My point was a memory from 2013 popped up about gas prices….being roughly the same as now…and it was under the Obama administration.

Did that hurt your feelings lol?  

Nope…if wages really haven’t went up much since then it doesn’t matter. 

Minimum wage was $7.25 a hour in 2013 which is what it is now so there’s that. Lol

I would never vote for Obama under any circumstance.

No feelings hurt here, you got me mistaken for a maga cult member. Lol

We are moving forward. Straight towards full-blown Socialism. Every time people want the Federal Government to do anything besides leave us alone, we get closer and closer.

I agree, terminate Obamacare and the convoluted restrictions that prohibit a customer to buy health insurance across a state lines. You can buy just about every other kind of insurance across state lines except health insurance.

Since I’ve been alive the cost of everything has risen astronomically and never consistently gone down. The national debt and government spending has always risen and has never gone down. This will never change without a catastrophic change. God help us all when this happens.

Why don’t you compare today’s prices to those back in mid-February of 2026, instead of 13 years ago?

The real problem is that people don’t realize that the deficit spending and debt have gotten a LOT worse in the last twelve years.  It went from 19.95 Trillion the day Trump was inaugurated in 2017 to 39 Trillion today… and we’re adding another trillion every 100 days at this point.  Analysts predict that number will be somewhere between 45 Trillion and 49 Trillion by the time Trump leaves office, assume that we’re all so unlucky that he serves his full term. We passed the 100% point of debt to gdp a couple of weeks ago. A milestone that hadn’t been hit since 1946 coming out of WWII. It will be somewhere closer to 107% of GDP by January of 2029. 
 

And no one cares. Retrofit a jet for Trump to take with him when he leaves office for a billion? No sweat.  A billion tax dollars for a new ballroom? We got this. A few hundred billion on a failed attempt to topple irans leadership? Why not? Tax cuts for anybody and everybody? I think we can spend our way out of debt. 
 

It’s insanity.

There was a money grab somewhere with Obamacare.  The number of urgent cares that popped up is staggering.

The numbers I've researched show that 40% of them are owned by hospital conglomerates, and are being used as low overhead practices to help the hospital system's profit margin. 35% are owned by major insurance companies like United Healthcare, etc. where care an be rationed and controlled. The rest are either private or private equity/corporation owned, and are just in it for the profit period.

Last I read, they're saying certain markets are becoming saturated with them, and the profit margin is no longer feasible for opening new ones. That should tell us all we need to know about their real purpose, and care isn't it.

Hopefully so. That’s a futures report, but I’m assuming it’s gonna take a huge drop, which it should once things are safe. France is sending their only carrier to the region, so that’s a good indicator that America has made it safe enough for them to gamble.

They're only there to surrender for the IRGC since they have more practice.
