Republicans on the campaign trail:

"Inflation!"
"Gas prices!"
"Open Border!"
"Too Much Spending!"

Republicans once in power:

"Trans students!"
"Ban Some Books!"
"Fight Disney!"
"Make Voting Harder!"

Whining about spending but they don't have a budget to present? It's not like they didn't
know they were going to control the House since before Thanksgiving.

And folks wonder why I stopped voting for the lazy bastards!

If House Republicans want to go through this kabuki dance because they
think it helps them with their base let them do it.

The budget Biden and the Senate Dems want is going to be passed in the
end, with few if any very minor modifications.

Oh, they're complaining about spending alright, but they don't have the balls to show us a
budget that reduces it. They know every dollar cut costs them somebody's vote and for
Republicans, votes are getting harder to come by.

Good grief. The economy has been decimated under the Dems over the
last three years and you're whining about the *Republicans*. What a
hack you are.

When Biden took office the S&P 500 was at 3700, today it's 4100.
I don't think Kremlin Girl knows what "decimated" means!

*laughs and points*

When jobs go begging and real wages are rising, the economy is not "decimated" you fucking
moron!

God-DAY-am you're desperate today. I can smell the bullshit all the way to Florida!

National unemployment is only 3.6%.

Texas alone has almost a million jobs going begging and 400K workers quit this year to
shift to better paying jobs. All the companies who moved there for tax breaks are
suddenly discovering they can't find enough talent in the state and are cutting back
production and services. This will make inflation worse *and* cost Texas based companies
market share. Texas Instruments was planning a massive expansion but now realizes there
just aren't enough appropriately educated and skilled workers in the state to fill the
jobs which is putting them in a serious bind.

Biden's processor homecoming legislation and aid to Ukraine are creating even MORE jobs
and they're GOOD jobs.

Tesla moved some operations back to California because of this but even there good help is
hard to find. All over the country real wages are rising but employers still can't get
fully staffed.

"Decimated" HAW HAW HAW HAW !!!!

That is an extremely poor performance for 3 years. But ya got to love
selective statistics. Let's look at the DOW shall we:

31000 when he took office
33000 today.

That's a miserable return of 3% a year and it's also down 3000 from
it's high in 2022 - a loss of 10%. These are NOT indicators of good
performance.
