Crock. Of. shit. As *ANYONE* on a fixed income knows.

2021-2024 have been the worst economic years for the people I know and grew up with, since the late 1970's.

I understand quite well that the Biden administration has had to play the hand delt it, but claiming that a massive amount of damage hasn't been done, and probably will never be undone, to a lot of us in our 60's and over is pissing on my back and telling me it;'s raining.



It seems like the attitude of both parties is 'fuck you old people, here's your cola that is one-third of how much food and heating went up'.

Yeah, voting blue, but not happily; we need energy at the same price as 2015-2019, gasoline and diesel and electricity, then worry about climate change or whatever.


You can show me 5000 pages of statistics and data, I know what my bills look like and that is what matters, not how the data is massaged.
