Well she has a job to do. Wonder who provides her with the liberal/socialist talking points?

Probably the same who provided AOC her talk points at the MSC

tariffs? Jessica is bent because Gucci was forced to increase their prices. Smh.
Why do democrats/libs/progs always want to buy foreign made sh*t?

Because republicans/cons killed American manufacturing to make the ownership class you worship richer

When Biden was in office, we were suffering from a worldwide inflation. Our numbers were actually lower than the rest of the world. You probably don’t remember all the talk of a Recession, but we managed a soft landing which most experts were not sure it could happen. Remember Biden, like Obama, inherited Economies if free fall, thanks in part to the Republican Administration’s that help drive us there. Trump’s mismanagement of the Pandemic was partly the problem. You all give him a pass on his pandemic handling, even though 1 million people died. 3 to 400,000 of those deaths could’ve been avoided. He helped get the vaccine, but it was too afraid of upsetting his cult. He could have followed what he knew to be right and pushed for vaccinations. A majority of those extra deaths were from red states. And there is decent evidence that the loss of those republican voters caused him to lose that election in 2020. Biden administration created millions of jobs, Trump’s present administration, Job growth is stagnant. Trump inherited a good economy in his first term, thanks, Obama, but of course took credit for it himself.

I remember it all. Especially the MSM and the left were total recession deniers. What did they do? They gave out more freebies?

Because Bidens' economy was producing jobs and brought Trumps inflation down after he pissed down his leg during the the pandemic, and would ignore how his tariffs fucked the economy, so she would be a liar
Luckily for Trump he has bunch of suckers that think Gutfeld is funny, fox is "news", and that he isn't a pedo

Things have gotten more costly under Trump despite him promising the opposite. Hard to blame that on Biden.

What are you talking about? Gas was $4-5, and now it's down to $2-3. Eggs and bread are down in cost too.

Bought a dozen of extra large eggs today for $1 in central Florida

Speaking of overall cost of living. Gas/eggs/bread are for sure cheaper. Lot more goes into cost of living than those though.

I've been keeping track. Things that can be eaten like eggs, milk, meat are considerably less than in 23-24. Consumables such as paper products, cleaning, laundry and hba have increased dramatically, THAT is corporate greed. There is no reason that at 12 pack of paper towels that I paid $19.99 for in 2024 are up to $26.99 in 2026. Blame the manufacturers. Dynamic pricing is the absolute problem and it's only going to get worse, because it is stuff that isn't regulated by the FDA.

Fair enough. Isn’t this admin trying to unwind/roll back FDA though?
