OK. Since history is irrelevant: Biden’s numbers are dropping, but it means nothing because we have nothing to compare it to.

So, why bring it up if we don’t know what it means?

We DO know what it means. It means he is not doing his job well and this is reflected by his dropping approval ratings.

Biden/Harris... Losing.

all i know is . ..

When wages (blue line) are above inflation (red line) our income is growing, life is good and the working class has more disposable income to enjoy life. However, when wages (blue line) are lower than inflation (red line) our income is shrinking, life is a struggle and the working class has less disposable income to enjoy life.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but i usually vote republican because im big on 2A ..... that aside, i dont see how anyone thinks Biden / Harris is "winning"

even if (hypothetically) they are doing better then Trump. . . . they are still losing

Republicans and democrats don’t care about facts. Just look at this shitshow thread. You are wasting your time using reason around here.

So, you think opinion is fact, then. The metrics show that things are improving under this administration, but opinion is dropping, therefore he is not doing the job well.

Interesting. If a new CEO turns a company around but she is less popular than the old failing CEO, is she not doing the job well?

Honest question: Do you get a raise whenever prices start to rise?

Honest question: Do you get a raise whenever prices start to rise?

yes

its called cost of living

i get a 2-3.5% annual raise on top of my performance evaluation raise

and i can tell you with all certainty that inflation while Biden has been in office has completely negated my cost of living increase for at least the next 2 years

not winning sir.

I meant AS the host of living rises (like an immediate adjuster). So, I’ll assume you get a raise to cover the increased COL.

If you get an annual raise to cover the COL increase, how can you predict your raise won’t cover the COL increase (or did you mean your raise is fixed and not really based on COL changes)?

Historically speaking, when COL dropped, did you get wage reduction?

the COL increase is based on a projected percentage. my employer puts in a bid for the rate increase, and the state approves or denies it. The projection does not account for inflation increases that people in office create... so its a min of 2% and has a ceiling of 3.5%. Inflation was 5.9% in 2021 so my COL increase is null for the next two years even if we get approved for the max 3.5% (which has only ever happened once under Trump).

no, my wages dont slide up and down with the scale of costs and im sure nobody's does.... we work on a projected analysis and the inflation under this administration has already decided my vote next election cycle

and I dont really want to hear of all the excuses for inflation, short supply high demand, rising gas prices etc... because in your own words

"Who was POTUS when it happened? Trump. The man in charge takes the lumps."

Yes indeed he does.
1. Will average inflation increases have outpaced average income increases at the end of Biden’s presidency?
2. Does inflation usually drop when we are in recession?
3. Does inflation usually rise when we are coming out of a recession?

You’re going down a rabbit hole of stupidity with this guy. He will cherry pick any number he can find without context to support his argument without end. There are about 100 pages of his political manifesto in this thread that will answer all your questions.

If the Republicans win the mid terms are they going to accept the election results?

1. If the Republicans win then it was a fair election.
2. If the Democrats win then the Republicans will cry and say that the Democrats cheated.

Tell me I'm wrong.

We (taxpayers) spent 50 million dollars based on "russian collusion" that never happend. You're not completely wrong, but democrats are the worst offenders.
