    Or investors are getting tired if waiting for the doom and gloom naysayers are saying is imminent. At some point, it's like listening to the boy whoncried wolf.

    Biden did not preside over rising grocery costs. That's on the pandemic, and since then it's on corporate greed. No President can control either of those things, they can only deal with the aftermath.

    The current economic boon only applies to those who are still wage earners. A good thing, but not inclusive of all Americans.

    Why must you ALWAYS write snarky replies? Even when you have a valid point, you bury it under a mountain of obvious derision, often with that point being entirely lost in that noise.

    Nice dodge.

    This is all off topic. There are other threads about immigration and border security. This is supposed to be about Bidenomics. You, @Noone, and @Nwolfe35 should perhaps start a new thread. Just sayin'.

    So many people in glass houses, seemingly not equipped with mirrors.

    About that: Comer had been insisting on a public hearing for weeks, and only changed that when Hunter called his bluff and agreed to appear. Comer was suddenly adamant that it must be closed to the public. Hunter was there just yesterday, volunteering to proceed with a public hearing.

    What is Comer trying to hide from we the people? There's nothing classified in the Hunter investigation, so why the need for closed doors? I'd like to see it, wouldn't you?

    It's great news for wage earners. Not so great for retirees or others on fixed incomes.

    Makes one seriously question the validity of a Wharton business degree, right?

    Bee ess. You made a claim, the burden of proof is on you. No proof, no credibility, therefore I'm waving the bullshit flag on your post.

    The investors that dominate the market pay attention the the economy and the future of the economy.

    See #100. Not a mess, perhaps, but also not helping everyone. Just sayin'.

    I don't care whose "fault" it is. I care because it is a serious problem for our country that our President, indeed the totality of the democrat party does not want to fix. Everyone knows that 95%+ (probably closer to 100%) of those 'claiming' amnesty do not qualify, including me, you, and the President. We need to start deporting every existing illegal on US soil, we need to speed up the process of denying asylum as it's a pretty simple process, and if we can't (more likely won't) make it quick (within days), then we should take their application, shoo them back across the border, and let them know we'll be calling if and when it's their turn. And... If they are caught on US soil after that but before their hearing, it's a felony with, oh, a 5-year minimum stint, and a lifetime ban from being in our country. We should also require all prospective hires to be processed through E-Verify, and arrest and imprison any employer, from the HR rep all the way up to the CEO and everyone in between that is a felony with a one-year minimum that cannot be pled out.

    Or, we could just put automated machinegun turrets all along the Rio Grande.

    Too much information is better than not enough. At least @Endeavor backs up claims with sources, without having to be cajoled into it.

    Increase tariffs, and importers like Walmart will simply bump up the cost to consumers. How is that helpful?

    Cajole all you want. I've been doing this long enough to know trying to prove anything to your type, is a waste of time. That was clear in the first two posts.

    Prove what? My only claim is the obvious fact that you are one of the many right wingers on this forum who make claims denigrating the left, but refuse to prove those claims. I don't need to prove what everyone here can clearly see.

    Bullshit. You simply want to feel free to make any statements you want without backing them up or showing your sources. Either you know your sources are far right wing conspiracy nut websites, or you hate blindly enough that you don't feel the need for information at all. Either way, you are not good at debate.
