Just when you thought he couldn't do any better, Joe says "Hold my beer".
Inflation over last 12 months: 4.2%, highest year over year rate since September 2008. Inflation in March: 0.9%, highest since April 1982 (note a monthly rate of 0.9% is 10.8% annualized). Avg. price gallon of regular gas: $2.99, highest since November 2014. Used Car prices: up 12.4% in last year. New car prices up 7.0%. Median home price: up 18.4% over year.
April jobs report: 266,000 new jobs, vs. predicted 1 million.
Stagflation, anyone?
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that, as of April, total nonfarm employment grew by 1,572,000 since January.
Although no president is responsible for all jobs gained or lost, that is the most jobs added in that time period during any newly elected administration going back to 1939, which is when BLS began reporting data. It’s also more than six times the 250,000 increase in employment during Ronald Reagan’s first few months as president in 1981.

I'm pretty sure that's why everyone is here... we talk politics mostly and that would include what we believe and how we vote. I'll never be embarrassed to let people know why I vote a certain way.
Ya well, U know the bridge that was shut down ASAP....the one with a fault line as wide as the Mississippi
RIVER...well, that little problem (LACK OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE) is a main
bridge for transportation and the FED EX dist.center is nearby.....EXPECTING a package by Fed. Ex?
DELIVERY may be delayed .....how long,U take a guess. AT LEAST the present POTUS is forward
thinking and sees the CRITICAL NEED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE ACTION.....I voted for BIDEN
because A BETTER vision of AMERICA was/is paramount.....INTERGRITY (lack of) was the "buzz kill"
for Trump....the 1/3 of the nation that follows a mobster/ pathological lair WILL find a future that is lacking,
just like the dangerous bridge that is now shut down.
