US debt has grown by almost $7 trillion and we have 10 million more illegals in the country since Biden took office. I may be doing better today but it's at the expense of my kids and grandkids. Personally I'd have to be a real dumb SOB to think I'm doing better now than 3 years ago.

This in spades. I honestly wouldn’t give 2 wabi’s if I was rolling in dough right now, no reason to celebrate. This country is in the [bleep] and the future isn’t looking any brighter.
perhaps for some the question isn't are you better off than 4 years ago
the question should be would you better off without the economic effect of Biden.
If you got a pay increase (probably in some part due to the incredible increase in the cost of living), you're making more money than 4 years ago - but I bet you aren't eating steak as often.
$3.50 a gallon gas, 50% increase in home energy bills, 8% interest rates on home mortgages, at least 30% increase in food prices.
Maybe your individual life got better but compared to what it could be, you're down at least 20% in purchasing power and savings.
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
4 years ago you were living in Venezuela, Haiti, or some other Third World CaCahole.
Just pointing out the obvious.
How about those you forced to take the Jab, or else. Is their health better or is it quite possibly worse?
Is this directed to me?
IF so I'll take a stab at explaining.
I worked for the army's lessons learned organization. One of the conditions in our position descriptions for analysts beside the normal security clearance requirements is to remain in a "deployable status" IAW with state department and joint travel regulations. Pretty black and white, cut and dry. You met the standard which included physical abilities, immunizations etc. or you didn't. IF you didn't you failed to meet the conditions for employment. Everybody in my section and the organization as a whole for the most part must remain deployable, it's part of the job. IF you're not for whatever reason, and a mission comes down someone will take your place.. period.
During this period for instance I traveled to; Korea, Armenia, Germany (2), Bosnia and the UKR. All of which at that time had immunization and testing requirements. Had I been non-deployable, someone would have had to take my place. Previously I had travelled to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo etc.
At the time I was a GS13 supervisor in charge of our organizations future ops section, responsible for planning large scale collections for contingency operations and exercises. I had 12 employees in my branch, two of which were an army captain and an sergeant First class along with a small IT section and 3 GS12 "planners". Luckily none of my folks refused the "jab", so it was a non issue in my branch. To my knowledge none have had health issues.
Had they refused, I would have processed them for elimination. Because it was my job, and due to a twisted sense of fairness. In our organization of approximately 95 pax, we had one analyst refuse the vaccine and he resigned prior to being removed.
I am proud of his character even if he ended up temporarily unemployed. I bet it didn’t last long, character like that is hard to find these days.
I agree.. zero issues with taking a stand and accepting the consequences. It's the weasels that want it both ways that I take exception to.
What a weasel chkunt you are.
So, you would let him stay, and have other guys take his place on missions.. right?
Unfortunately (or fortunately for guys like you) some of us have to live with big boy rules.
I won't fence with a feckless chkunt. You disgust me.
I take it we're not exchanging cards this X-mas then?
“Might does not make right but it sure makes what is.”
Making more money than I ever have (even after accounting for that bit of inflation we had). Retirement accounts and investments have more than doubled in the last four years.
Daughter finished college with a degree in human physiology. Went on to agent a masters in nursing and is working as a pediatric nurse in an emergency room. She finds it really exciting and fulfilling.
4 years ago my son was having difficulty in high school due to his ADHD, but was able to get into a good university and seem to be progressing fine there.
My community seems to be back to normal after the pandemic and other issues before the last 4 years. Still a few issues, but mostly back to normal.
Catch a clue RHOD. You imagine you are better off because you have some money and your kids appear to be doing fine... Consider expanding your vision outside of the four people that make up your world? Example: BLM rioters in Portland burned the city for 18 months. Read that again if you need to. This included barricading police in a neighborhood station and throwing fire bombs through the windows. Zero prosecutions. This is the world you are leaving your kids to. Sure, you don't live in Portland so blah blah blah... You seriously don't imagine this is coming for you and your kids?? Still think you're better off?

First, you have no clue what you are talking about.
Second, what was going on in Portland with regard to BLM took place previous to the last 4 years.
RHOD, Wrong twice. Congrats? I've lived in the state for 40 years.. I have a fair idea what's been going on here, despite my efforts to the contrary. If, despite your vague response, you mean that Portland was left leaning and so invited BLM.. I'd have to agree. Are you aware that Portland wasn't always this way? Are you aware that cities in every state are trending this way? Tell me again how secure you are about your vision of the future you are leaving to your kids.. Or do you just mean that you have lots of snacks and a boat? BFD .
The only way you can be better off is if you are and everything around you in our country is not going to hell. But thanks to liberalism and the bidenistas everything is going to hell so none of us are are doing better no.matter how much your personal situation improves..mb
