Let's take an honest look.
#1
Without taking a stab at one politician or another, or one member or another, how is this economy working for you or those around you? No need for articles from sources one side or the other doesn't trust. Be serious with yourselves. What's your personal experience? Why do you defend or condemn the current administration and its policies as it pertains to you? I'm requesting from your personal standpoint. How have things effected you? How's your community doing? How's your family doing?

Our biggest debates here are probably immigration, inflation, government accountability, etc. Try to be honest without caving to your desire to defend your party (if you have one).

WTS, How am I effected? Things are much tighter than they were. Inflation has not crushed our household, but we do feel the sting. We don't do without, but I see it largely in my community. I see a rise in community dinners to the point where people are relying on them. I have seen a rise in crime, but not substantially. I live in a small town of about 5,000. My job and our goals have been impacted greatly. Demand on diesel fuel is lower than I remember, which is a big part of my gig.

Even though I live in GOP Indiana, I've noticed a divide in the citizens of my town. I would say maybe 75% of people in our town are GOP. But we've never had this disruption or divide like we do now. I hate to see it. I see it in families too. I also see a large increase in drug trafficking arrests. It saddens me. Recently, I lost one nephew to a meth overdose. It shocked me. I didn't even know he was doing anything. Our whole family was shocked. 

What are you doing to make things better around you? What are you doing to make things better for others? Just throw it out there.
