I haven't had any problems making money under Obama, Trump, or Biden's presidencies. But I sure can safely say I spent a lot more money under Biden and Obama for fuel, groceries, etc. than under Trump.

So yeah, Democrats seem to make living more expensive.

People are quitting left and right to make more money. If you ain't one of them that's on you.

Something about these administrations fuck my paper up.

Like I was always employed under Bush and then I was pretty much poor and unemployed/underemployed for almost the entire Obama administration.

Fuel was at its worst during Bushs terms then got a lot cheaper after Obama got elected and prices remained low throughout his administration.

People who quit their job ruin everything, but it doesn't count if you just switch to something slightly better and have them replace you with someone cheaper

Funny. When Trump took office he started a trade war with Canada that killed my job, and then his actions as president killed my brother. So yeah, now that I think about it, my life has been shit ever since Trump was first elected.

My guess is you were too young to remember gas being under $1.25 a gallon (going as low as 97 cents in the summer of 96) for most of Bill Clinton's Presidency.

It's odd how affordable things are when the President isn't running the country on a deficit.

Honestly since '08 I've been trying to get ahead while there is a Republican in office. There following term would be getting slammed by all of the stealing and backdoor policies.

If Democrats even win in '24 that's still 4 years of crawling out of this recession/inflation. Then I'm sure Republicans will be back in the WH, then it's all over again.

Clinton rolls back national debt.
Bush adds trillions to national debt.
Obama reduces the debt deficit.
Trump adds trillions to national debt.
I think Im starting to see a pattern here.

you mean it's odd how affordable things are when it's 20 years ago and inflation steadily rises over time

Your own chart shows it depends on the item.

The person I responded to specifically mentioned fuel and groceries, the two things that went down and stayed (relatively) level during Obama's administration.

There's a reason why something like 87% of all US recessions have happened while a Republican was in office.

my chart shows that in general luxuries get cheaper, survival needs inflated at levels equivalent to wages, and quality of life needs inflated at levels much faster than wages

meanwhile gasoline bopped all over the place and is only discussed because the swings in it are so fast that people notice

Should make a new graph. You only need three lines: stuff you need to survive going up, stuff that is nice to have going down, and gas doing its best Magikarp impression.

I think its because they fail to generate the kind of chaos I need to thrive. When a Trump was in power, it was insanity. As the mania grew, I became increasingly rich. I need chaos.

i think four lines:

critical life necessities (food/shelter) closely follow wages

extended life necessities for quality of life (medical care/education) exponentially grow much faster

luxuries plummet

gas clearly not driven by inflation

Um did you forget about 2012 when the price of gas hit about $4 a gallon?
