‘Joy’ and ‘Hope’ in Kamala Harris’s America: Car Insurance Prices up 54%

Americans are having a hard time finding the “joy” and “hope” that Democrat elites touted during their August convention, as they struggle to pay their bills while the cost of goods skyrockets. This includes car insurance prices, which, under Vice President Kamala Harris’s watch, rose 54 percent.

Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show a dramatic rise in car insurance since President Joe Biden and Harris, the latter of whom Democrats have coronated to face off against former President Donald Trump, took office. From January 2021 to July 2024, car insurance rose a tremendous 54 percent.

This is just one facet of the inflationary nightmare that the policies of the Biden-Harris administration have sparked. New car prices, for example, have jumped 19 percent since Biden and Harris took office, according to Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, not seasonally adjusted.

I was with Farmers insurance for a long time. Went up to almost 500 dollars. I went with progressive $111.00.

Our auto and home insurance is getting cancelled in a couple of months.

Got the letters in the mail.

[ChicagoConservative27]

Why?

[NorthMountain]

Obama offered “hope and change”.

Harris offers “joy and hope”.

HOPE IS NOT A PLAN.

They blabber about “hope” ... their plan is to impoverish and enslave us.

They don’t give any detail. Obviously it’s not up 54% across the board because I just renewed my policy in July and it didn’t go up one cent for my three year old car.

"Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
the band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
and somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
but there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Kamala has struck out."

Too bad you have to find a new agent

My commercial truck insurance premium went up by 1600.00 this year and did the same last year. And the year before.

[central_va]

They are raising rates to cover “uninsured” drivers out there. Ain't illegal immigration fun!!!

We just switched to Progressive also. I must say, their website works and is very functional and fast, as soon as I paid, I got emails with the necessary documents and information as well as an insurance card to save to my phone designed to fit the phone screen in a highly readable format with all pertinent information. That was nice.

[Valpal1]

I just appealed the cancellation of our commercial building and business insurance based on their “virtual inspection” of the property.

Got an email today announcing that they had reinstated the insurance.

It was obvious to me from their stated reasons that someone wrote their inspection report from old google maps and satellite pics and not from a drone flyby.

[Valpal1]

That and the huge increase in car theft that is being ignored by the authorities.

[Kathy in OC]

Why?

[Baladas]

ignore the idiot troll:

California drivers will suffer the third-largest jump in policy prices among the states. Nationally, premiums will soar by 22% when comparing the two years ended 2023 with the same period ending in 2024.

Only drivers in Minnesota (up 61%) and Missouri (up 55%) will be harder hit than Californians.

Well those electric cars are expensive so we’ll just tack in on to ICE vehicles since we want to eliminate them anyways.

I have had insurance since 1965 with a brand new car in Calif.

IT used to cost me $1 EXTRA a month to have UNINSURED DRIVER’S INSURANCE. $12 a year.

Had that car for 30+ years-—but over 444,000 miles on it.

Moved to N Calif in 1993.

Pretty much the same deal.

MOVED to Nevada 19 years ago.

UNINSURED MOTORIST Coverage was about 15% of my premium...agent said: 24 hour state/ illegals everywhere.
OK-—But I couldn’t ever think of not having such coverage.

NOW the premium for UNINSURED DRIVER IS over 39% of my premiums...INVADERS UNDER BIDEN ARE THE CAUSE.

I have never had an accident

Last ticket I had was in about 1997 for NO Seat Belt

Have over 348,000 miles on my 1976 1 ton dually 4 speed Chevy truck.

Have over 223,000 miles on my 1979 Buick wagon.

Have driven OVER 1 MILLION MILES.

1,000,000 MILES.

BIDENOMICS SUCKS

[ridesthemiles]

EXACTLY

[ridesthemiles]

PRIOR to all of the above-—I had insurance for vehicles in Wisconsin.

1957 Pontiac to 1933 Chevy pickup truck.

[Old Yeller]

Because we’re all paying for the illegals driving/crashing/killing.
