I knew a guy who insisted the economy was good under Democrats because their predecessors' policies were finally taking effect
Same for why it sucks under Rs: Dem policies kicking in
They are incapable of dealing with reality
How can that many people be so thoroughly insane and yet function?

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

To be clear, the typical worker does not make $36/hr
That may be an average, but there are more people under that number than over
That may be an average, but there are more people under that number than over
Since 1968, CEO pay has exploded while worker pay has remained stagnant. If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make $431.80 per HOUR.
Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average.
The system is rigged.

Thinking of my dad, James S. Newberry, on Veterans Day. Enlisted the day after Pearl Harbor. Overseas for 3 years. North Africa, Sardinia, Sicily, Italy, and France. Won enough money playing poker on the troop ship home to pay for college and all of his law school. Best man I ever knew.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
