You have to account for the inflation that has occurred through that time.

Yup.

Inflation is the ONLY thing Biden gets credit for.

I'm taking that as a no.

I'm just sayin' give him credit for the whole picture. If the arsonist puts out the fire, does he get credit for saving the house?

The Dow has skyrocketed 3,736 points, or 20%, over the past week. The stunning rally is raising hopes that the devastating coronavirus bear market may already be over, or at least that the lows of the crisis have been put in.

I believe Mark Twain was correct when he said statistics were one of 3 lies.

They say inflation is down but I haven't seen it. Everything still seems overpriced to me.

The rate that inflation is climbing is down. Not inflation itself.

All i know what from 2008 to 2012, it was Bush's fault and from 2012 onward, YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gcode]

Yes but that's not how they spin it   

if a Republican was president the current inflation rate would be a moonshot

[beej]

if a Republican was president the current inflation rate would be a moonshot

And there would be a story on the nightly news every night about some single mother of 5 working 2 jobs and still unable to pay rent, and through her tears she would say, "Republicans don't care about me." "Back to you, Norah."

Norah: And now we turn to a heartwarming story, where some non-republicans try to make a difference in a young man's life....

I don't know if that's still what CBS does, I haven't watched them in a few years.

never heard of it. when?

[Tim Johnson]

never heard of it. when?

I'm bad with my sense of time but I think it was the early 2000's. Maybe it was just in our Company 401k. Most everyone in our machine shop had it and I would expect the same in all of the other departments.
