Biden’s Disconnect on the Economy: Gaslighting at Thanksgiving

The President Biden’s campaign released a guide for “responding to crazy MAGA nonsense” for the holidays, which served up a hot platter of its own nonsense.

According to Team Biden, “The economy was better during Trump!” is “wrong,” as they protest: “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.”

Democrats should not be reminding anyone about food and gas prices.

The trick here: Comparing prices to last year and inflation to two years ago — that is, on Biden’s watch.

A gallon of gas was $2.19 in 2020 and it’s $3.27 in 2023.

Assembling your Thanksgiving feast was 30% more expensive this week than in 2020, per the American Farm Bureau Federation.

The Biden administration’s attempt to gaslight the public is beyond pathetic.

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.

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?
