Honestly Democratic or Republican president in office our country is just as bad as it was during the great Depression. The amount of people out of work is insane! The gas prices and inflation are just absolutely ridiculous. Even the stock market isnt holding up well. I fear for our country for the future.
I'm not sure the stock market is doing bad. Not that right now it's at a high. More because exponetial growth in the market that was outpacing the growth of capitalist nations populations. It went up to much too fast.
Gas or oil pricing, though is highly manipulated and it's overpriced.
Inflation is only bad in some other areas. What bothers me the most is medical costs. Hospitals are run poorly compared to other businesses and we are forced to pay for it. Doctors are way overpaid. Doctors are only good at one thing, something that doesn't make people better. Prescribing expensive tests. Insurance is a borderline scam that directly and indirectly pushes prices upward.
We are really out of luck on food prices. Because of improving basic living conditions in china and India thier diet is increasing. So a third of the population on earth is eating about twice as much. Did you ever hear that corn being used for ethanol was causing all sorts of prices to go up? The prices went up because china started eating more protien Chickens are the source and chickens eat almost purely corn.
Watch the politicains carefully. The middle east is falling apart, and this will put a giant target on israel's back. We'll see if our government keeps our middle east country alive or not.
