is only accurate if you do the bare minimum. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 36% of voters in a new Wall Street Journal/NORC survey said the American dream still holds true, substantially fewer than the 53% who said so in 2012 and 48% in 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
