Are You Better Off Today Than A Year Ago?

Issues & Insights: I&I/TIPP Poll: Are You Better Off Today Than A Year Ago? By 4-To-1, Americans Say ‘No’ 

Are you better off today under President Joe Biden than you were a year earlier? And are you financially prepared for a downturn in the economy or a job loss? The March I&I/TIPP Poll suggests most Americans would answer “no” to both of those questions.

Insurance companies have a hard time crossing state lines because of the law. That was set up around WW2.

So what were you blathering about?
