The people that you say are living check to check under Biden were living check to check under Trump. Trumps corporation tax cut did three things. 1. Helped the 1%. 2. Increased Stock buy backs. 3. Increased the one year Federal budget deficit.
Inflation was mostly caused by supply chain problems due to the pandemic that Trump mishandled. Trump did very little to control the spread. He did not believe in testing and isolating the positives. Thus, in the early going an infected person who was asymptomatic was not identified and infected everyone else. (Just as Dr Birx).
Inflation has gone from 7% down to 2% under Biden. Biden has created more jobs or more jobs have come back than any other president. The last time the unemployment has been this low for this amount of time "Bonanza" was the number one rated television show in "prime time television".
The reason people can't buy homes is because the Closeing Costs that the lending bank charges are so high. I know I just closed on a $225,000 condo in North Dallas. Getting a conventional mortgage cost an arm and a leg. Try talking to "Rocket Mortgage" The guy runs it owns the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team. They are the worst. Yet they claim to write so many mortgages.
What do you mean "people can't afford health insurance"? Group health insurance from the employer is the cheapest health insurance there is. Most workers are getting that like around 260 million people. 92 percent of the population has some type of health insurance (1. Group health insurance thru the employer 2. ACA (Obamacare only 40 million people get this). 3. State Medicaid signed into law by LBJ in 1965). There is 8% of the population in the USA that don't get any of the three just mentioned.
Price of gas went up mainly because Putin invaded the Ukraine. 92 Octane spiked to $5.25 a gallon in North Dallas. It's around $3.85 a gallon right now. Shell and Chevron are more expensive than the Q-Trip or Racetrack gas stations.
Biden had a bad night. What really stood out is when Biden said he finally beat Medicare. I still can't figure out how he got there after preparing for two weeks at Camp David. He really lost his train of thought with that debate point.
Bottom line for me is there are two republicans I will never vote for president, Donald Trump and "lying" Ted Cruz. I would take Bush43 for a third term over Trump and Cruz. We all know what happened with Bush43.
