Ridin’ with Biden

[Ironfan72]

Saw a ABC poll over the weekend saying Trump leads in many aspects of the questions, including border security and the economy, so im confused about the economy part, the people responding claim the economy is terrible and think Trump will fix it, we are the fastest growing economy in the world by far, inflation is coming down, slowly but it is coming down, gas prices are pretty much the same now as under Trump, unemployment is the lowest in over 50 years, if you need a job its there, and Biden continues to forgive student loans, adding more money that could be considered available to help stimulate the economy, am i missing something, i understand going to a grocery store or even McDonalds is expensive, but thats more corporate greed than the economy being bad, is this a messaging thing?
As for the border, i live in Ohio, i do not give to craps about the border, i have family in Texas, the assure me there isn't this issue republicans scare midwesters with, in fact they showed me pictures of miles of wall with open gates, no guards and no one crossing, saying its being manufactured by republicans, its not the "invasion" they claim.

Yeah, things are always better under a Democrat President than a Republican one. I think people (especially Republican voters) have poor short-term memory.

These days the horrors in Gaza seem worse. 1500 Isrealis dead versus 34,000. The math doesn't quite have Isreal coming off worse.

It’s funny how there’s always a border crisis during an election year that then disappears after the election is over.

This isn't going to help Biden's approval rating.

Biden to Quadruple Tariffs on Chinese EVs​

Administration is preparing to announce higher levies on range of Chinese goods next week​

Unfortunately US and other carmakers only want to make new expensive vehicles and are adding subscription services for features.

There’s a gigantic hole in the market for affordable new cars and affordable housing and both need addressing at the state and federal level.
