The economy is “booming”!

But:

Wages are stagnant
Healthcare bankrupts people
Housing is unaffordable
Food is increasingly unaffordable.

This is not a good economy; it’s a good economy for the rich.

The facts say otherwise, Adolf.

EGGS: The average wholesale price of eggs recorded another huge drop today as the Trump Administration fulfills its plan for long-term affordability by reversing the previous administration’s flawed approach.

On January 21, 2025, the wholesale price for eggs was $6.55/dozen; today, it’s $3.45/dozen — a $3.10/dozen (–47.3%) decrease.
The average wholesale price for eggs has declined for three straight weeks.

GAS: The nationwide average for gas continues falling as the Trump Administration implements its American energy agenda.

The nationwide average for gas has declined for four straight weeks — down ten cents from one month ago and 42 cents from one year ago.
More than two-thirds of gas stations in the U.S. have gas at $2.99/gallon or less, according to GasBuddy.
Average gas prices are currently at their lowest level for March in four years. At this point in Biden’s presidency, gas prices had already gone up 49 cents.
Average prices are below $3/gallon in a majority of states.

Those are the facts. and

@Reason10 Everything that comes out of the White House these days is propaganda. Nothing more.

@SW-User Actually, that was true during the PRESIDENT AUTOPEN administration.

For the last three months, TRUTH has come, not just from the White House but also from the most reliable sources.

You don't like their conclusions because you are an uneducated spoiled BABY who has lost the argument.

I provided facts, and

@Reason10 Prove it. The White House is a propaganda machine. As is the heritage foundation and Fox. So. Find me actual facts.

@Reason10 Objective reporting says otherwise.

And that was six weeks ago. Things are immeasurably worse now. And it's all down to Trump.

@Reason10 Once again, you pivot to the fact that FOX has the highest rankings.

FOX is not a news channel. It's just 24-hr polemic. All that proves is America likes being lied to. Simple as that.

It's also clear that you are a misogynist.

@Reason10 I love how something like bird flu can be used to say that the economy is improving. By all means lets ignore the crops in the farmers fields they cant harvest. And if they could, they couldnt sell them. Lets ignore the extra $trillions added to the forerign debt that will never be paid back. (The interest alone now equale 18% of the GNP) and lets ignore the long term treasury bond rates rising. Meaning that interest bill is going to get way worse.
Even then. I notice you looking at the wholesale egg prices, to dodge the issue of retail price gouging.. Man does not live by eggs alone..😷
