i appreciate what Robert wrote, it represents what is happening all over this country, and much worse.Grace wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 2:27 pmI am sorry you are struggling, Robert. Not only are they passing bills to fund wars, don’t forget the money taken from you and every other taxpayer by Biden, to pay off 1.2 billion in student loan debt.Robert wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 11:49 amYes, I am really feeling that. I am drawing Social Security and working full time. My income is capped until I reach 66. This means I can not make more and inflation is really cutting deep into our income. In two months, I will be forced to pay for Medicare, which will take another $170 a month, after paying for Medicare for over 40 years in my pay deductions.
Yes, we are better off than most the world, but some of the world is catching up and passing me. It greatly limits how much I can help others since it is taking more than 100% to maintain right now. Summer is coming with massive electric bills too.
Most the US, 70% say it is on the wrong track, is feeling the Bidenomics also. Then they pass $100 billion more for wars and just print the money to cover it which is drive even more inflation.
It is easy to be at peace when you are not struggling to pay bills and taxes.
Somewhere, RZehr noted how much his family grocery bills are, possibly more than i’ve ever earned.
i’ve survived lots of economic downturns over decades. i don’t recall any of them hurting young people’s spirits as much as the present. the value of money has lost its meaning. the idea of having “enough” is fading. the current message is: no matter what you have or achieve, it’s not enough. that is seriously demoralizing to young people. every gov handout just makes everything worse.
suicide rates remain high. another indicator of unhealthy policies.
Jesus knows the life-death importance of Hope for human souls.
