Biden brags about the numbers, but high inflation especially hurts Black and Hispanic Americans
The Hill ^ | 01/18/2023 | ALFREDO ORTIZ

The Bureau of Labor Statistics last week confirmed what everyday Americans who shopped over the holiday season already know: Historic inflation continues unabated, eroding Americans’ real wages and living standards. Overall inflation over the past 12 months — the calendar year of 2022 — increased by 6.5 percent, far exceeding average wage growth, and core inflation actually rose last month. Services prices grew at their fastest rate in 40 years.

Yet you wouldn’t know it from President Biden’s celebratory remarks following the release of these numbers. Biden took credit for the slight moderation in topline inflation that remains more than three times the Federal Reserve’s target rate, claiming it’s “clearer than ever” that his policies are working. He also bragged about the low unemployment rate, ignoring how labor force participation remains significantly depressed compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Consider that in 2019, real median income rose by 7.9 percent for Black households, 7.1 percent for Hispanics, 10.6 percent for Asian Americans, and 5.7 percent for whites.

We can't have precious minorities become self sufficient, If they aren't dependent on the government for their daily bread, why would they continue to support the Demonrat party? We had no choice but to destroy everything to get rid of the evil Orange Man and regain the necessary control over their lives so they depend on us forever...

Guessing older retired fixed income white folks need not apply? I know, I know. Should have planned better.

In the pedojoe bidet economy $12 a dozen eggs will soon be the norm, if you can find them at all.

Hence when you tell the next lefttard to go suck an egg, they may not be able to afford it.

Biden stands up and lies and the media offers no rebuttal and too often defends his lies.

Who could possibly believe that he's "reduced the deficit $1 Trillion"???

There was a radio news brief yesterday touting how fantastic it was that credit card spending has greatly increased in December.

The brief failed to connect increased credit card spending to increased inflation for groceries and home needs.

This is simply not true. If any shade of citizen can get on government subsidies that equals 80k annually. Why would inflation bother anyone whose most critical needs such as healthcare and housing are free to them.
It isn’t skin color we are fighting… it’s entitlement.
If it were true, they would vote differently. Also factoring in trumps mail in ballot scheme.. maybe they really are voting differently.
They were right about the militarization of police departments. J6 is evidence of that.

EGG prices is the ONLY thing we cannot blame Biden for.

Avian Flu caused over 58 million birds in USA to be destroyed.

It is a VERY CONTAGEOUS disease. Takes awhile for new chicks to get to egg laying status,

MANY persons have calculated that LBJ’s War On Poverty-—WELFARE-— has run up costs in excess of $27 Trillion over 60 +++ years.

Debt is $31+++ TRILLION.

HOW MUCH OF THE DEBT PROBLEM IS WELFARE???

Please allow me to submit this for your consideration my friend. It raises my eyebrows about the official narrative concerning the Egg shortage. Would they? I think so... :)

All of it!

Incentivizing people not to work creates debt.

It hurts us all, and they are driving it higher and higher with reckless spending.
