While real disposable income per capita has roughly doubled since the 1980s, this statistic oversimplifies the reality for many individuals. Income inequality has grown significantly, with the wealthiest seeing the largest gains while middle- and lower-income groups struggle with stagnant wages. At the same time, the cost of essentials like housing, healthcare, childcare, and education has skyrocketed, leaving families with less discretionary income despite higher earnings. Many households now rely on debt or dual incomes to make ends meet, unlike the 1980s when single-income households were more common. Additionally, job stability has declined as well-paying, secure jobs have been replaced by precarious gig and service work. Ultimately, while averages suggest economic progress, rising costs and systemic inequality have left many feeling less financially secure than the data implies.
I mean, they have to actually believe the dumbest most corrupt people in DC will take care of the economy
Good grief, you've gotten dumber while I've been away. But I agree, Obama who was sitting in for Biden the last term was both corrupt and dumb and wouldn't know how to pump his own inflated gas.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is preparing to pull the nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to one congressional source and another GOP source familiar with the matter. The move comes amid ongoing concerns about Republicans' razor-thin majority in the House.

here's why stefanik was pulled - yesterday Dems won a rural state legislature seat in PA that hasn't been won by a democrat since the civil war. Worry is that Stefanik's seat would be lost next year. The people really hate trump.
Democrat James Andrew Malone narrowly won a special election for a Pennsylvania state Senate seat in Republican-leaning suburbs and farming communities, scoring an upset in a district that a Democrat hasn’t represented in the chamber for 136 years.
no way one degenerate ignorant mean felon should be allowed to make decisions like this alone on the toilet. If the congress took away the tariff authorization the stock market would rise 5% in one day.
GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

There should be two seats up for grabs in Florida on 4/1. Doubtful Dems will win but who knows...
JUST IN: The Colorado Legislature passed a law that would require the state to add an option for “nonbinary” and “transgender” on death certificates. "It is important that their memory, their identity continues to be affirmed in death as it was in life," Democratic Representative Kyle Brown

Watch for an Elise Stefanik-Trump sh!tcoin launch as a reward for her continued debasement of herself for the dear leader.
Did you know that before Trump she was a totally normal and intelligent Republican that many believed would be a rising star in the party?
