Famous question posed by Ronald Reagan. it’s all you really need to think when you go to the voting booth this November.
Is that really all I need to think about? Because I'd have to answer yes, I am presently better off than 4 years ago. If that's all that matters, then I'd be voting Trump...and that's not happening. I'd like to think that choosing a president--or any political office, really--should be about more than just how it affects me personally.
I'm slightly better off, but it has zero to do with the president and 100% to do with the raises I got from my boss.
Fixed.... Howe can one actively say that Trump is wrong in trying to open up the country but then blame him for the economic fallout of closing down?
I don't disagree that that's the case. And one would think that the plight of "a good portion of Americans" should theoretically be a larger consideration that simply my own situation; hence my skepticism over the logic in your title/OP.
Dont like Trump at all but before covid yes for all my family. Son's and daughters have done extremely well on their jobs and even profit sharing bonus's. Our investments have done marvelous and are bouncin back since C19. We ain't complaining.
Putting all ugly politics aside, before the C19 the economy was booming, and if you don't agree with that, Then you aint American!
So. Trump caused 401K's to plummit the last few months? Trumps been in office 3 years. The covid started a few months ago. But yet, Trump is responsible for a plummiting 401K? How was the 401K in december compared to four years ago? Shouldn't that be the legit and valid question?
Yes. it's due to Covid, but his slow reaction to it (or lack of) did impact how it has impacted all of us.
I agree with this 1000%. Whats frustrating to me is, you saying this will just bring out people blaming each other side for being the "real" source of hate and animosity. Thinking the cause of hate and animosity is a 50/50 is in itself is laughable and ignorant of reality, but that's besides the point.
4 years ago my retirement savings were 10s of thousands of dollars better....the world wasn't headed for military expansion and cold war...racism wasn't on the rise and we were respected around the world..also my heart hadn't failed twice4 years ago so yeah....I was better off 4 years ago than today....and I trusted the president to be telling me the truth...the good is I now have a new grandson to enjoy moving forward
Something interesting I just thought about, four years ago I was working in Brazil and was very proud to say I was from the United States…..... As I had planned on working in Tokyo this summer, my wife and other family members made sure to remind me to tell people that I was Canadian. Couldn’t argue with them. I’m somebody who served this country and right now, I’m embarrassed to say I’m from it.
I have had many changes in my life since 4 years ago so it is honestly hard to say. Everything is relative. As far as that concerning how I will vote, it doesn't have much of an effect.
