Time to impeach the president!
When Biden just started, the stocks went down too.
However, that was clearly related with Covid.
What's Trump's excuse now?
The Dow Jones Index is not just dependent on the feelings of investors.
It reacts to real damage to the economy as well, like trade wars.
The House already approved an 880 billion dollar spending cut. It's impossible to do that
without it affecting important entitlements.
Elon has been telling people that social security is a pyramid scheme for a while.
Now they're both telling people there is massive fraud and waste in social security.
All of the right-wing media is preparing you for it, by telling you social security isn't "solvent", for how long? Or didn't you notice? They are telling you FOR A REASON!
That's them preparing you for it's destruction, by their actions.
They want to privatize social security, so everyone will only get what they save
for their retirement themselves. Of course, while big banks and insurance companies are profiting from your money. And if you don't make enough money to save some
for your retirement, you can work till you die.
This has been their plan for decades. Don't you know that?
Do you just flip a coin, vote for that candidate and then see if you like what they
will do, to decide if you vote for them again?
Or do you never vote and just wait to see what other people decided for you?
One of my best friends and a family member we are close to don't vote either.
They tell me they don't have the time to think about it enough.
That's a confirmation that it is important enough to not take lightly.
Not everyone has political convictions as strong as me or eg phart.
However, I do stand by my opinion that you let other people decide for you.
Even if both options are mostly horrible, voting for the lesser evil can still prevent
a lot of misery. You seem to think that destroying social security and medicare/medicaid would be evil. We agree there. If they do that, would you vote next time?
Even if policymakers took no further action, Social Security could still pay about 83% of scheduled benefits, after 2035. Just raise the tax cap for it, and it will be solvent for the next 75 years.
They cannot pay you what you put into it, because it's NOT a savings program;
the working people are paying for the retired people. They are cutting into the buffer now, because more people are living longer, and your government didn't increase
the tax or the tax cap to compensate for that. That was INTENTIONAL.
It's a very simple program with very low operating cost. There is no one making profit on it. If you privatize the system to an investment system, most of the profits will go to big banks and insurance companies, and all the risk will go to the people.
Have you heard of the Enron scandal? There are many scandals like that.
Republicans are pushing this on you, because Wall Street wants to make big profits from privatizing social security, and they are bribing your politicians to lie to you.
Hell, Trump just gave away all the key positions in his administration to people who benefit themselves from screwing the working class, no bribes needed.
It's WORKING!!!
Socials Security is MUCH CHEAPER than any alternative.
But, everyone still needs to pay into it, to keep it healthy.
They have not been doing that, INTENTIONALLY!!!
alot of this social security thing is fear mongering from the dems to scare old people and sucker them into voting demoncrat in 2 years.
if you want votes from blacks you tell them they will get more benefits and such, you want the old people vote, you threaten their monthly check. you want young peoples votes, you tell their college debt is erased and so on. most people don't vote on policy they vote on the cake icing they are sucked into thinking they will get.

Inflation is lower than expected 2.8 percent i seem to remember Biden’s last month was way higher around 4 percent

Gas in my area is down 30 cents per gallon
Milk down 50 cents per gallon
I won’t pay their price for eggs i will do without until they come down under 3 dollars per dozen were it belongs I’m no slave to the price gouging
Also understand that inflation and unemployment typically have an inverse correlation. When many people are losing their jobs, because of the trade wars, that can actually LOWER inflation.
Declining wages also have a lowering effect on inflation.
However, when you have low inflation, but massive unemployment and declining wages, PEOPLE STILL CANNOT AFFORD GROCERIES!!
It's refreshing to see that our current President was able to negotiate the 25+ stairs into Air Force One and remain standing!

A deal had been discussed, the leader of ukraine came over here to sign it and decided on national tv to renegotiate the deal asking for military presence in his country of US troops? Uh, NOPE. It is ukraine who is on the chopping block,and we have drained our military resources and sent millions in money to them and they are STILL fucking loosing the war 3 years in, and they want our troops to come over there and be cannon fodder for the russians? Literally creating WW3?? what the hell part of that do you think is logical?>
As for europe helping keep peace, the french sending in a few 100 troops to fight against all of russia is like sending greta thurnberg into the wrestling ring with Hulk Hogan. a sad day for the how dare you gal .just a quick visual to explain the point. Besides, the french make love not war.Some of the finest second hand long guns on the market are french army rifles as they have only been dropped once.
The report states that, if Washington does withdraw troops, Europe would need an additional 300,000 servicemen or around 50 brigades.

Hey that can be the new UN slogan
Make poopies not WAR
Directed at Zelenskyy and all the rest of the countries that want to touch off WW3
Well he finally manned up and apologized for his behavior, so time to regroup and try to get the process restarted.
At least we will get something in return for all of what we sent over there if the mineral agreement works.
