I think if they allowed drilling in the national parks that would help.

If the supreme court decides he's immune from prosecution then I guess it won't matter what he did.

Exactly the same as just about every country in the world.
Here in the Philippines everyone is complaining about the increasing cost for food, gas, electricity, water etc.
It’s a worldwide crisis not solely in the almighty US.

Well the USA voting system for the feudal government is a joke as for the Senate the 20 smallest states with 10.58% of the population has 40% of the seats with California with 13% of the population only has 2%. Also the electrical collage system is also a joke with the same 20 states having 86 votes and California having just 52 votes and Wyoming has one vote for each 192,286 person in the state and California has 732,189.

OP well if tRump had stolen the 2020 election you would have found your costs far higher than now as he would have backed his side kick Putin when Putin invaded Ukraine and when Ukraine was annexed and after Putin had done Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania would have been annexed for starters and with all this going on all you gas prices etc will be going up through the roof.
Ps don't come out with tRump rubbish that he would have stopped the war as he would have just told the countries to surrender to Putin.

Well Trump certainly had a huge effect.
The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.

The policies a POTUS sets,especially if he writes EOs as if there was no tomorrow,have definitely a big influence on the Economy of the Country!

I have been going to a dental college for a few months now. The work they do is excellent and very reasonable cost-wise.
I've been going for a couple of months because it takes a while to be treated as they do an extensive study of all your teeth. They take one step at a time, but like I said it is worth it!

My thoughts exactly and well done you for forward thinking, Though well retired and comfortable I too downsized and my adult kids have their own homes ,but as you say it's the younger generation behind them that will have the struggles.

To answer your question...Financially, I am doing a little better. I sold the home that I had lived in for 30 years, and built a smaller home. My utilities are much lower..and, it helps that I do not have a pool to maintain...and my electric bill is cheaper...I also have natural gas which is more efficient...hot water heater, stove, and clothes dryer...
I also received a very good raise last year...which also helps...
Where I see the highest increase in cost..groceries, filling up my tank, and car insurance...
I am very lucky..I have no mortgage..so my living expenses are low...
Many of my single friends and co-workers are living paycheck to paycheck...
One man can not change the economy...In my opinion...it is the constant rise in spending in all the mega budgets...
Both sides spend way too much...the deficit is the biggest reason for the higher prices.
My children and grandchildren will be paying for the overspending...
I worry that my grandchildren will never be able to buy a home.

Whatever happens in the up coming election I just hope it's good for All Americans not just the chosen few, Neither of these candidates are actually fit to run the highest position in Government and it's time an age limit was set . Trump can talk the talk but will he be able to walk the walk?
Having reached an age [ in my 85th.year ] I am totally aware of what age does to you mentally and physically.

The town of Fujikawaguchiko has had enough of tourists.
Known for a number of scenic photo spots that offer a near-perfect shot of Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji, the town on Tuesday began constructing a large black screen on a stretch of a sidewalk to block the view of the mountain. The reason: misbehaving foreign tourists.
online today!Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
It honestly depends on the person, regardless of their age. Some run circles and outshines younger ones. Trump proves that, and even though he going to turn 78, he can out perform most people of any age. That showed in his first term. Biden, the man has no clue to most things going on in my opinion. He's a hot mess!

online today!RE: Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
it's true. over all no one is doing better.
at best, been able to tighten their belts. and manage to squeak slightly ahead.
401 and any other investments are extremely volatile. any loss is still a loss no matter what gains people might luck out with. it's the same with money spent.
costs of living up in ALL aspects. it's not the changing times any where near as much as it is bad policies.
trump 2024. we need those policies back. and if people have truly learned any thing from 2009 to present, keep the demonrats out to minimal at best.
russia, china, terrorism, and illegal immigrants, seem to be the only ones that do better. no funds for the nation, border security, and citizens, but seem to have plenty for every one else.
global and home front chaos affects us all. no peace for long to none with demonrats. with the rest of us divided, they keep winning for themselves.

