Dems’ Economic Turkey Talk

-

The biggest turkey this Thanksgivi­ng was in the White House: President Biden’s campaign released a guide for “responding to crazy MAGA nonsense” for the holidays — a hot platter of its own nonsense.

First on the list was: “The economy was better during Trump!” — which Team Biden claims is “wrong,” protesting: “Inflation is the lowest it’s been in two years, the economy is growing, and unemployme­nt has been under 4% for the longest stretch on record. Just look at your Thanksgivi­ng costs compared to last year — gas prices: cheaper. Turkey: cheaper. Eggs: cheaper.”

The last thing Democrats should be reminding anyone about is food and gas prices, especially by Comparing prices to last year and inflation to two years ago — on Biden’s watch.

As a refresher: The average cost for a gallon of gas was $2.19 in 2020; now it’s $3.27. And assembling your Thanksgivi­ng feast was 30% more expensive this week than in 2020, per the American Farm Bureau Federation.

It’s beyond pathetic that the Bidenites imagine they can gaslight the public this way — and terribly telling: They’ve got no better ideas than to try deceiving the public (plus all the endless “ultra-MAGA” name-calling).

Americans see the truth every time they fill up their tanks or their fridges. A recent poll showed that 33% of respondent­s believed Biden’s policies “hurt the economy a lot,” and 82% said their biggest financial stress was price increases. Only 14% believed Biden had made them better off.

Because Biden has nothing to offer voters except a lower price on eggs than last year, when overall inflation is still well above the pre-Joe level and mortgage rates are out of sight. How about actually addressing the nation’s needs, Democrats, and leave the gaslightin­g to the stovetops this holiday season?
