thanks for that analysis

well, if Trump talks about the border being wide open, FINE
but
if Trump explains that the lack of a border is a root cause of our Standard of Living going DOWN DOWN DOWN under the D regime,
all the better

people FEEL the inflation when they have to return overpriced groceries to the shelf and when they can’t afford to go to a diner or a show anymore, or when they can’t afford to heat their homes, or put gas in their cars

votes truly go by “are you better off than you were 4 years ago???” Ronald Reagan

it has to be brought right straight home to the voter, not just spoken of secondarily in the context of the border problem

my thought anyway
best,
fhc

Quite correct.

One thing about food that it seems many people are missing is how much "poor people" food has gone up.

You used to be able to shop store brands and basic food stuffs and be ok. It was not an exciting menu but it was a balance diet.

Eggs, bread, milk, potatoes, carrots, onions and a bit of stew meat used to be what you saw in the carts of people who were on a budget. Oatmeal used to be a buck fifty a box. It is now over five dollars. Soup that was 50 cents a can is now a dollar twenty-five. The cheapest Ramen was ten cents a pack, it is now thirty cents a pack. Box mac and cheese has gone from 50 cents to a dollar.

We grow a lot of our food so until I started taking a neighbor of ours to the store I did not see what was going on as strongly.
