Biden's inflation rate and approval rate are dangerously close to crossing over each other.
There's only one way out of this...
On Wednesday, the country
hit a sad milestone: Inflation under President Biden
hit 20 percent. The dollar’s value has plummeted under his watch. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also confirmed that the consumer price index is resurgent and growing faster than
average wages. Combined with
weak GDP growth, this data shows the U.S. economy is reentering stagflation.
Historic inflation is causing declining living standards and a cost-of-living crisis. Under Biden’s presidency, grocery prices have increased by
nearly one-third and gas has
risen by 50 percent. It feels like every daily convenience — from a turkey sandwich to some handyman help — has increased by 50 percent or more.
Yet Biden seems entirely out of touch with this reality. In a recent CNN interview, he responded to these inflation numbers by
claiming, “They have the money to spend.” In reality, it now costs the average American family
$12,000 more to maintain the same living standards as before
President Biden took office.
Biden also tried to deflect from this consumer pain by claiming he inherited high inflation. Fact-check: Inflation
was 1.4 percent when he took office.
