The Biden adminstration will have allowed between 8 and 10 million known elligals not counting the got aways into our country during his presidency. The got aways are the ones we need to worry about the most. Probably terrorist.

I used to think this way. But it's been 3 years since Biden took office and stopped the "remain in Mexico" rule. And we still haven't had a terrorist attack. So much of this is just fear mongering propaganda.
Agreed, we need to secure the border. But even moreso, they, Trump and Biden both, need to address "why" they come here. And the bottom line is money. (it's always money)

Most Mexicans and South Americans are lucky to make $15 per day. The minimum wage in MX is only $10 per day. (Yes, per day). They can make as much in one day here, as they can in a week there.

The end all solution to this is to address our monetary policy.
Right now, $25hr is a lower middle class wage. (or about that) This is because our currency is over inflated. $25 doesn't buy $25 worth of goods anymore. There was a time, not too long ago, (maybe 50 years) where a person making $8hr could live pretty good. We need to return to that.
Would you rather have $20 that bought $20 worth of goods? Or $100 that bought $20 worth of goods?
It doesn't matter, does it? We're still getting $20 worth of goods.
Where the huge benefit comes is when companies can hire people for $8hr and the employee can be satisficed with that amount, because they can live pretty good on it. Once the wages come down (drastically), so will the prices of everything else. Then those companies can not only afford to expand and hire more people. But also other countries can afford to buy American products. This is how the USA was able to become the manufacturing giant of the world. It wasn't until big spending politicians started over inflating the USD value by ballooning the debt, did US companies started outsourcing so much of our labor.

If $1 USD was equal to 1 Peso, the flood of immigrants would stop. US manufacturing jobs would come pouring back so much so that illegal immigration wouldn't be a problem.
But politicians don't want to solve either of these two problems. They want to keep the problem alive to keep you voting and donating.


If all of this is confusing, I understand. It took me a few years to finally get it.

P.S. I'm not holding my breath for the House, Senate or the president (any of them) to get it either.

When it comes down to voting we have a better of electing a pet rock for at least we know it will do more than most politicians.

Everything I own is paid for.
Doesn't change the fact that our cost of living has went through the roof the past couple years.
Our gas here is still at 3.40/gal

You're problem is the same as everyone's. But the solution is addressing the monetary policies and the USD value.

"We the people" need to realize that no president can make the economy better. Nor can they reduce the price of gas. That is, unless we want to have a chancellor.

People look back to 2017 and 2018 and think that Trump had something to do with how well the economy and fuel prices were. The fact is, Trump just got lucky to be elected when the economy was finally leveling out and we were adjusting to it. Fact is, the economy was worse off during Trump than it was 5 years prior. But since we'd adjusted to it, we forgot how much better things were the last time the economy had recovered.
FYI, Trump was also lucky he lost the 2020 election. Because the economic down turn and the oil bust cycle was coming, regardless of who was president.
The $8 trillion that Trump, Ryan and Pelosi spent, caused a lot of that 8% inflation increase. All the money that Biden spent, is going to cause the next inflation increase.
It won't be overnight. It takes a few years for all that spending to show up in the economy and cause economic downturns and inflation increases.
Trump and Biden both didn't do anything different than the rest of them, starting with Reagan, has done. Dump trillions of new money into the economy. Make everything look good for a few years. Then the bill comes due. The economy spirals down, and we all have to tighten our belts and get through it. And just about the time we've made it through all that, the next president comes in and dumps trillions more into the economy and the cycle starts all over again.

This, IMO, is the fault of Republican voters who keep voting for big spending Republicans because they don't truly understand fiscal conservatism. I mean they sort of understand it. But they never hold their republican politicians accountable for their overspending. 60 years ago, the GOP would've kicked Trump out of the white house for spending so much, assaulting our 2A, forcing landlords to go without rent payments, suspending the debt ceiling for 2 years. Along with all those republicans who supported him. Now days they're trying to make him chancellor.

Every congressman and senator in my state are republicans. (RINO's). Our state legislature is about 70% Republican. And almost every one of them are Trump supporting RINO's as well.

When I try to explain fiscal conservatism to them, I get called things like "liberal" or a Biden supporter. Or some childish name that's not even close. And the democrats call me a Trump supporter.

An tell me again what country you live in that makes you such an authority on the United States of America. Name the one crime Trump has been convicted of. All these charges are baseless false charges. Biden is the criminal in the White House. Selling the Biden Brand to China, Russia. Ukrain and the rest of the world. Allowing a Chines balloon to fly over the US and steal top secret information before he finally shoots it down after it has run it course and is out to sea where the information has probably been ruined but China already has it.

 

[StarTech]

Look here HLW49 neither you nor I know the whole truth about anything other than our personal space. So stop listening to just one source and listen multiple sources and try to filter through the static instead just blindly believing in one source. BTW Trump has been convicted of some the civil charges already. Right now his tactics is just trying to delay things as long as he can any of the pending criminal trials.

As for the Chinese balloon you do know that one of our internet providers relay the data from it to China don't you? I don't hear you screaming about that.

Biden said he was going to end oil, but he's pumping out more than ever...and without filling the reserves. Killing Our Mother. Some other President will have to 'own' that Debt to refill it.

Here's a few things Trumps guilty of.

Reauthorizing warrantless spying on Americans. (FISA 702)
Assaulting our 2A (Banning bump stocks) Luckily a constitutional judge deemed it unconstitutional and reversed Trumps ban.
He also stated he was in favor of "take the guns first. Do due process later." <<His exact words
Lying about nearly everything.
Borrowing and spending way more than the government takes in, and helping to create the 8% inflation hike.
Getting US, Mexico and Saudi oil producers to decrease oil production. Decreasing productions always leads to fuel price increases.
Forcing landlords to go without rent payments for a year. (the first covid mandate)
On his last day in office, he gave Fauci an award.
He tried to give blacks reparations to the tune of $500 billion (The Platinum Plan)
He didn't "lock her up." He didn't even try. Even after it was known that she funded the initial stages of the whole "Russia collusion" scandal.

Most of these things should've been impeachable offences. Maybe his idea of protecting and defending the US constitution has a different meaning to him.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserves are going through maintenance that was scheduled years ago. But because of the Russia/Saudi oil price war (making oil so cheap) they put off the maintenance.
They can only refill about 3 million barrels per month because of the maintenance. Plus, there's no big hurry to refill now due to the oil prices that are still kind of high. But coming down.

Biden sold some to China, at a high price. Which recouped some of the money from releasing a lot of it to the public because of the high price at the pump.

If the government was transparent on everything, there would be a rebellion.
