Thank you for your service.  Now, didn't say it was easy, I said it's your only choice. Anyone's only choices to improve their lives are to improve their skills and demanding more compensation for the skills they have.

As for your parents struggling, hopefully they own their home or homes.  Most likely they collect Social Security and Medicare, and most likely they are taking outuch more than they put in.  I don't know which past president promised any of you a life of ease but don't blame Biden for what reality did.

You say don't blame Biden, but when COVID was ravaging the world, you turn on the TV and all you saw was "It's Trump's fault." Hell, it cost him the election. And you know if inflation happened on Trump's watch, the media would be having an orgasm blaming him. But since it happened on Biden's watch, it's not his fault? 

For the record, there's a lot of blame to go around, but Biden's not off the hook, either, and when something bad happens on your watch, you take the blame. Just like when something good happens, you get the praise. Where I do blame Biden is he turned a blind eye to it when it first soared, and his infrastructure deal and spending didn't help matters any. So yeah, while the last 4 presidents had their part in it, Biden's included in the problem, and since he's the leader right now, he gets the blame, just like Trump would if he were President.
