Is Main Street longer or busier in some locales and nonexistent in others? And if so why? And is it time the American people learn the difference between wants and needs?

on my Main st. here in Monongahela Pa, the small park features a gazebo along with tributes to our armed forces the American flag is flown everyday, and the Ten commandments are proudly displayed, although heavily Democrat leaning it is the pro American side.

You know, I was shopping at Home Depot the other day, a place where I spend a lot of time (and $), and I got to thinking about what Biden said at the debate last week. Economically, I am much better off than I was eight years ago. However, I credit hard work, planning, and taking some risks with my financial growth. I thank the current administration for the tax breaks that I received and that's about it. I feel that the gov't has been too spend happy over domestic programs, especially in a time of war, and I wish that they would have reeled it in a long time ago. I think that the administration has made a lot of mistakes, but I'm still better off because of what I have done, not because of what the gov't has done.

As for the foreign policy, I haven't seen a successful terrorist attack on this soil since 9/11. I feel relatively safe because I have chosen to live away from major metro areas, I don't use public transportation, and I am a legal citizen of this great country. I do wish that this administration would do something about these extremely pourous borders and work MUCH harder to expel illegals who are caught commiting a crime.

While I was there, I didn't bother to ask anyone else if they were better off, but I am. However, no one asked me either. FWIW...



"walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off in the last eight years."

I have a friend who works for a company that provides music to cell phone users. The business is booming. It didn’t exist 8 years ago. I am glad for my friends sake that too many people are confused about wants and needs.
The government has given in to people’s wants with entitlement programs and of course confused the want of an “American Dream” of homeownership with a need.
