1. No

My stocks are 75% down, I'm making less money with the current job, and inflation sucks. One thing though: I don't blame Biden.

 :whatever:

4. I voted yes

Our yearly merit increases for pay have been really nice, and I got a promotion at work that came with a significant raise. And we are getting a nice bonus yearly right now. My wife's small business is growing and doing better now than 4 or 5 years ago.

Wage growth has exceeded inflation since 2019, so I think that belies that more Americans are doing better now, but you never hear about it.

Nobody's fault, but if there isn't a big blue wave this fall, I'm leaving the country.

It seems that DUmmy RainCaster already forgot that his/her/it's income took the hit four years ago and now he/she/it can't even afford a bar of soap never mind moving to a socialist paradise country that doesn't want they/them/it.

And yet the leftists claim that conservatives are voting against their best interest...

Money isn't everything. Socialist paradises can use RainCaster's skills braiding hair on the beach and cultivating pot.

That's weird because even Biden's junta puts out numbers that show real working wages have gone down every single month your corrupt criminal pedophile has been n office. Also credit card debt is at all time high and late payments are also at a high as credit cards are being used to fund everyday living costs.

In short, you are a LYING DUmbshit and should eat a pistol.

This lie is not even challenged. They have to believe everything is well or it all falls apart.
