Wow! We haven't had a recession since the former President.

"Manchin is not the only surprising actor here. The whole 117th Congress has shockingly been one of the most productive in half a century, notes Jonathan Bernstein. Even if this deal doesn’t pass, we’ve already gotten bipartisan deals on stimulus, infrastructure, gun control and election reform, to name a few.

With that in mind, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate Biden, whose approval rating is now small enough to fit on the head of a pin. Maybe he’s a potted plant in the room where it happens, or maybe he’s so in harmony with his natural habitat of Washington that he’s the only one who knows how to get all these swamp creatures to work together to get things done."

biden regime building more border wall, lol

The Biden administration has had a pretty good week.

They killed the top guy in al Qaeda.
They got the bill to give medical care to veterans afflicted by those burn pits passed in spite of the
  Republican Senators spiking it and high fiving each other.
They seem to have achieved a compromise within their own party on a reconciliation bill to bring down
  drug prices, increase corporate tax rates and reduce the deficit.  
Gas prices are as low as they have been in months.

All of this while Biden had Covid! He should get Covid every week. I think when the former guy got Covid he checked into a hospital and I seem to remember that he was given an enema of hydroxychloroquine sulfate...wait, I may be misremembering.

The FBI can't investigate crimes if Trump is involved...just everyone else? That is Banana Republic bullshit.

You Trumpsters think he is somehow above the laws that cover all Americans?

Remember when Trump said that taking the 5th was an indication of guilt? I do.

I'm reading where fbi was looking for an unsecured server with classified documents (which was likely hacked) and several thousand subpoenaed and deleted emails. Oops, sorry, that was someone else. 
The fbi is corrupt.
Thankfully, Garland never became a supreme court justice.

In August of 2015 the FBI inquired about the Clinton server without a warrant or any kind of court order and it was turned over to them immediately. No negotiation. No months long cat and mouse game where they hid it from the FBI.

Hillary destroyed subpoenaed emails, then turned it over. She missed a few. Comey - no big deal

Inflation Reduction Act. Lol.

Let's go bran-don

student loan forgiveness. that should help reduce inflation...lol
more bullshit from the biden clown show and his regime.
give relief to college students who will go on to earn more than those who don't have degrees.  
you busted your ass and paid your loan off - your reward is a bowl full of biden's bullshit
biden and the left are destroying this country. it looks intentional.
81 millions votes - fools.

let's go bran-don

I know I’ve said this before on this board but we got Biden because of who he ran against. The majority of Americans didn’t want Trump and they still don’t.

"What is wrong with people?"

Imo, some of it might be mental health but mostly wokeism and the (bad) behavior it has created and allowed.

Inflation at 8.3% for August 2022.

Biden clown show has a inflation reduction act party.
Can this regime be more clueless?
But don't criticize him, he'll send his personal security force (fbi) to harass you.

81 million votes. The most ever. LOL

Let's go bran-don

Inflation is a problem all over the world. In many countries the rate of inflation is greater than here in the US. There are a number of reasons for the inflation rate increases historically and some new ones that are specific to this period of time all over the globe. What all the counties of the world have in common is the fallout from the Covid-19 outbreak and it’s effect on the supply chain, the work force and the pent-up demand for products that it caused.

We know that a number of factors have squeezed the supply of oil worldwide including the Russia-Ukrainian war. Everyone worldwide is paying more for gasoline now than they were when the economy slowed around the world in 2020.

50 migrants in Martha's vineyard is a humanitarian crisis. LOL.

What would they call 50000, or more, migrants?

Inflation is at historic levels. biden says let's throw some gas on that fire and forgive $500 billion - $1 trillion in student loans. That (additional) money will be chasing the same amount of goods. my dumb ass thinks that might be bad for inflation reduction

politics is an interesting topic

I think forgiving the student loan debt was nothing more than buying votes during an election year. Unfortunately both political party’s do this sort of thing. Just my opinion.

So if allowing people to spend their money on groceries and rent and utility bills rather than student loans is "bad for inflation reduction" then tax cuts must do the same thing? Allowing people to keep their money or spend it on rents and utilities as opposed to forking it over to the government must be highly inflationary?

Maybe a great big tax increase is what you want to quell inflation...is that right, tps?

People are allowed to spend their money on whatever they choose. many make poor choices.

taking more of what people rightfully earn (increasing taxes) is not a good idea especially when it goes to our corrupt government.
giving people free money they did not earn (debt forgiveness) is not a good idea especially when that money goes to people who will go on to be higher earners.
