This is going to be unpopular with many (the truth often is), but what President Trump has said is true. There is no affordability crisis. I could blather on about statistics and examples, but I don't think I could say it any better than the big man himself:
*“We have a great economy and the prices are coming down,” Trump told reporters Sunday night before boarding Air Force One on his way back to the White House from his Florida resort.
He blamed Democrats for an economy he described as having “the highest inflation in the history of our country. I have it down now to a normal level and it’s going down further.”
In a social media post Friday, Trump said of the GOP: “We are the Party of Affordability!”*
I don't think it gets any clearer than that. Gas is cheaper, eggs are cheaper, housing is cheaper, wages are up, inflation is down, there are lots of jobs out there (if you're willing to work), and the stock market is setting new records every week. If you're still struggling, then maybe you need some self-evaluation. I saw people on this forum complaining about food stamps being shutdown. I think they might be deep state plants sent to try and stir up dissention, and we shouldn't tolerate any of that. This is about Making America Great Again through the Great Awakening. We need to stop the complaining, and get in line. As the sidebar says, we are soldiers on the digital battlefield, not some just some pansy fair weather supporters who run at the first sign of hardship. It is not our job to question President Trump. If he says it, I believe him, which is at least the bare minimum. I mean, after all we have seen, after the violence, the accusations, attempts at assassination, wardrobe malfunctions, and misleading headlines, they still can't stop him. This is the revolution. There are now millions of us. We should no longer tolerate those who pretend to be supporters, but constantly doubt and sow desention. Heck, if charging a small fee for being able to log in and use this site is what it takes, I would be all for that (as long as the money from that went to support President Trump). I think that would clear out the doubters really quick, and then we can get on to figuring out the best ways to support our commander in chief. Whose with me?!?
P.S. Mods, can we sticky this post?
Glad things are going well with you, we want all our frens comfy!
My brothers, both on social security fixed income, are struggling. Their biggest expense is obviously their rent. Mine is my mortgage. And both of those - rent and (fixed interest) mortgage - are not in Trump's control, and are going up every year. My mortgage goes up because my property taxes and insurance go up. I can shuffle my expenses to make it work by ditching some luxury out of my family's lives (for example, opting for a cheaper internet, shopping for cheapest power supplier, canceling streaming services, not eating out, etc etc) but my brothers (well, only one brother now, the other died sick in his apartment 2 months ago because he knew he couldn't afford a medical bill by going to the hospital), are really struggling.
So please, don't blanket-statement your comfort and joy onto the rest of the nation. Walk a mile in their shoes first.
That 👆!
