US workers are finding it difficult to afford basic necessities as the president claims ‘the economy is roaring back’
The White House insists that the affordability problem Americans like Levie report doesn’t exist. At a rally in Kentucky earlier this week, Donald Trump told the crowd: “Inflation is plummeting, income is rising, the economy is roaring back!”
Though the positive sentiment will be a tough sell for voters in the upcoming midterm elections.
After helping Congress pass huge cuts to healthcare and food assistance programs, Trump is now pushing to remove minimum wage and overtime protections for some workers. And though seven out of 10 Americans said that tariffs have led to higher prices, Trump has only doubled down on more levies.
Far from feeling like the US is in a golden age, workers said rising inflation means their paychecks can’t keep up with prices.
Stock up on your stickers now!
Can’t wait for the extreme outage from the maga idiots who both put the Biden stickers on the pump, but are absolutely appalled at the trump stickers.
For the jackoffs that voted for PEDOnald, I’d love for them to explain why they expected otherwise. He is a Republican, after all. When has a Republican last been a responsible steward of the economy?
The guy couldn’t even do the most basic of shit when it came to a pandemic, FFS.
To be fair Biden didn’t do any good in the pandemic during his time overlapping it either.
I’m not even sure what that means.
That Biden had a terrible covid response that contributed to many unnecessary deaths too. What isn’t clear?
Gotta get that both sides in there.
Like deploying the military to launch an immediate Emergency Covid Vaccination Plan that hit its objectives in half the time, saving millions of lives?
Trump could have done that, but he was fully obsessed with planning his Insurrection, instead of getting the new vaccine out to the citizens.
Number of wars? Going up!
(Sorry – special operations – or whatever the latest buzzword is.)
Everything went up months ago. I guess the media is just now catching on?
I was told “affordability” was a made up phrase by democrats to hurt Trump. Are you saying it is a real issue? Am I suppose to believe my lying eyes or what Trump tells me is obviously true?
Guess this is just more propoganda
Random quote from someone in Williamsburg, VA. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a national news article quote someone from my town (well, technically, we just moved on town to the south) lol
