I'm part Jewish - and attribute my prudent spending habits to that (besides personal experience, naturally).

Would that more of us were thrifty, you know?

I know people (none of them Jewish) who splurge on video games, excess furniture, stupid improvements on their house - or worse, pilfer their money because they woke up one day and thought they could be the next day-trading sensation.

And some then turn around, and blame Biden for their money troubles.

Oy.
