You and I think alike........I just don't want to upset anyone here on the forum should I break any rules since I'm kinda new. But I totally agree with what you say. I will state we are somewhat better off financially today compared to 2019......our IRA has grown (even with the huge Covid caused downturn) but who can do the math on how much more our groceries and gasoline are costing. Gas has almost doubled here in NC since December 2020 ......I have Shell oil bills to prove it.....$1.57/gal then versus $2.92/gal today. Fortunately we don't drive that much anymore. At least I was able to use some IRA gains to purchase a new truck and pay off quick under the previous administration.......don't know how long it will hold out with this new inept bunch in. Might as well spend some of it before Joe ruins things totally. We got our eyes on a walk-in shower renovation for next year. Hope we can do it....be a lot safer taking a shower for us old folks.Legal immigration is not a new concept. You cant fly into the States Illegally that way. For security and Health reasons.
Yet the border is OPEN????? And if we question it, we are racist???? What a slap in the face. Like we are all dummies. And I blame the press for that.
Can I quote POTUS? "Come on Man". His favorite line.
Well I say the same to him, Come on, Man! What gives here?
It has been said, this illegal immigration will bolster out economy. What a joke. Surely there is a better excuse than this. We can't even take care of our Homeless citizens and the poverty we have. Sure, just print more money to support all the impoverished Illegals?? and keep inflation growing. What dumb move.
I can honestly say I was in a better financial position 2016-2019. We all were. How can anyone dispute this. Covid or no covid.
As far as immigration bolstering the economy....you're correct...a joke....I watched it for years when I still worked. My company employed lots of "foreigners" who were just "legal enough". Do you really think they paid any taxes? No. What did they do with a lot of their money? Sent it back home to bring in more of them...that's what. I know, they told me. Hope I don't get in trouble for this.
Yep, time to stop.....I've probably said too much......I apologize.....maybe I need to delete some of what I saidWe are risking getting this shut down here folks. I’m not going to add to the discussion regarding quasi political issues as we have been asked before not to wander that way. Hope you all find your way and stay safe and happy. F!?@ politicians of all types.
Good for you......peace and quite are priceless in today's worldI share with the wife.....
Yeah, we built new in Asheville...... got tired of people building on top of each other..... we thought of moving, and when they built a 600 unit apt building 8 blocks from our home on a 2 lane street that will NEVER be able to be widened (in the mtns, remember) we decided to sell and move to the country. We put an outrageous price on the house, got it, and now we enjoy living in the country.....in peace and quiet.....the prices here are going up, but are nowhere near Asheville prices.....
