Guest host Alex Witt asked, “[A]s you know, a majority of Americans still say they are living paycheck-to-paycheck. So, what is the message to those people who don’t really personally feel the economy improving, despite the White House’s messaging?”

Give Joe Biden a calculator. He obviously has problems with grade school math.

Total bull cookies. I’m effectively living check to check, since I’m trying to maintain a cushion of money, so I can’t sock away any into a 401(k). While I’m setting some aside, it will go into property taxes and home insurance. Therefore, effectively check to check.

FJB and LGB.

The itsy bitsy paycheck deposited to my account.
Down came the bills and wiped the money out.

My plan is to learn some Spanish lingo, take a cheap trip to Cancun, get some sun, walk across the border and declare asylum.

Obamaphone, put me up in the Hampton Inn, with room service.

I'm 67 but can't afford to retire.

Illegals are treated like kings, legacy Americans, like 💩

Indeed on News Nation they had a daffy democrat woman hack saying people won’t see the money of Biden’s work until next year.

And you know the slow ones will buy it.
