Let's be clear, this economy was headed down the toilet WAY before any hostilities occurred in Ukraine. Unemployment and jobs numbers may look ok depending on how you extract the data, but you can't argue that from Jan 2021 to Nov 2021, inflation was up over 5% already (over 7% now), and average gas prices were up almost 40% (almost 50% now)...just a couple examples.

The best way to measure the economy is how voters feel about it, and I don't know many people that feel too good about it. Maybe in your circle things look peachy, but that's not what the majority of Americans are feeling. Which is why Biden's approval rating is down over 13% since his first week in office.

Anyway, watching him talk anymore is like watching Weekend at Bernie's. It's not likely that he will be our President for much longer. I'm surprised Vegas doesn't have an over/under on it yet. But, the grass isn't always greener...as we already discovered after the last election.

So you're saying the shit was bad before Biden, I agree!
