    Probably a bunch of Ivy League POS that got this country in this mess to begin with. Go look where all of the POTUS since Reagan graduated from, bunch of globalists.

    Like I said go get some groceries or fill your car up and get back to me.

    The Jan 6th people who broke the law should be prosecuted, even if they were encouraged by LEO to enter the Capitol.

    What laws did Trump break?

    You think you're much smarter than them on economics though. I've seen more than enough charts and read more than enough articles to see that triple down economics only benefits the top 1%. If don't understand why you think the price of groceries will be cheaper after 4 years with Trump in charge. It certainly won't add to our economy. Why do you think cutting taxes on the rich will make groceries cheaper? Why do you believe deporting migrant farmers instead of giving them citizenship if they haven't committed any crimes will make groceries cheaper?

    Like I said, I'm willing to take this chance, if not why even have a border or for that matter laws? Moron? LMAO, you're better than this, or maybe you aren't. Anyways, your options mean crap to me.

    If this is so then tell me why Biden is currently draining the petroleum reserve supply? 1. Votes 2. Trying to force the green bs on this country. You pick, either one should be a treasonous offense.

    Nope, I don't trust Ivy League elitists. I can give you stuff from Kudlow, Payne etc... that would dispute the economists you cited. One thing is for sure though, things were cheaper under Trump.

    Fox Business host and former Trump adviser Larry Kudlow admits that he was wrong about a recession under President Joe Biden after predicting one and slamming him numerous times.



    Candidly, Kudlow stated, “It was a good quarter, don’t get me wrong, and the last quarter was
    a good quarter, 4.9.” Biden, he said, “gets his due. If I were he, I’d be out slinging that hash too,
    no problem.” Asked by the host if this meant that the economy was not as bad as
    he had been saying, he answered, “I would say, probably, I would agree.”​

    I believe policies Trump put into place kept inflation down. Policies that Biden put into place like the inflation reduction act caused inflation. There's no denying that things were cheaper for avg, poor people under the Trump policies than they currently are under Biden.

    Would you be willing to accept a less consumer-driven lifestyle? If prices for things at the grocery store go up exponentially or casual restaurants become even more expensive than they are now, would you be willing to pay higher prices because American workers who demand higher salaries and benefits are staffing them instead of illegal immigrants?

    I have family who moved to Switzerland and they had to make big lifestyle changes to adjust to how much more expensive things are there. Obviously the situation isn't apples to oranges, but Switzerland has much more protectionist trade and worker policies than EU countries. As a result, a cheeseburger can cost about $30 USD. Going out for a meal is a big deal for them now in a way that reminds me of how my parents talked about their childhoods. They're priced out of every day leisure.

    I moved away from Texas to the northeast last year. Honestly, the quality and price of the produce at the grocery store has been one of the more surprising things; it's not nearly as good. HEB really is able to tap into Mexico to provide fresh, affordable produce to Texans. Enacting a blanket tariff on that stuff? Expect to see a lot less variety and higher prices for Mexican-grown staples at the store.

    Illegal labor has made a lot of Americans' lifestyles artificially more affordable and leisurely. As long as you're clear-eyed about that and willing to adjust your spending habits so that Americans fill these jobs I am inclined to respect your position a bit more.

    Good grief. Things were cheaper all over the world before the pandemic hit. Supply and demand jacked things up afterwards, and price gouging sure as hell didn't help. Again, how do you think deporting migrant workers will lower grocery costs, and how do you think years of Trump tax cuts for billionaires isn't going to screw this economy even worse? Slashed taxes disproportionately for the wealthy and profitable corporations, severely reduce our federal revenues.

    We have under 4% unemployment even with all of the immigration. Framers and drywallers already earn good wages and in most job sites you’re mostly going to hear Spanish spoken. Even with that there are still shortages of labor in the construction fields.

    We don’t have enough American citizens to fill the jobs we have now.

    In states like Georgia nobody should turn in their vote counts until Fulton County does. In Pennsylvania nobody turns in their vote counts until Philly, Pittsburgh. In Wisconsin nobody turns in their vote counts until Milwaukee, Madison turns in their vote counts. Maricopa County etc....

    Need to go back to in person voting and paper ballots.

    This will stop the funny business like water leaks, not turning in votes until days after the election etc ...

    Again I respect this. If you believe that we should deport 11 million out of the country then that's your right. Don't sit here and claim that trump will bring down grocery prices bcz he's deporting millions of slave labor farm workers out of the country.

    Don't gas light us with your bullshit conspiracies

    I work in construction and this is false. Many apartment builders are holding off until after the election to start new jobs, even though they already own the land

    Yeah funny how the 120+ audits and 72+ court cases that occured regarding the election showed no election fraud but you're a dipshit MAGA who thrives off conspiracies and disinformation.

    Trump loves his supporters to be braindead dumb so you fit in nicely

    How did the country ever survive before Biden let in 20 million illegals in the last 3 years?

    They're not waiting for after the election. They're waiting for fed to cut interest rates cuz they've already publicly announced that they'll cut rates.

    Again all you MAGATs can do is lie and spew disinformation
