For the Record on ‘Affordability’

The inflation/affordability issue shows the power of the fake news media.

Do we have amnesia about what the last four years were like? Here’s a brief reminder: 

  • Fifteen million people walked into our country, and we had virtually no idea who they were. In a matter of weeks, Donald Trump brought illegal border crossings down to virtually zero. 
  • The inflation rate during the Biden/Harris years hit 9%. Trump has it down to 3%, and wages are growing faster than that. Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act had nothing to do with reducing inflation. In fact, it made inflation worse! Americans lost $3,000 in wages under Biden. This year, under Donald Trump, American workers will see $1,000 in wage increases. 
  • Gas hit $5.00 a gallon under Biden. It’s roughly $3.00 now—down forty percent. 
  • Egg prices under Biden peaked at nearly $5.00 a dozen. Now, they’re down to roughly $2.00. 
  • The cost of a Thanksgiving dinner hit a record high under Biden at $64. This year, it’s down to $55. 
  • The 15 million people Biden let into the country weren’t all living in New York City hotels. Many were living in apartments, driving up rent prices. As they started earning some money, they bought starter houses, driving up housing prices and pricing young Americans out of the market. 
  • Higher interest rates, driven by Biden’s obscene spending, and higher housing prices, driven by Biden’s open borders, have resulted in native-born or naturalized U.S. citizens being unable to afford the American Dream. 
  • Our military was demoralized under Biden and couldn’t meet recruiting quotas. Under Donald Trump, so many young men and women rushed to enlist that the military met its yearly recruitment quotas in months. 
  • Under Biden, foreign countries were dumping their products into our country and keeping our goods out of theirs. Donald Trump stopped that. 

The inflation/affordability issue shows the power of the fake news media. When inflation exploded under Biden, he famously blamed Vladimir Putin. It worked. Polling found that the public blamed Putin more than they blamed Biden, at least initially. Eventually, Biden got the blame.
 
But if recent polls are accurate, in just nine months the public has gone from blaming Biden to blaming Trump for the “affordability crisis” Biden and Harris caused.
 
If that results in voters giving the House and Senate back to the Democrats a year from now, it will effectively end Trump’s presidency. We will deserve whatever happens to us. It will be like committing national suicide.
