    I just sold two real estate properties for a total sum of $800k. I planned on purchasing a new house next year, the cash is just sitting in my savings account. What do you recommend i do? I will appreciate any suggestions.

    Yet there's 700 thousand less people employed and the highest rate of Americans with multiple jobs that still can't make ends meet.

    Wow almost like stores hire more people for the holidays to help with the high demand. Great misleading reporting to try and show like we’re doing okay as a country. My wages haven’t gone up, the way to combat inflation is not by printing more money and increasing wages, it’s to reduce cost of living. How do we do that? Stop the outrageous government spending, and lower the price of gas by drilling on our own land and become an exporter instead of an importer, all other costs will fall into place.

    Wage increases are outpacing inflation and unemployment is still at near record lows so in my mind, even if president Biden's administration had no other accomplishments this is enough for my vote in 2024. Throw in the fact the other guys will probably have an insurrectionist and convicted criminal on the ballot who is also a drama queen and the decision is a no-brainer.

    Dont buy the media hype. For most people the economy is doing just fine. The polls keep asking the same wrong question. But when people actually vote, the media ignores the outcome. So Biden in trouble narrative can still be spread. The new Clinton email

    You guys keep saying all these jobs are added yet everywhere I go there are Help Wanted signs and there is nobody working anywhere. Every retail store has now resorted to self-checkout because they can't find workers stop telling lies.

    We went into a manufacturing recession in August 2019 way before the pandemic so compared to then manufacturing is booming. Our GDP growth is higher than china’s for first time in 40 years, and our oil production is higher than anywhere else in the world. Add that to record wage increases and unions winning… we are the envy of the world economically.

    They were mostly temporary Xmass holiday jobs. I'll wait for the February and March job report. Santa's elves were very busy. Soon they'll be unemployed & living in a cardboard box on a very cold concrete sidewalk in a democrat run city near you.

    The economy added 213,000 jobs in December, and Biden added 302,000 illegal immigrants to the welfare rolls in December.

    Joe Biden has focused on peddling the country’s security to his handler Xi Jinping and other foreign countries to further enrich the Biden crime family.

‘Put everything back’ could be a strong political platform

Published

Rachel Maddow remarks that with all of Donald Trump’s unpopular, expensive, and downright ugly vanity projects spread across the U.S. capital, a political platform based on tearing it all out and putting everything back the way it was might have pretty strong appeal with American voters.
