‘I would say they’re too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we’re making progress,’ the Vice President told Fox News

JD Vance admits the prices of groceries and housing are “too expensive” but once again has laid blame at the feet of the "disastrous Biden economy,” despite the Trump administration having taken the reins more than eight months ago.

“Housing is too expensive, groceries are too expensive. Now, I would say they’re too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we’re making progress,” Vance said, speaking to Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle.

The vice president made the remarks Friday when discussing the struggling U.S. economy and its potential link to a surge in popularity for Democratic New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani.

    These assholes came in and fucked everything up and then have the fucking balls to blame Biden for their obvious failures.

    No way in fucking hell they’d be able to get away with this level of propaganda if it weren’t for the Republican Noise Machine, but a whole lot of dumbfucks believe that the economy under Biden was terrible and that Taco is working to fix it.

    Biden’s economy was described as the envy of the world, a Goldilocks economy, etc. And these chucklefucks will stand there with a shit-eating grin and use phrases like “we inherited a disastrous Biden economy”. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

      If you think the economy of 2021-2024 was ‘goldilocks’ I think you’re conflating massive AI investment with a “good economy”

      Unless your job was developing and implementing AI solutions, you were probably getting fucked. The majority of big companies implemented RTO for softlayoffs, and then warn notices were a record outside of the pandemic year for 2023 reaching nearly 350k roles.

      Signs right now point to AI literally holding the company up as greedy CEOs and Boards shoot for infinite money machines that will never materialize with current AI/ML techniques and methodologies. When that slumps the stupid valuation of companies like nvidia are going to bomb so hard the great depression of the 21st century will be underway.

        I don’t know why this post got down voted but Cory Doctorow agrees with you.

        Only upside is whenever this bubble pops it’s going to be on Trump’s watch. ( How confident is the maga regime in their ability to fix the next two elections…? )

        Maybe they are fine with a crash of the stock market and then the whole dollar-based economy because they are going all in on crypto.
