Are you better off than you were four years ago?

[PCIntern]

This was Reagan’s question in 1980. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

[LuckyCharms]

1. Nope. Not even close. n/t

[demigoddess]

2. No Way!!!

I'm stuck at home, can't go grocery shopping. Can't have my kids over for dinner. Depressed as heck. Can't stand to listen to the news.

[Skittles]

3. I know my country isn't

THAT'S for sure

4. Today is Father's Day. My three kids texted me.

Ordinarily we would all go out to dinner, grand kids included. Trump screwed up my country royally.

5. Ask that again when the Republican Party ends the unemployment boost.

[Niagara]

6. No.

Neither is anyone else.

[Blue_true]

7. For me, yes, but it has nothing to do with Trump.

If fact, Trump has made some aspects of what I do now more difficult.

8. I know 45 million people who will ASSURE you they are. Believe it or not.

[shanti]

9. Well

Since I turned 62 in the middle of it, and started getting my SS, I would have to say yes, I am doing better, but only financially, definitely not psychologically. Grateful to be retired.

10. It's almost time to run an ad with this line. Not yet though. Let's wait until October when there...

will be even more virus deaths and people hurting from being unemployed again from premature re-openings.

12. Given the context (personal finances), unquestionably yes.

[Luciferous]

13. No

[Cicada]

14. For many millions the answer is yes, but not after July 31

The unemployment bonus $600 per week plus the stimulus check plus the decline in entertainment and dining spending leaves tens of millions better off financially. But when the six hundred stops after July 31 there could be an economic disaster. Rent, mortgage, car payments will stop by the millions. Unless Trump realizes his re-election requires a second dose of economic salvation.

So are you better off than four years ago? For many people the answer right now is yes. Yet despite that Trump is drifting down in polls. After July 31 he may crater.

[gladium et scutum]

15. Yes

Zero debt, Military retirement, Social Security, Medicare and Tricare for life. Everything is going my way.

[Kaleva]

16. Yes but it has nothing to do with Trump.

The kids have good jobs and own their own homes. The grand-kids are well taken care of, healthy and happy. My wife and I are financially stable and want for nothing.

[RainCaster]

17. No. Hell no.

[Jamaal510]

18. I'm no better off,

but in fairness I'm not really any worse off either, aside from having my Summer/Fall plans altered by quarantine.

[HotTeaBag]

19. No, but it's not Trump's fault.

It's mine.

The country being worse off than it was four years ago however, is almost solely Trump's fault.

[MiniMe]

20. Yes, but it has nothing to do with tRump

I have some investments, and they have increased by about 50% since I inherited it which was in 2013. I've been lucky
