Bottom line is, all of y'all in media. Main stream or social. Will be fine. Y'all make millions a year. It's the average American that's gonna pay for trumps crazy ways.
Basically I'm learning, talk is cheap. Sure, Joe worked really hard for the certain things he got done. Weapons plan, chips act, lower drug prices. But those aren't general essentials for most Americans. And Kamala talked about more help for businesses. Especially small businesses. Tax credits for child care and leave pay. But once again, that's not a general essential for the average American.
Example. I'm living totally on SS. After the pandemic was winding down we got our yearly col raise. Cost of living. We got 3.5 %. All while prices rose around 8%. When you're already on your budget and prices go up 8% and you get a 3.5% increase. Your finding yourself paying 140 bucks a week, for what you used to pay 100 for. When you're on a strict budget, 40 bucks a week is 160 bucks a month. And when you're only getting 55 more a month. That's not equal to the 160 your spending. And no one, for Joe's full 4 years, really came thru to help. Yet the economy was booming. Profits for big business were the highest in years.
Maybe now you'll see why many,many people were disenchanted with poor Joe. He tried. But it sure seemed many of us didn't matter.
The problem is, trump, though meaning well,haha. Will probably do worse for us, low income and fixed income folks.
And don't forget. This is not money we don't pay into. It's financial insurance. Payed as we work each week or paycheck.
