Perhaps you should give your tenant a break on her rent. After all you are a guy who has so much money you can't be bothered to fill out a bit of paperwork for some $3000. And yes prices are too high but not as high as they could have been. Do you agree that part of that high price is the result of businesses taking advantage of inflation by raising prices for profits because they can? She is Literally paying less than $325 on a two bedroom. That is about half of market value. The utilities are killing her and she shut off her television, the one thing she was able to entertain herself with. The cost of living Is killing her. It’s time you stop trying to find any other excuses and just admit that this administration sucks on the economy. That doesn't sound like it's just inflation that is causing her economic problems. It's not the Democrats who are trying to chip away at her SS and Medicare programs.

I'm not convinced he has done a good job. It's a fool's errand to judge stuff as it happens and whether it is good or bad. Sending aid to the Afghan rebels in the 1980s was seen as an awesome decision. In the aftermath of 9/11/01, it certainly isn't quite as awesome. Biden has no effect on the economy or most day-to-day things that affect Americans. What he has definitely done right is Ukraine, including getting Allies on board. He's been able to get nations to trust the US again, Europe and Pacific, so that NATO is 99% unified and in the Pacific, you know have ROK/JPN cooperation again and new Sth Pac cooperation between Australia/UK/US/FRA--along with India once you get to the Indian Ocean. Just as important, he's not typing crap onto Twitter on a daily basis. He actually acts presidential and that is a big deal in the moment. A calm president is a calm country (which is why Ike golfed all the time and made sure reporters were with him taking those photos) I didn’t think you would be that easily fooled by someone but obviously you are. You want the appearance of integrity. You really don’t want the true honor of integrity. You go back and watch tapes of Joe Biden even 10 years ago And what he supposedly believed then is the exact opposite of what he’s saying now. You go back 20 years he’s completely different because Joe Biden is whatever people want him to be at the time. The same man he used to hang out with racist people and didn’t want schools to segregate.. While you complain and moan and groan about Donald Trump and how he isn’t presidential, you have a wishy washy president that tells you everything you want to hear and evidently that’s all it takes.How completely selfish of you. It’s all about you and what makes you comfortable instead of what’s best for the country in the long run. And I am so sick and tired of comfortable affluent people (like so many people on this board) telling about how the economy is just fine. (Another completely selfish outlook). How many people with a meager Social Security check do you know that are not having trouble making ends meet? Have you even bothered to talk to anyone in that situation? Because I guarantee you this economy is killing them. Start giving a crap about people who are truly affected by this economy. I don't care for Biden, haven't liked him back to his plagiarizing in 88. But any attempt to attack me or him and his integrity while then offering praise for Trump is just silly. Trump is the least ethical or moral individual ever elected to the US presidency. He is everything that is wrong with Boomers and their greed and disdain for conventions and rules that they think shouldn't apply to them. Trump is the face of the "Me Generation" and worse, he's a cult leader at this point. As for comfortable? I make less than 1/4 of what Americans think provides comfort. I'm comfortable and happy regardless. I spend within my means, I do not drink or smoke. I get to help students about 40 weeks/year.

What I don’t understand is how you can think Joe Biden is more ethical than Donald Trump? When he is clearly not. Isn’t it sad that these are the two we have to choose from most likely in the next election. I bet you’re a great teacher. Thanks for sharing.

And you know that. Back to her situation. She cleaned houses her entire life. She had other low paying basic jobs like so many of her generation did. She didn’t build up any Social Security equity. The result is this. Although her unit is killing me financially I have no plans to raise her rent. She has been with us for almost 17 years and she was our first rental customer.

Although her unit is killing me financially I have no plans to raise her rent. She has been with us for almost 17 years and she was our first rental customer. sure they don't: Republicans have claimed over and over again that they are not trying to cut Social Security and Medicare. Heck, Joe Biden got them to agree they would not make cuts to the programs, in a memorable verbal maneuver during his State of the Union speech earlier this year. And yet the Republican Study Committee (of which some three-quarters of House Republicans are members) just released its desired 2024 budget, in which the party seeks to, you guessed it, cut Social Security and Medicare. The proposed budget would effectively make cuts to Social Security by increasing the retirement age for future retirees. The document seeks to assure people that there would only be “modest adjustments” but does not list what Republicans think the new retirement age should be. On Medicare, Republicans propose requiring disabled Americans to wait longer before getting benefits and turning Medicare into a “premium support” system, a long-floated Republican idea that essentially turns the government program into a voucher scheme. Such a scheme would remove the guarantee for seniors to have affordable access to Medicare. newrepublic.com/post/173661/republicans-bringing-back-plan-gut-social-security-medicare

How many times has he been sued, how about his charity in New York that was shut down? Trump University, a scam. How many indictments is he facing? How many sexual assault cases has he been convicted of? How about impeachments? The list is long. Are you really trying to compare that with Joe Biden? This is why you aren't taken seriously.

Although her unit is killing me financially I have no plans to raise her rent. She has been with us for almost 17 years and she was our first rental customer. he largest bloc of House conservatives offered up a fiscal blueprint Wednesday that promises to balance the federal budget in seven years, make GOP tax cuts permanent, and slash domestic spending. The plan offered by the 175-member Republican Study Committee would gradually raise the age at which future retirees can start claiming full Social Security benefits from 67 to 69, a politically fraught proposal that's all but certain to appear in Democratic campaign ads. The document also proposes a "premium support" plan that would subsidize private insurance options that compete with traditional Medicare. That would be similar to budget plans proposed by Rep. Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., during his tenure in Congress that were panned by Democrats and some Republicans, including former President Donald Trump. I could go on, but I hear you tip toeing away from another of your falsehoods.

your last two paragraphs describes a pretty good first term. I’m thinking even the wack jobs don’t miss the daily inane tweets, constant turnover of appointments and staff, Jared, Rudy, Betsy DeVos, all the felons ... that Orange delivered. ✝️ Hol?

Isn’t it sad that these are the two we have to choose from most likely in the next election. I bet you’re a great teacher. Thanks for sharing. Because 2/3 of people plagiarize. ML King's "I have a dream" is plagiarized. It's often done without intent. Biden is more ethical because he didn't sell out interests to the Saudis for billions, didn't lease out residential property in Florida to Russians, etc. Biden doesn't have a history of not paying subcontractors or a bunch of other poor business behaviors. As for the two to choose from, no doubt. Few of the running candidates show a sense of integrity. The question is whether this is normal or an aberration. Things changed with Watergate and what Americans would accept as behavior from leaders. Are we now reverting to the Gilded Age's politics and morality and the idea of whatever you get away with is acceptable? It seems that way, but I don't have to like it.

As much as you guys hate to admit ( AND YOU DO) the cost of living was cheap under Donald Trump. People could make ends meet even on a limited income. That is no longer the case.

Its absolutely true but in true Democrat fashion they will lie and scheme their way to victory with the help of the national media and big tech...isn't that the entire point of Threads? To contol information that Democrats want the public to hear and eliminate Twitter because they dared to expose the truth about the FBI and Justice Department. I would bet you my farm that constant communication has been happening between Zuckerberg and the Government of how to help make this happen. You guys are just corrupt and cannot win without cheating.
