   You aren't Biden, so I have to prove nothing.   
      
   Farm failure: According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA),   
   the average farm debt-to-asset ratio is around 10-15%. However, farms with   
   high debt levels or those experiencing financial stress may have a higher risk   
   of failure. Studies suggest that:   
      
   20-30% of farms fail within the first 5 years of operation.   
      
   WHO was President 11 months to 5 years ago?   
      
   Biden.   
      
   50-60% of farms fail within 10 years.   
      
   WHO was President 11 months to 10 years ago?   
      
   Obama.   
      
   Foreclosure or mortgage default: The time it takes for a family to lose their   
   home due to mortgage default or foreclosure can range from 1-5 years,   
   depending on factors like loan terms, interest rates, and local market   
   conditions. Here's a rough breakdown:   
      
   Subprime lending: 1-3 years: Families with subprime mortgages or high-interest   
   loans may face foreclosure or default within a few years.   
      
   WHO was President a "few" years ago?   
      
   Typical mortgage: 2-3 years: For families with standard mortgages, it may take   
   longer, typically 2-4 years, to experience financial distress or foreclosure.   
      
   WHO was President 2-4 years ago?

   "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition   
      
   All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.   
      
   "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has   
   been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the   
   point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."   
      
   Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the   
   Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or   
   stages:   
      
   "In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The   
   president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were   
   all it took to change the world."   
      
   "The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's   
   vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of   
   hyperbole."   
      
   "As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from   
   reality."   
      
   The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk   
   opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump   
   announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would   
   suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.   
   There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be   
   received positively by TDSers.   
      
   The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early   
   2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-   
   night comics and nothing more.   
      
   Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first   
   coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.   
   The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in   
   otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -   
   the very existence of George W. Bush."
