Is Biden really that bad?

Yeah it’s reported like I wrote. It’s keeping an eye on you. You might argue that is doesn’t mean action will be taken but to me it’s big brother in your personal business. Very scary stuff. And why?? Because they want to steal more money from the people who earned it to give it to people that didn’t. It’s to buy votes. We have not enough people working for their money and too many people voting for a living.
they already are. $10k+ gets an auto report.

Are there any for someone on a fixed income adjusted via COLA? That measure is designed to underperform inflation. In twenty years my fixed income has maybe half the purchasing power it had.
Look into TIPS based options, they adjust for inflation.

There’s a huge difference between $10k and $600. $10K should be raised because it’s been the same forever and never adjusted with price changes. Why anyone would even try to defend this kind of meddling is beyond me. They are trying to spend more than they should on bullshit social programs and are trying to saddle everybody else with the costs.

So how does it work? Do they secretly tax you on $601 transactions and earmark it specifically for people who dont work?

Yeah no. They do not compensate for actual inflation. They are soft-shoes in exactly the same way as Cola.

What I need is something that doubles the difference between official and real inflation. collectible price trends are the go-to there, as those sensitively track how much money really is out there.

You don't understand why people would be ok with others trying to scam the system paying the same taxes that everyone else does?

And I would point out that those taxes pay for real investments that are why we have the ability to make more money than we otherwise would be able to without all the great things like roads/internet/computers/educated workforce/on and on. Rich guys wanting to get away with paying 3% or so on their billions should step up and help get our economy back on track for 100% of our population like they did back in the day when they payed up to build the suburbs for the 33% of the population to take advantage of.

Lol, emotional? As far as I'm concerned, you have it backwards. When's the last time you saw a guy get beat up for wearing a democratic hat? Try wearing a red one in the inner cities... When's the last time you saw a right winger follow a senator into the shitter?

I don't have your life experience but most right wingers I know are respectable, thoughtful folks.

Im sure there are more examples. But here is a classic bathroom story with Republicans.

Do you remember when Trump pulled terrible poll numbers and it didn't matter to him that almost everybody thought he was not representing the will of the majority in this country? You do recall how much of a fuck up he was, don't you? How could he learn what to do to improve if he didn't listen? Which he did not.

Not like that any more. Democratic leaders are listening and do respond to a clear message. I know you can't understand this but because Biden has been so successful with rolling out the vaccines despite headwinds from the trogs like you, because Biden is listening and right-sizing the infrastructure spending bills he's going to make progress on the economy which sets Democrats up nicely next year. Things are looking good coming into mid-term elections.

Biden's poll numbers dropping due to Congress not doing it's job and dithering about holding the Trumpists feet to the fire. If Congress would get their shit together and ACT instead of posture, Biden would be a lot more popular.
