Remember when gas was 1/2 price of what it is today

Average in the US is $3.50. The last time that gas was half of that was January 2009... but of course, that's not allowing for inflation.


groceries 30% less

I can't find updated data on this, but the BLS shows that groceries went up 6.3% in 2019-20, 6.6% in 2020-21, and 8.4% in 2021-22. What time period are you imagining?

https://www.bls.gov/opub/re...2/home.htm

Housing 70% less

The average sales price of a new home in 2023 was $511,100. The time that it was 70% less was around 1990... but again, that's not adjusted for inflation.

insurance 40% less

Too vague here... what kind of insurance are you talking about?

medical expenses 30% less

Out of pocket medical expenses today average $1425 per person. It was 30% less in 2011...

https://www.healthsystemtra...nged-time/

inflation 9% less

This one doesn't make sense. So far in 2024 the rate is 3.0%. In 2023 the inflation rate was 3.4%, in 2022 it was 6.5%, 2021 was 7.0%, and 2020 was 1.4% (during COVID).

https://www.investopedia.co...ar-7253832

9% less than today's 3% is 2.7%... which happened in 2009. Surely you don't mean -6%? Because that would be more akin to the Great Depression...

illegal immigration population 10 million less

We have an estimated 11.0 million undocumented immigrants in the US right now.

The concept only became in issue in the 90s... you'll remember that Reagan supported completely open borders. So the first estimate in 1990 was 3.5 million.

To my knowledge, we've never had that low of a number.

crime 30% less

The US crime rate has gone down just about every year since 1991, and I can't find any time that it was 30% less than it is today...

What ya wanna bet ? Only rime and history will tell..Bet Joe will be remembered as one of the greatest presidents and Mooron will be long remembered as the worst..The hi-jacking of what was once a honorable party will probably not be forgotten..Mooron will be long remembered for some of his statements and actions both..For me first and foremost is blatantly saying of our fallen heroes "Just a bunch of losers and suckers" Really ? The most lies ever told by a president..Most days spent playing golf ..Oh he said "I'll probably just give up golf I'll be so busy working for the American people" Yeah..Right..Gonna build a wall and Mexici is going to pay for it ? The list and lying goes on and on..And there's probably enough women mad to keep the piece of crap out of Washington..May he spend the majority of days left in one court room or the other...What goes around even if it takes time usuall comes round don't it ? NO..We ain't going nack..Mooron and project 2025 will ne long remembered for all the wromg reasons...And already saying "there will be a bloodbath if I lose" He does'nt mind a bit as long as it's someone elses dors he ? January 6th...Those "tourists" did everything to overthrow our government...And promises to pardon them if he wins ? Careful c*ckwombles ? Your ignorance is showing and the world is laughing

Our credit went to hull when SOMEONE, and it wasn't Biden borrowed $8.7 trillion. Got any better lies up your sleeve?

Gandy, oh we will go back, way back to early 30's. When CNN trashes a democrat economic plan, it has to be bad, real bad. I know you have ears or can read so tell me what you like about her plans? Moving the corporate tax rate to 28 percent when the economy is t**ting would be devastating. Not t**ting? Tell that the employees who are losing their jobs. Look at Lowes and Home Depot economic forecast. Go back to 2016 when Apple, a left leaning company, had 200 billion overseas but wouldn't bring it back because of taxes. Stock market will be stagnant and companies will go bankrupt. You don't care, you better because taxes come from the companies not to mention people's 401k. So I look at it, and see people's retirement and social security gone. So when Kamala starts talking about this perfect utopian society, ask where the money is coming from? Printing more money causes inflation. The dollar has lost its value, Moody's downgraded US credit and Saudi Arabia no longer has the US dollar as its prime currency. This all happen under the Biden administration. Here is your chance for you and all of your democrat friends to tell us where the money is going to come from to pay for all these plans? Corporations-no, profits flat and shut down, Billionaires and millionaires-no, assets can be transferred like the Biden's 20 off shore accounts or simply using loopholes, poor people-no, 40 percent don't pay taxes. Who does that leave?

Kamala and Stormy got their start the same way.

and the voters saw the defund the police , and open borders crowd need LOTS of police and walls so they could feel safe .

Chicago... where all the policies they push on us are already implemented .

How's that working out for the citizens of Chicago.

Lots of dead black kids. many grieving mothers .

Only a worthless mush brain is fooled.

W hat a mess . full of lies.

biden saying he created the greatest economy in the world while people are usin g credit card to buy food..

making speeched about protecion children while offering free abortions just outside.

Kammie has spent a month trying to distance herself from biden. And biden makes a speech that ties her to him in every disastrous policy . She cast the deciding vote that caused the inflation.

So many corrupt lying mush brains under one roof.

And of course the lying mush brain that started this thread think what he saw last night was true and wonderful.

However the millions who can't afford food know it was all lies .

Look at the expressions on kammie and tim's faces while biden is on chaining her to him in all things ,all over again.

and she has worked for a months to get rid of him.

Now we can agree on something. If we elect the same two that got us to where we are they have no intention of us going back to where we were. Remember when gas was 1/2 price of what it is today, groceries 30% less

Housing 70% less, insurance 40% less, medical expenses 30% less, inflation 9% less, illegal immigration population 10 million less, crime 30% less, WE AIN"T GOING BACK

Unless you elect Donald J Trump, the one that brought us that prosperity
Drill Baby Drill
Get back across that border
Re build our law enforcement
Go back to training our military to defend our country instead of DEI training and Tranny Training
