Yes, household debt is rising and will continue to rise. Americans have the capacity to hold more debt. I get Americans aren’t in perfect shape but we are by far still the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry pile.
Elections are getting tighter and tighter, no doubt about that and a spoiler works both ways. Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona could decide the election by 20,000 votes combined.
Possible.With everything Biden has going against him I don't think it will be that close.Black turnout in Philly and Pittsburgh has decided PA since 2008. High Black turnout in Detroit is a must .Biden has another major problem in MI with The Muslim don't vote for Biden effort over Palestine.That could be a problem in many states as it seems they are coordinating it well as nationwide effort.
Bidenomics for the win! Biden’s economy keeps messing up Trump’s message https://www.politico.com/news/2024/...-the-economy-as-it-steadily-improves-00139447
Based upon your own words concerning Muslim voters in Michigan...you stated "a major problem in MI with the Muslim don't vote for Biden. You went on to say it seems they are coordinating it well as a nationwide effort. You should then be closely watching the DNC primaries in the states with the largest population of Muslims...right ??? Further, do you know what percentage of the Muslim population in Michigan do not support Biden ??? Dearborn has the largest population of Arab Americans in Michigan. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/31/arab-muslim-voters-work-to-defeat-biden/ Regardless, I find that an interesting statement by you considering I own a home (inherited my parent's home) in the North Suburbs of Illinois...most of the Muslims I've met were not Arabs. They were Asians. More specifically, they are South Asians and they seemed disinterested in what is occurring in the Middle East. Therefore, I'm now curious to see how Muslims will vote in the below listed largest Muslim populations of the United States of America considering a large number of them are not Arabs. According to a 2017 study done by the Institute for Social Policy, "American Muslims are the only faith community surveyed with no majority race, with 26 percent white, 18 percent Asian, 18 percent Arab, 9 percent black, 7 percent mixed race, and 5 percent Hispanic". 1. Illinois Percentage of Muslim Population: 3.7% Total Muslim Population: 473,792 Illinois has the highest percentage of Muslim population in the United States. Chicago is the hub of diverse cultures where a significant concentration of Muslims can be found. There are more than 50 mosques within the greater Chicago area. Among the most prominent ones are Darul Islam Mosque in Bloomingdale and the Muslim Community Center (MCC) in Chicago. The community comprises people belonging to different cultures and ethnicities whose roots can be traced to South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East... 2. New York Percentage of Muslim Population: 3.6% Total Muslim Population: 724,475 New York has the largest total Muslim population in the United States. It is a cosmopolitan state with a diverse population. There are large Muslim communities in cities such as New York City and Buffalo. A lot of Muslims came to New York in the 1980s and 1990s as refugees or recipients of Green cards. Many of these Muslims belong to the Middle East, South Asia, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The state has several mosques and community centers for Muslims, such as the Islamic Cultural Center of New York (ICCNY) and Masjid Malcolm Shabazz. In fact, Greater New York City has the highest number of mosques in the country... 3. New Jersey Percentage of Muslim Population: 3.5% Total Muslim Population: 321,652 New Jersey is home to a large number of Muslim immigrants. The diverse Muslim community of New Jersey includes Asian, Arab, and African Americans. After the establishment of the first mosque in New Jersey in the early 20th century, many more have been founded around the state. Prominent mosques and centers include the Islamic Society of Central Jersey (ISCJ), the Islamic Organization of North America (IONA), and Masjid Al-Noor of Paterson... 4. Maryland Percentage of Muslim Population: 3.1% Total Muslim Population: 188,914 The Muslim population in Maryland experienced rapid growth in the latter half of the 20th century due to immigration from various countries, especially Pakistan and Bangladesh. Today, this community represents a mix of different races, ethnicities, and sects. Moreover, the state is dotted with mosques and Islamic centers, which serve as places of worship, education, and community activities. Some of these are the Islamic Society of Baltimore (ISB), the Muslim Community Center (MCC), and the Islamic Center of Maryland (ICOM)... 5. Michigan Percentage of Muslim Population: 2.4% Total Muslim Population: 241,828 Michigan attracted many Muslim immigrants towards the end of the 20th century. The largest ethnic group among Muslims in Michigan is Arabs. The first mosque in Michigan was established in Detroit. Currently, there are many mosques within the state, including the Islamic Center of America (ICA) in Dearborn, the Yemeni American Community Center (YACC) in Dearborn, and the Islamic House of Wisdom (IHW) in Ann Arbor... Within the Muslim population of the United States - In the most recent years...among U.S. Muslim adults who were born abroad, more come from South Asia (35%) than any other region. An additional 23% were born in other parts of the Asia-Pacific region (such as Iran, Indonesia, etc.); 25% come from the Middle East-North Africa region, 9% come from sub-Saharan Africa, 4% were born in Europe and 4% come from elsewhere in the Americas. In contrast, the largest Arab American communities in the United States: You did say that they are coordinating it well as a nationwide effort. The below list of Arab American communities will be watched closely by you. Therefore, I'm curious too considering most of the Muslims I know today (didn't know for a long time that they were Muslim) are not Arab Americans. ------- With that said, one of the first lessons given to me in the military when I was stationed in Kentucky @ Fort Campbell...the politics one one ethnic group within the Muslim population was much different than another ethnic group within the Muslim population. It was something I had forgotten while growing up for awhile in the state of Illinois and reminded often whenever I visit the states, especially in Illinois where my neighbor on the right is Muslim (South Korean...a friend from South Korea...former South Korean military officer) and my neighbor directly across the street is Muslim (Pakistan...owns a home in Israel)... Both are heavily involved in U.S. politics while the three of us also live abroad. Both are voting for Biden whereas I'm voting to get rid of Trump (Independent or Biden). I'll be in South Korea for about 2 weeks this summer with my family in an area known for expats of the United States because South Korea is a popular destination for expats....absentee voters from the 2020 elections. They tend to ignore what's occurring in the Middle East but I will be asking them about their opinion of Israel / Gaza / United States. American expats living abroad like my neighbors and myself...it's a population of 8 million voters although most of us live abroad because of family. In addition, it's estimated that the number of American expats doubled under the Trump presidency. In contrast, it has slowed under the Biden presidency. wrbtrader
