    Nothing, not even basic necessities like food, is even remotely affordable anymore, let along a roof over your head. Yet they still want us to work to the bone like slaves and have babies while somehow not having a place to live. Biden has passed some great legislation but the economy is nowhere near ok for anyone except the 1%.

      Takes time to turn the ship around after only a single term of conservative rule. It’s the same in every country. The right ruins the economy and then the left have to fix it while the right spends all it’s time in opposition blaming the left for the mess they themselves caused (while trying to sabotage any reform).

        Dude, the economy wasn’t doing great under Obama either. He did the same thing, pointed at employment numbers and GDP while people were struggling. More than half the homeless people in my area report they did not come from another city. They had been slowly sliding out of being able to afford housing for the last decade. Even while working full time.

          Obama who came in as the 2008 recession was in full swing? You’re just proving his point.
