> at least the country was in pretty good shape when he was president.
As if any Prez has direct control over inflation. If he did, that would be a command economy, which is what the USSR had. It collapsed. We have a market economy, which means the primary driver of inflation is greed for the bottom line by corporations. Last time I checked, even though the corporations are heavily GOPlican types, our economy hasn't collapsed.
> Have you looked at your 401K balance lately?
Yes.
> Been shopping for just about anything?
Yes.
> How's the cost of gas treating you?
Prices go up, prices go down, all without the use of a Presidential magic wand. It's a cat and mouse game which started accelerating shortly after WWI.
> I'm getting broker by the minute.
Poor baby, perhaps it's time to learn some fiscal responsibility.
