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?
"Gas is cheaper because I'm able to drive less than I used to."
I work from home, I guess by that logic, gas is free for me. Hooray!
" It only sucks for people wanting easy, cushy jobs, like working in tech."
I've worked construction, done a little welding and been a mechanic. My cushy job in tech is far more demanding, stressful and my daily decisions have implications in the $thousands and sometimes $millions along with the livelihoods of many people. That and i'm on call 24x7 and never work less than 50 hours a week, often closer to 70 with a couple of all-nighters a month after working a full day. This is common in tech.
I still do construction in my off hours - just to relax.
"the houses we are buying today are much better than they were 50 years ago"
Bigger? Sure. Better - then you do live in a magical place.
I don't know if you've ever tried lived in an old house, but they are terrible. Uneven floors, walls made of chalk and sticks, and endless repairs. Things used to be rough.
