Are you better off today than a year ago? Most Americans say no

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rising inflation, economic instability and persistent political divisions show that the U.S. has not progressed much over the last year, Americans told Fox News.

"Purely from the United States' standpoint, I don't see a whole lot of difference from last year to this year," one man, Steve, said.

One woman, Tamara, said: "I'm sorry, is that a rhetorical question? American progress?"

"Yeah. I see gas prices progressively going higher," she continued. "You know, I see our economy progressively going worse."

The answer is no. Apparently, world peace, $1.60 gas, secured borders, low inflation, high wages, more jobs, allies and enemies who respect us, strong economy, stocked shelves, and informative Tweets were just too good for some people to handle.

I&I/TIPP Poll: Are You Better Off Today Than A Year Ago? By 4-To-1, Americans Say 'No'

Taken as a whole, that means 78% of Americans have seen no progress or improvement at all in their financial and economic lives since Biden took over in early 2020. Despite this, Biden's recent speeches have included references to the “best economic growth in the last four decades.”

Best situation ever. Life goals.. Exceeded!!

However, the primacy of lies is soul crushing and my rage is white hot.

With this new prescription,
I can go three hours at night before I have to get up to pee,
A year ago I could only go for two hours.
So, I got that going for me.

It will be better when we finally get gas prices high enough to keep all those revolting peasants from clogging up my roads

The only people who could possibly be happy are (a) those who want to suffer, (b) those who want others to suffer, (c) those who believe fossil fuels are the evil of society, or (d) those who are making money hand over fist at the expense of working Americans (i.e. stock market manipulations, etc.).

YES! I am much much MUCH better off than a year ago because when i gas up, it costs me more than twice as more, and as everyone knows, more is better- I also can’;t buy as much at the store- so i don’t throw my back out carrying it to the car, and my wallet is much lighter now, so the scale doesn’t go up as high anymore-

So yes, I’m much better off /s

Gas prices are creeping up faster than Biden on a 12 yr. old.
