This plus gas prices plus inflation....all hitting everyone in various manners. This is a death blow to the mid-terms and the next presidential election if it doesn't get under control. And if that happens, we are going to have a very socially conservative leader and congress.....scary.Let me ask you, how are you willing to give Biden on these issues, gas aside? When does it start to be a concern for you?hippiemom = goodness0

Does anyone on here have any idea on what Biden can do about any of your concerns? Stock market? Inflation? Gas prices? War in Ukraine? Covid? Unpresidented times but it’d be helpful if maybe you could make some recommendations. Or better yet, the other major political party did so with actual policy proposals. Crickets.
When is it a concern? Now. What am I doing? Tightening my belt. Driving less. Not carrying credit card debt. Cutting back on eating out and travel. Fuck, I remember my parents not being able to afford coffee and OJ and instant coffee and tang was like toilet paper during Covid. Gas went from $.35 a gallon to $1.00. Inflation ran 16% and interest rates went to 13%. Or vice versa. What happened? Carter was one term and Ronny Rayguns and a dem controlled Congress gutted social spending, increased the military and exploded the deficit. Took 6 years to get out of it and what we were left with was tax cuts for the wealthy and ketchup as a vegetable in school lunch programs. “Government is the problem.”

Speaking of the stock market, I highly recommend Diamond Hands, a documentary on MSNBC about the game stop ride. Done by a guy who did a documentary on the female boxer from Flint, MI, called T-Rex. Also did California is a Place. Google is your friend. And all three are excellent.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

Add weather to the list of things Biden has to fix.
Climate change
Unpredictable weather events, such as droughts that damage crops and storms that upend trade routes, are increasingly seen as a key factor in the rising cost of living.
In India, the government has responded to a record-setting heat wave that put a strain on millions with a ban on wheat exports. The country, which accounts for nearly a third of the world’s wheat supply, had previously pledged to help “feed the world” amid the ongoing food crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said earlier this month.
But after temperatures unexpectedly soared in a heat wave that scientists said was made worse by the changing global climate, those exports were blocked.
India is just the latest country hit by extreme weather that destroyed crops: Brazil, another major food exporter, suffered through drought last year that hit its agricultural industry. The country’s inflation reached over 12 percent in April. And it’s not just food prices that are affected. Lumber is more expensive after floods and fires in British Columbia, leading to knock-on effects in housing and construction.
And at the same time, efforts to transition to a green economy are putting more pressure on prices for commodities such as lithium used for batteries and copper for wiring and computer chips.
Many experts say that this “greenflation” should be temporary and that a green economy ultimately will be less vulnerable to energy shocks, but the short-term expense of the moves could derail the move toward that economy.

Go door to door vaccinating the refuse to be vaccinated? Work in China? Tell India to export their wheat or just take it from them?

First of all, these are not my concern alone. If you think they are you haven’t been paying attention. It is the reality. It’s funny when the “buck stops here” and when it doesn’t for some.
And it was a real question to gimmie. Knowing he hates republicans, how long can this go on before someone like him is mad or worried? How long is the leash? Cause with big problems it does take time to see results. But Biden doesn’t have a lot of time. The pandemic also didn’t sneak up on him. He knew it….I’d be interested in what it seems like he thinks he can do to help.hippiemom = goodness0 -

Here’s the repub response to everything, every challenge that faces Americans:
Tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations
Gutting of regulations and oversight
small government
More power to the states
Rugged individualism
So why is it only applicable when times are good? And I realize that they’re not your problems alone but a large portion of the American public is miss and/or ill informed as to the underlying causes and solutions.
300 people a day are still dying from Covid, vast majority among the unvaccinated despite a vaccine readily available. Blame Brandon.
China has locked down key manufacturing cities. Blame Brandon.
OPEC won’t increase oil production. Blame Brandon.
And the list goes on and on.

Ultimately it’s an expectation problem.
take Ukraine. There is a war going on and the fact there are social costs should be obvious. Russia is going to do what Russia is going to do and we can either ignore it and watch it expand and get worse or intervene to help stop it. Either way it’s a war. The fact that the biggest war since WWII is happening in Europe it’s madness to say bad things won’t happen to our economy. You should expect to pay a price, and be happy that price isn’t higher as WWII caused far worse sacrifices of the American public, but they were also willing to do it
The bush tax cuts during the Iraq war to me was the turning point on this. It was the only time in history taxes were cut during a war. The expectation was set, we can be in a conflict and not ask the public to sacrifice anything to fund that conflict. Having no skin in the game became basically official policyCovid, excessive growth coming off covid which in and of itself causes inflation and we are where we are
it’s also important to remember tax cuts are inflationary and tax increases are deflationary. The first thing republicans will do is cut taxes. That doesn’t help.0 -

Change their vote…no? That was my initial point. So, since that is a reality…what can Biden do to put himself/party in the best position in the mid terms and then for re-election.I’ve seen nothing from anyone here. Most just say the GOP doesn’t have a plan, don’t care at this point cause gop doesn’t have the presidency. You’ve been consistent and I understand, but there have to be some levers to pull that could do something no? I’ve read a bunch but it really seems like most sources are biased one way or the other so tough to really know.hippiemom = goodness0 -

biden does not have control over a lot of it. the gas issue is corporate greed and price gouging. how can anybody combat that? i am concerned with how things are going. but coming out of a pandemic there are going to be supply chain issues. everybody knew that. i do not think you can hold biden specifically responsible for that. that said, i am getting concerned because the gop, for all of their faults, will probably take back both chambers and impeach biden over the hunter laptop thing."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
