CNN never talked about affordability during the inflationary Biden years.
Well Iâm sure re elected the party that caused massive inflation and opened the borders to illegals will help with affordability
Surely he didn't because it was a key reason he got elected. And the Somalicorruptocrach just illustrates how tax payer dollars being used to raise costs for Americans as well as keep their taxes high. And Bessent has been quite public about Trump efforts to improve affordability.
So my choice is CNN making shit up again for $1 Trillion.
“Though the president called affordability a âhoaxâ last week”
Correct.
Biden gave us 40 year high inflation rates.
Trump has sent gas prices crashing down in next to no time.
This “affordability” crap is merely the latest hoax from the Democrats getting pushed by fake news media.
You can’t beat Trump with that nonsense.
OK, but “doing something” requires ending the filibuster.
Fake news made up crap again.
“Though the president called affordability a âhoaxâ last week”
If the above is true it is unfortunate that Trump dismissed real concerns about affordability by voters.
Unfortunately, “Doing Something” is what got us to this deplorable situation.
In a great many situations, doing nothing is the preferable option by governments.
Article is correct. GOP are experts at sitting on their asses when they win. Democrats play to win. GOP plays to attend cocktail parties and internal bitching. We have all seen it before.
Healthcare, Insurance and College is all unaffordable because liberals broke them with their commie policies.
Want to make them all affordable again, try the free market.
Let’s make something more affordable.

This is a made-in-the media topic.
All the while Biden’s borrowing was pushing up inflation, all the way to 9%, the media never had an “affordability crisis”.
The federal debt is ~$400,000/American citizen full-time worker.
What do you think is âaffordableâ when it comes to a house, Mr. & Mrs. Young?
$300,000, tops!
The $300,000 isn’t enough to secure Mr. & Mrs. Young’s $800,000 share of the federal debt.
You might say there’s stock market value to secure the federal debt. That would need to be about $500,000 for Mr. & Mrs. Young and their kiddies. That’s $500,000 after state and federal corporate tax is paid. Yup, $500,000 profit, after tax, just from one American citizen family.
What about the migrants? They can bolt.
Are Ellen and her ‘wife’ back in Montecito? Rachel Reeves made the English air chillier.
Share of total health spending, by percentile, 2021
Top 1% of people with the highest health spending 24%
Top 5% 51%
Top 10% 67%
Bottom 50% 3%
âpeople with health spending in the top 1% had average spending of $166,980 per yearâ
[Thatâs not going to be covered by $6,000 put into an HSA for 2026.]
I find taxes from all the levels of government to be unaffordable.
The expiration of these subsidies are going to skyrocket the premium prices for paying enrollees. Not sure how Trump intends to deal with this
Why does the GOP never point out that most Democrat Congress people voted to end Obama Care Covid subsidies in January 2026?
The GOP is so weak, so inept.
Trump has always said pulling down energy prices would be a large component of producing affordability. The last month, at least around here, is the first time the downward move in gasoline price has been significant and sustained, we’re out of the $3s. Bill Clinton lived in fear of a few pennies rise in gas price. These stories about affordability are the crescendoing of the media noise to take the place of Epstein-Epstein-Epstein stories that fizzled. If Trump is right, usually is, lower transportation costs will make a lot of things more affordable; the RNC mid term convention will be in place with the messaging.
