    transcript

    One of the things that I find is — I look at and I take it very seriously the confidence level of the American people in the economy. And they’re so down and they’re looking — there’s reason to be down, but I started thinking about it. And, Brian, you and I talked about it just a little bit.

    You know, the first year, we were able to, with the — with the Rescue Plan, we were able to send them a check for eight grand. I mean, a check. One — and beyond that, by the way; there was more than that.

    But when you’re mak- — if you’re making 120 grand and you get a check for 8 grand, that’s a lot of money. And so it helped save a lot of people, in terms of getting thrown out of their homes and rental housing and a whole range of things.

    But I started thinking about it, just as, you know, somebody who’s raised as a middle-class kid. One year, even though you didn’t have the job you have now, even though you didn’t get a raise that year, the difference between having a job, having a 5 percent raise or whatever — 3,5,7, whatever it happens to be — in the face of inflation, the price at the pump — although that’s down every day so far. But, you know, it’s like, “Whoa, I feel worse off.” But then again, I didn’t get a check for eight grand from the government. They just — among other things. Does that make any sense to anybody, or is it just me?

      for four years we had to deal with libs spitting out rambling transcripts exactly like this as proof of not only Trump's incompetency, but his genuine insanity, or sundowning inability to function as an adult - and here we are, where the same shit or worse is just buried.

        Not to whataboutism but in thsi case both can be senile. A life of no consequences or real stress and easy drugs plus age appropriate congnative decline gives you about this kinda thing

          Yeah I guess that was my point. Pudding brained geezers on all sides, yet libs only made a big deal about the orange man and bend over backwards to make excuses for ol' joe
