    Financial literacy in this country is abysmal. A majority of financial decisions made by Americans are dictated by emotion. It doesn’t mean we as a society should placate bad decisions people make based on their emotional whims. We should educate them. When they say stupid shit like, the economy is so bad! We should say I’m sorry it’s bad for you, but fortunately for the vast majority of Americans it’s actually really great. But inflation is killing me! USUC says, well bud, maybe you should examine your spending habits, your savings rates, and the industry you work in. But all my friends and family say the economy is killing them! Well maybe you should stop hanging with poors.

    The solution to financial literacy is not indulging folks, especially people on this board with its collective net worth and IQ.

      Thanks, but I can't see what that condescending diatribe has to do with the topic at hand, i.e., whether a person's feelings about the economy influences their decision to vote for one party or another.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          Biden should challenge Trump to a televised cognitive test:



          Tim Scott may want to reconsider that endorsement.

              You know how Trump always assumes he is smarter than everyone else? And how he always results to ad hominem arguments? Kind of gets old, doesn't it.

                            Not only that, but he went after Haley hard on the way out. What a schmuck.

                            I heard a good line today. The deSantis campaign should have been called the Sixth Sense campaign. He was dead the whole time.

                            BTW, please spell deSantis with a small d. For obvious reasons.

                              So Fus, is it still not OK to register as a Republican to vote for Haley in the primaries or is it still fascist to do so?

                                In his campaign suspension speech, deSantis mentioned two things he disagreed with Trump; Covid policies and his support of Fauci. Not the authoritarianism, the demagoguery, the lying, the criming, the debasing of the political tone of the country. What a laughably pathetic response. In the end, he supported Trump policies as strongly as anyone. It should be as plain as day that the GOP primary voters do not want any imitation of Trump. And now deSantis will be thrown in the dustbin of previous critics who end up wholeheartedly supporting him; a hiss and a byword, with no chance of becoming president.
