    I don't know what it is or even if valid. There have been HUGE gaps in wealth through the history of mankind including the US. George Washington was the Bill Gates of his time and is wealth HUGELY out gapped the lowly citizen living off his little plot of land. Yet the United States was founded so that any one can get wealth, even wealthY, even VERY wealthY. The fact is the bigger the economies get the more wealth a person can gain through their very lawful and honest business endeavors. Those who live their life jealous of others, greedy to get what they did not earn themselves have always been around and always will be.

    I remember those days in the early and later 60's and every one was a BRUTHA and SISTA and we all were supposed to share and live together in harmony until I noticed that those who promoted that the most were the ones who didn't seem to have jobs and were always coming over to my place after I got home from work wanting to share our BRUTHAHOOD.

    There is a clear bias against a sitting president on economic issues. Look at 2020 and Biden had a lead on Trump, because Trump was running the economy at the time. The same was said for Trump over Obama in 2016, and that was after 2 tearms

    The bolded is the anomaly, politicians over time have become mega wealthy from fleecing the hard working taxpayers. And those in bed with them benefit as well. We the people have very little chance at being rich in comparison.

    Trump never exceeded 1.4% inflation. Biden had it as high as 8%. Gas was "$2.37 (national average) the day Trump left office, Now its $3.89. There is absolutely NO similarity between Trump and Biden economies... NONE.

    Is it? Then why have I been forced to use my credit cards for food and other necessities for over a year now? I'm maxxed out, so now what do I do? When will the largess trickle down my way?

    I can’t speak for anyone else, unlike many of the “experts” on this forum, but financially my wife and I are doing very well. We are financially better now than in the past.

    Americans have more dollars in their bank accounts and their pockets compared to the 1890s. Never mind the inflation. If we add a few more zeroes to the bills you're just better off because reasons and stuff.

    That's my story too!

    I have no clue where these other forum members live, but odds are it is probably a red state. Maybe they should be looking closer to home to find who has made their lives so damn miserable that all they can do is bitch.
