Can Americans afford vacations anymore?
You don’t know what you are talking about. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/cpiw.html Jan 2021. 255.296 Jan 2025. 311.172 311.172 - 255.296 =55.876 55.876/311.172=0.2188. Or 21.88 percent. Which means under Joe Biden prices increased by 21.88%. Which means your purchasing power is reduced. One poster rebuttable was the market went up. So what? That does not change the fact that your purchasing power is down. Posting data from the fed does not change the fact that people’s purchasing power was reduced by 22% under Joe Biden. You need to stay in your swim lane. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2024/06/20/americans-buying-power-shrinks-more-report/74141192007/ Over the past five years, 97% of occupation’s salaries have failed to keep up with inflation, said personal finance platform Moneywise, which analyzed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Federal Housing Agency (FIFA) and Redfin to find out how salaries have kept up. It found average salaries have fallen 8.2% as home prices rose an average of 56%

It took Dems less than 3 months to turn into Domestic Terrorism
Years ago, the Democratic Party was NOT crazy. In fact, the Democratic Party of yore was one which resonated with me and other HIGH IQ people in the USA... And, the Republican Party was full of the dumbest ones. But now, things are shifting, and the High IQ members have become, or will soon become, Republicans.

This A-hole is rooting for an American business to fail. Telsa has over 120,000 employees. He needs a kick in the nuts.

The real source of debt and deficit is excessive government spending. If you look at the spending graph, you will note that spending went up during COVID-19 and never returned to the old baseline. Looking at the revenue graph, you will see that in 2022, Joe Biden recorded revenues and still had a considerable deficit. This was because he and the Dems kept on spending after COVID ended. Note that revenues tanked in 2023 and 2024 under Joe Biden. The USA will continue to have huge deficits if the current spending levels are maintained.

Hello fellow boomers. Just say thanks.
1) Not fighting in wars is a good thing. 2) There are huge disparities between the early and tail end boomers. https://crr.bc.edu/great-recession-cut-late-boomers-retirement-wealth/ https://moneywise.com/real-estate/real-estate/american-boomers-becoming-homeless-at-an-alarming-rate Sure, the group holds about half of all U.S. wealth — with much of it tied up in real estate — but it’s mainly attributed to older boomers born between 1946 and 1954. Younger boomers, on the other hand, are increasingly sliding into homelessness — a problem, experts say, is rooted in major events that took place as they entered adulthood.
