Fact: most blue states pay more in federal taxes than they receive in federal spending while most red states receive more in federal dollars than they pay in taxes.

People are getting sick and tired of being lied to by the Trump Administration telling them that this is the greatest economy in the history of the country, they bought it for a few months because they thought well trickle down will happen I'll get mine soon, and then they realize they're not getting any and either is anybody else.

Gas is over 4 bucks a gallon again, just think of all those billions of dollars we spent in the last 5 months on gas prices, and guess what, you don't get any of that money back, you burn that up it's gone it's never coming back. All for nothing. People are getting pissed.

The U.S. economy under President Donald Trump’s second term is currently experiencing a period of stalled progress, high public disapproval, and policy-driven inflation.

Yikes.

That poll that says it all.

And to think, the Left's campaign platform for the midterms is "affordability" and "get Trump."

As well as its far left, radical Democrat Socialist of America agenda:
Economic and Social Goals

Healthcare: Guarantee free universal healthcare and reproductive care.
Housing: Build public social housing and set rent controls.
Labor: Establish a 32-hour work week and strengthen unions.
Environment: Enact a Green New Deal.

Government and Structural Changes

Elections: Publicly finance elections and abolish the Electoral College.
Congress: Abolish the Senate and expand the House of Representatives.
Leadership: Replace the President and Supreme Court with leaders chosen by Congress.
Immigration: End ICE detentions and deportations, and grant voting rights to noncitizens.
Sad, really.
My shit don’t stink.

Trump promised to lower mortgage rates, but the 30-year rate remains stuck near 7%.

The situation may get worse this year for homebuyers as analysts predict persistent inflation could lead the Fed to tighten monetary policy.

MAGA 😂


I got locked in at 3.1 in 2022 thank you, Joe Biden

Gas is a little high, but that’s the result of the conflict in the Middle East. Still gas is no where near as high as it was under Biden.

Funny, our friends on the Left weren’t having a temper tantrum over the cost of gas then…moreover, everything was higher, gas, energy, food, interest rates, etc.

In fact, during the Biden admin, the economy was so bad, that retirees had to go back in the workforce because their social security could no longer keep up with the cost of living.

Oh well, hopefully our friends on the Left will be able to make it to work on Monday, that is if they can scrap enough loose change to put some gas in their car.

Sad, really.

According to Schwab, the labor force participation rate has given up all gains since February 2021.

Care to show your work?

Long term labor force participation for adults age 65 and older has been on a gradual upward trend since the 1990's due to demographic aging and shifting societal norms, making single administration attribution inaccurate. No comprehensive federal data or labor economics research shows that retirees returned to work (unretired) at a systematically higher rate under Joe Biden compared to prior administrations like those of Donald Trump or Barak Obama.
