It is a way to take people’s wealth from them without having to openly raise taxes. Inflation is the most universal tax of all. – Thomas Sowell
Today, Americans are deciding their future, picking who will steer the country for the next four years. It’s not just about candidates. It’s about truth versus spin. And these days, with propaganda everywhere, it’s easy for lies to masquerade as facts.
- Harris’s tenure saw inflation jump from 1.4% to nearly 20%, with gas prices soaring 47%.
- Key policies like restricting oil production and the American Rescue Plan exacerbated economic challenges.
- Border security took a hit as the Biden-Harris administration reversed Trump’s measures, leading to an immigration surge.
The numbers don’t lie, though. When Biden and Harris took the reins in 2021, inflation sat at 1.4%. Then came the American Rescue Plan, and inflation shot up to 19.75%. That’s right—almost twenty percent. The Inflation Reduction Act, pushed through by Kamala’s tie-breaking vote, added $891 billion in new spending. The result? More inflation.
Gas prices—once $2.28 under Trump—climbed to $3.35, a 47% hike. The difference hits hard. Filling up a 20-gallon tank used to cost $45.60. Now, it’s $67. That’s $21.40 more per tank, straight out of your pocket. And it didn’t stop there. When truckers felt the squeeze, the price of groceries jumped by 20%, electricity surged 28%, and rent climbed 21%.
This is the reality. More Americans feel the strain on their wallets. Under Trump, consumer freedom was better.
Then there’s the border. Kamala axed Trump’s wall, scrapped the “remain in Mexico” policy, and called the wall “racist” and a waste. Meanwhile, crossings surged, and security dipped. It’s not just policy—it’s the American reality.
