    I wonder why so many kids want to kill each other in this country?

    If we are talking about Marco economics, Biden seems to be doing a fine job of slowly fixing the Trump government deficit.

    At the end of the Clinton administration, the surplus was 1.2% of the GDP
    At the end of the JWB administration, the deficit was 9.8% of the GDP
    At the end of the Obama administration, the deficit was 3.4% of the GDP
    At the end of the Trump administration, the deficit was 16.7% of the GDP (For the record, the deficit doubled between Obama's last year and Trumps last year before the pandemic, so this is not all on the pandemic, but with his really bad economic policies, add the pandemic to his expected mismanagement of the economy and you get the disaster that Biden inherited from that idiot).
    In 2022 (the first full year of the Biden administration) the deficit was 5.5% of the GDP

    Seems like the kind of thing Republicans are supposed to be passionate about... They would not be.

    Our washer broke, waiting on a new part, so I'm at the laundromat. There is no inflation. I repeat there is no inflation! I know this because I put a dollar in the change machine and still got four quarters back. If there was inflation I would have only gotten two or three quarters back. #Science

    'A Decent Society Would Not Let This Happen': 30 Million Across US Face Food Aid Cuts

    "Ending these increased benefits will cause more food insecurity and poverty. It's unacceptable," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal. "Poverty and hunger are policy choices. It's time we step up and do more."
