Biden may have helped sustain capitalism -and taxing the rich to provide more for the rest of society is a very helpful thing. But he has not focused on the COST OF LIVING for the lower working class. These have not been helped by the wars in Ukraine and the middle east which Biden has enabled and are now getting much worse. He also has not acknowledged the huge numbers of immigrants who still enter the US work for such low wages that lower working class US citizens cannot compete and have had to live on much lower wages or lost jobs for decades. I saw this from Princeton NJ already in the 80's when women's work cleaning houses an caring for kids, etc. came to be done by non-citizen immigrants who were much cheaper than black workers from Trenton - and ditto for male labor doing work on houses, etc. came to be done by immigrants becasue they were cheaper. The people who owned the businesses grew richer but black Trentonians lost their jobs and grew much poorer. This trend seems to have continued throughout the country.
Biden has indeed rebuilt the economy and capitalism, but at a tremendous loss to lower working class US citizens. Trump's agenda seeks to help them by reducing cheap labor coming in through the southern border.
Trump may claim that's part of his agenda but don't you remember what he did while in office last time? We barely had a functioning government. Everyday was a complete sh*t show and the economy was not better than it is now or at anytime during the last 4 yrs. I understand your concerns. Personally, I think high prices are the result of price gouging by large companies.
I think the ridiculous minimum wage levels over the last 4 decades and the killing of most unions, has contributed far more to making life at the bottom of the economy more miserable and difficult. Migrants do not get the snap food subsidies nor do they get Medicaid, or many other gov't subsidies that allow the poor to survive. We definitely have a multi-pronged problem with no simple or easy solution.
Contrary to what trumpers believe , undocumented people do not get social security (have to have a social security number) but have paid 96 billion dollars (34 billion into social security) into federal taxes.
Well, Virginia, you are welcome to present your solutions here. How would you stop people from leaving Venezuela and Central America? Do you believe the Republican lies that Biden invited them in? Is it morally correct to murder these people with razor wire in the Rio Grande or machine guns? Should we ignore global warming so that crop failures occur in Central America? Should Biden build a wall? Are you aware that a little work with a radial saw can make a hole in a metal wall, and that tunnels have been made under them? How do we stop the significant number of immigrants that fly in as tourists? Now, please tell me your theory on how Biden has enabled the war in Ukraine, and your solution. Did Biden encourage Putin to invade? What do you think Trumps solution will be if he is elected? I am pretty sure he will cut off support and Russia will offer a peace plan in which almost the entire country is made part of Russia. What do you think this would lead Zelensky to do as his only option? Could that option be the cause of WW III? Now tell me how a "weak" Biden, that has stood by Zelensky could be that cause of WW III? Have you studied what happened in WW II? A so-called "Strong man" leader was elected in Germany to solve their economic problems, and that didn't work out well. Trump will be using plan 2025 if elected. Read it.
Who hires these undocumented workers? Americans looking to make more money by cutting labor costs. Solution: Don't hire undocumented workers. It would be interesting to see how many Americans would work picking crops or meat packing companies or lawn services, or construction workers.
