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.

It reads like you just cut and pasted that out of an advertisement. It's what everyone that actually shops is seeing at the register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Thankfully, Thanksgiving dinner at home remains a bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could, of course, go the full Whole Foods lazy/expensive route and easily spend 4X what I did. https://sporked.com/article/whole-foods-thanksgiving-dinner/#:~:text=The Main%3A Oven Ready Turkey,having an unseen sous chef.

BillStime Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Do these MAGA nutters really think the economy would be any different today with Trump in charge? Heck - his super amazing economy required a bailout at the BEGINNING of the pandemic. And look how Conald left it. idiots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
