Why I Can't Afford to Vote Democrat

[SpaceCoastVol]

you missed one but made my point

Nope. Only 1 is worth a damn. And how does that make your point? I want them to cut spending. Period. Live within a budget. The same thing I advocate for those that don't have ANY savings.

 

[utvolpj]

Sorry, you could have been more clear and you couldn’t be more wrong.

No I'm really not. People are not struggling because they had a beer on Friday night

 

[utvolpj]

Nope. Only 1 is worth a damn.

and that's why this discussion is useless. You would rather blow a trillion than help others in need.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Where have I ever advocated for everything to be free?

Funny how you speak about "my govt" yet support one that wastes trillions

LOL! So, trillions of dollars wasted stared with the Trump administration? Did you live under a rock during Obama’s time as President?

No but it has increased since he took office and he stated he doesn't even care about a budget. I was just as hard on Obama too.

An awful lot of people live beyond their means. They max out their credit cards and pay the minimums. They buy the most expensive car/house that they can qualify for, etc. They eat out too much. They have children they can't afford, and on and on.

Stacey Abrams agrees.

Budget? Trump doesn't care about the budget. What now?

Yeah, that is exactly what I said.

You believe what you want to believe.

Good to hear. I voted for DT but do not agree with everything he does & it is always a good policy to question the answers if you disagree with something.

Stacey Abrams agrees.

Her $200,000 in credit card debt includes a lot of trips to Popeye's.

Good Lord! How does someone rack up $200k in credit card debt?

 

[Orangeburst]

Good Lord! How does someone rack up $200k in credit card debt?

How does one even get that much credit? Must of been several cards.

No they are not struggling because they had beer on Friday night. They are struggling due to poor decisions or less rarely just plain bad luck but for whatever reason if you are struggling to feed your kids or put a roof over their heads you do not have beer on Friday night.

And it will increase under the next president.. and the next... until it can't

I understand their chicken sammich is mighty good, and it looks like she has eaten several.

Actually, it is $50,000 in back taxes owed, and $170,000 in student loans and credit card debt. So, $220 grand. Luther will vote for her.

I can concur, that sammich is addicting.

 

[VolStrom]

I understand their chicken sammich is mighty good, and it looks like she has eaten several.

Quick math tells me that she would have to eat 40,000 if they cost $5 each. That's a healthy appetite.

PJ is the board debt hawk. I wonder what his feelings are about her?

Oh, so you don't have data.. you only have your own beliefs. gotcha.

Here you go. here's some data for you:

23 Dizzying Average American Savings Statistics

If half of Americans cannot put $500 in a savings account to cover emergencies (See #11)... and I would wager a lot of those are making more than $15/hour... then please tell me where that money is going.

Personal. responsibility. and discipline. Something Americans do not have anymore because you leftists have convinced them that the .gov will care for them.

I lol’d at this one and frankly it explains so much conflict between the two age groups to me.


7. Which generation is the best at saving?
Baby boomers tend to do better when it comes to hanging on to their extra money. Adults aged 55 and older have a positive personal savings rate of about 13%.
8. Which one is the worst?
Millennials, on the other hand, meaning adults who are 35 and under, have a personal savings rate of negative 2%. Between high student loan debt and stagnating wages, saving anything at all proves to be impossible for many of them.

Nobody running cares about a budget

 

[hog88]

Nobody running cares about a budget

Budget? We don’t need no stinking budget.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Shhh, we just point those things out on one side while ignoring fake investigations.

 

[utvolpj]

Nobody running cares about a budget

Except Trump claimed to when campaigning and I keep being told how he has full support from conservatives.

Yep. We should all support the Democrats instead.