I was actually talking about Trump with regards to one man making a difference. I guess there are plenty in America who could if given the opportunity.
Frankly I find it quite ludicrous that anyone would want someone in their late seventies to run a country the size of America especially after all the latest unintelligible rants he has made of late .
online today!What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
If you do not know today the great joy of salvation, perhaps it is because you have never personally responded to Jesus Christ. Why not do so right now? Then you will know what’s so great about salvation!
by bcjenny | somewhere in B.C., British Columbia Canada | 19 hrs agoonline today!What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
. We should joyfully endure present suffering in light of future glory.
This point stems from the context of our text. Peter is arguing that our salvation is so great that whatever we must endure for Christ’s sake now is nothing compared with the glory that awaits us. Just as Jesus first wore the crown of thorns and then the crown of glory, so with us who follow Him. We may suffer now, but we already have tasted of this great salvation that the prophets foretold and into which the angels long to look. We can’t even fathom all the riches which God has in store for those who love Him. So when you suffer for Jesus’ sake, hang in there with joy, knowing that glory lies ahead!
Conclusion;
When you study your Bible, one secret is to look for words that are repeated for emphasis. Sometimes these words are not significant in themselves, but their repetition makes them significant. In our text, there is a word that occurs once in 1:10 and three times in 1:12 that drives home Peter’s message: the word “you.” He writes of “the grace that would come to you“ (1:10); “they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven” (1:12). The point is simple: Even though the message of God’s salvation is the greatest message in human history, it does you no good unless you personally lay hold of it by faith.
I began this message by asking, “What consistently gives you the most joy in life?” The Reformed Heidelberg Catechism of 1563 begins with a similar question: What is your only comfort in life and death? It’s a personal question with both temporal and eternal implications. If your honest answer is anything other than, “Jesus Christ and the salvation He has given to me by faith,” you need to do some serious soul-searching. You may be a church member or even involved in Christian ministry, but if you’ve never responded personally to the great salvation God provided in Jesus Christ, you are lost. I fear that as in Jesus’ day, so today it is often the most outwardly religious who have the most difficulty responding to the salvation Christ provides because it requires admitting that we are not good people; we’re undeserving sinners.
Years ago, Bishop John Taylor Smith, a former chaplain general of the British army, was preaching in a large cathedral on the text, “You must be born again.” He said, “My dear people, do not substitute anything for the new birth. You may be a member of a church, ... but church membership is not new birth, and our text says, ‘You must be born again.’ The rector was sitting on his left. He continued, “You may be a clergyman like my friend the rector here and not be born again, and you must be born again.” On his right sat the archdeacon. Pointing at him, he continued, “You might even be an archdeacon like my friend here and still not be born again, but you must be born again. You might even be a bishop like myself and not be born again, but you must be born again.”
He finished his message and went his way. But several days later he received a letter from the archdeacon which read, in part, “My dear Bishop: You have found me out. I have been a clergyman for over 30 years, but I have never known anything of the joy that Christians speak of. I could never understand it. But when you pointed at me and said that a person could be an archdeacon and not be born again, I understood what the trouble was. Would you please come and talk with me?” Of course, Bishop Smith did talk with him and the archdeacon responded to Christ’s call to salvation (H. A. Ironside, Illustrations of Biblical Truth [Moody Press], pp. 49-50).

I say that is because that was a very ignorant statement you made about how one man can't make a difference.
I have seen two great men in my lifetime make such a huge difference with the change my country wanted and needed fir the better.
I have also seen three other president's run my country into the ground while on office. I have lived through it here and witnessed it.

Quiet Riot often played in South Florida. I went to a few of their concerts.
They would do a 'meet & greet' after each show to take photos, sell shirts/CD's and things. The drummer Frankie is in one of my profile photos.

Why do you presume that
I've been around a hell of a lot longer than you and watched them come and go but none so controversial as Trump.
I was a child when Truman ,after 2 weeks in the White House and much pressure,ordered the atomic bomb attack on Japan. What was Oppenheimer's response "I have blood on my hands"
Look back at your past and you will see so much corruption within the White House.Do you honestly believe that the charges piled up against Trump are all false just to keep him out of the White House
Your choice will never "make America great again" especially the rantings that are taking place at this moment in time .No country for old men as they say and what person would threaten violence once again from his supporters if he loses.
That's a "gun to the head speech" if ever I've heard one.
