Are We Better Off Than We Were A Year Ago?

During the Oct. 28, 1980, presidential debate, Ronald Reagan closed by asking Americans if they were better off than they were four years earlier when Jimmy Carter was elected. If we asked that question today and changed the time element to a year, it would be obvious: Yes, we are better off.
A little more than a year ago, Joe Biden suspended his reelection campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be his successor in the race against Donald Trump. Not that Harris would have been an improvement over Biden, but at least the country was rid of an addled career bumbler whose policies were a dead weight on the country.
Please consider the peaks we have reached in August 2025:
The border. Biden wanted to change America by waving in unvetted and unassimilable migrants. Trump shut off the pipeline before the U.S. fell in the way Great Britain and other European countries have.
Energy. The Biden plan was to choke energy production. Trump has unleashed it. This has been made plain by the price of gasoline, which is more affordable than it was a year ago – $3.19 a gallon for regular in August 2025 compared to $3.35 in August 2024.
