Breaking things is always easier than fixing them, and whoever was running the Biden Administration broke things. A lot of things. As bad or worse than Obama, who, if you recall, insisted his laggard low-T economy was the new normal.
Donald Trump blew that lie up in less than two years.
This time around, Bidneflation and a host of other effects on a patient as complex as the US Economy were in a tough spot. The healing won’t happen overnight. The Dems have jumped on that with narratives about affordability. And while Trump and Republicans managed to pull the rug out from under them over health care, what about everything else?
Coffee, for example, has skyrocketed in price, but eggs are down. Gasoline and heating fuels are seeing improvement. Trump applied pressure to big pharma and created Trump Rx, guaranteeing no radical lib will pay for discounted drugs, but a lot of others will be able to do that, and the list of products grows weekly.
Inflation is low and steady.
Trump has also done something no Democrat would ever do. Bring manufacturing and foreign investment to our shores. Lots of it. Trillions worth, which means all those folks losing their jobs to AI have a chance to find work and maybe learn a skill in the real world.
Learn to code has its place, but it is shrinking thanks to AI and the tech giants, who still tend to favor the lefties who suggested it when the Biden Admin ended projects that cost hundreds of thousands of jobs, and no one blinked.
Thanksgiving
Per the title, the most famous American holiday meal has, according to Wells Fargo’s annual Thanksgiving Food Report, dropped 2-3% in price for 2025.
The big bird has dropped an estimated 3.7% since last season.
National name-brand frozen vegetables are down a whopping 15%
Private brand dinner rolls saw the biggest savings this year with a 22% price decrease.
“The next group of savings comes from stuffing for the turkey, prepared gravy mix, and fresh cranberries. All of these key sides dropped between 3 and 4 % from last year.1 Like frozen vegetables, they are being pressured by more supply and private label price competition. The sweetest savings are seen with national brand pumpkin pies, down 3%.1 To save on these items, shoppers should select private label for stuffing, dinner rolls and gravy mix, but when it comes to fresh cranberries and pumpkin pie, consumers can head straight to the national brands.”
Potatoes are down 1.5% from 2024.
Beverages and dairy are up slightly, and whipped cream and salad mixes are also up slightly, but overall, you can give thanks for a slightly less expensive Thanksgiving meal if you shop for that. And going generic will likely boost savings.
The two key takeaways are this. Whatever his faults, Trump will keep working to stabilize the economy and improve the lives of everyday Americans. He wants you to be able to afford a more comfortable life and to have opportunities on our shores.
Democrats don’t, won’t, or can’t. They think socialsim will work for someone other than the political class: a fact, Mr. Mamdani said out loud when he proudly announced that, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.”
You should be asking your elected Democrat representatives, no matter how large or how small, what they think that means. What it means to them. What it means to an avowed Marxist like Mamdani or to a Democrat socialist like themselves.
I can tell you this. It will lead to an abrading of rights, loss of privacy, rampant scarcity, increased thuggery, crime, misery, and …lots of unaffordability.
