    Minimally. I mean, better manners. Terrible policies that hurt a lot of people but to him that was collateral damage, for Trump cruelty was the point.

    I don't drink beer. Of all criteria for choosing a president, who would you like to have a beer with is about the stupidest. Is the affable Bush a better president than dour Lincoln?

    I never said that is a criteria for choosing a president.

    As a former president if given the chance I'd have a beer with the man.

    Joe Biden has just given you a pay cut, America. Get ready for more

    Call it a "Biden pay cut." Americans' real wages are falling under President Joe Biden.

    On Wednesday, the Labor Department announced that inflation rose by 5.4 percent over the previous year -- the fastest pace (tied with last month) since 2008.

    Last Friday, it revealed that average wages only rose by 4 percent over the same timeframe. These numbers confirm what Americans already know: Their living standards are declining under President Biden as inflation swamps wage gains.

    The Federal Reserve and Biden administration have tried to gaslight Americans by downplaying inflation and calling it transitory. Yet consumers and small businesses in the real world are feeling its full effects.

    Gas prices have increased by approximately 50 percent since Biden was elected. Major companies, including Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Kimberly-Clark, General Mills, and Unilever, have announced price increases.

    The CEO of Tyson Foods, the nation's largest chicken producer, said on a recent earnings call that costs are rising faster than the company's ability to raise prices. Half of second-quarter nominal GDP growth is phantom inflation gains. According to the Job Creators Network Foundation Monthly Monitor poll, inflation is the biggest concern of small businesses.

    President Biden seems to recognize he's vulnerable on this issue. This week he called on OPEC to increase oil production in an effort to address runaway gas prices taxing American pocketbooks.

    Yet far more drastic action is needed. Biden and Congressional Democrats must immediately scrap their several trillion dollars of proposed federal spending that threatens to turn high inflation hyper and devalue American paychecks even more........

    ........Biden's inflation-induced decline in American living standards contrasts to the stable dollar and rising wages under President Trump pre-pandemic. Due to his administration's tax cuts and deregulation, real earnings for ordinary workers rose at a rapid rate, and 6.6 million Americans were lifted out of poverty between 2017 and 2019.

    Yet while Trump gave us tax cuts, Biden's giving us pay cuts. If he succeeds in signing several trillion dollars of additional spending into law, Americans can expect an even larger decline in real wages to come.

    Any religion that condones honor killings and treat women & girls like slaves and doesn't like rock and roll are scum of the earth.

    Precisely why it is beyond disgusting that a republican US congressperson would tweet something so vile. They prove over and over they have no bottom. It's baffling how someone like this could get elected for anything.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This is a pretty stupid article. Inflation has swamped wage gains since the 1970s, at least. That's why Democrats have been calling for a minimum wage increase--the minimum wage buys far less than it did in the 1980s, but hasn't been changed since then. This is true across essentially all levels of wages--FOX Business is calling out unchecked capitalism but using the name "Joe Biden" instead because conservatives who read and believe FOX Business are extremely gullible and uninformed and FOX Business knows that.

    Personally, I have no issues with a minimum wage increase. I'm also in favor of a fair tax, flat tax, or such. Eliminate or better manage corporate write-offs.

    Bush was an ignoramus...an almost affable one. Cheney was the real president then. The one who started that war.
