'Bidenomics' can be most accurately defined as slowing economic growth, a gradually deteriorating jobs market, high inflation and diminished purchasing power.
"At least I could buy a car four years ago. I could also afford to fill the tank."
That’s the damning sentiment that Joe Biden must confront as voters begin to ask themselves the quadrennial question posed by Ronald Reagan in 1980: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”
According to Gallup’s latest survey on the question, fully half of Americans say they’re worse off than they were just one year ago, let alone four.
Since Gallup began asking that question in 1976, only once has the number reached that peak: amid the depth of the Great Recession in 2009. Accordingly, American voters are even gloomier today than they were when Ronald Reagan asked that question on the eve of his crushing victory over Jimmy Carter.

We require and deserve trustworthy quality of character in all candidates, with presidential candidates in both parties setting decent standards, if we are not going to continue our downhill slide as a nation.
Haven't we put in enough time as a nation with rotten apple type elected and appointed folks in government setting a lack of standards? It doesn't take many, especially when they are constantly being glorified in the news, to exacerbate and create problems.
I hope we can continue to look in the direction of shining a light on systemic corruption within political party machinery as a way to navigate through the worst of the problems that repeatedly result in unacceptable choices of candidates.
