This is going to be unpopular with many (the truth often is), but what President Trump has said is true. There is no affordability crisis. I could blather on about statistics and examples, but I don't think I could say it any better than the big man himself:
*“We have a great economy and the prices are coming down,” Trump told reporters Sunday night before boarding Air Force One on his way back to the White House from his Florida resort.
He blamed Democrats for an economy he described as having “the highest inflation in the history of our country. I have it down now to a normal level and it’s going down further.”
In a social media post Friday, Trump said of the GOP: “We are the Party of Affordability!”*
I don't think it gets any clearer than that. Gas is cheaper, eggs are cheaper, housing is cheaper, wages are up, inflation is down, there are lots of jobs out there (if you're willing to work), and the stock market is setting new records every week. If you're still struggling, then maybe you need some self-evaluation. I saw people on this forum complaining about food stamps being shutdown. I think they might be deep state plants sent to try and stir up dissention, and we shouldn't tolerate any of that. This is about Making America Great Again through the Great Awakening. We need to stop the complaining, and get in line. As the sidebar says, we are soldiers on the digital battlefield, not some just some pansy fair weather supporters who run at the first sign of hardship. It is not our job to question President Trump. If he says it, I believe him, which is at least the bare minimum. I mean, after all we have seen, after the violence, the accusations, attempts at assassination, wardrobe malfunctions, and misleading headlines, they still can't stop him. This is the revolution. There are now millions of us. We should no longer tolerate those who pretend to be supporters, but constantly doubt and sow desention. Heck, if charging a small fee for being able to log in and use this site is what it takes, I would be all for that (as long as the money from that went to support President Trump). I think that would clear out the doubters really quick, and then we can get on to figuring out the best ways to support our commander in chief. Whose with me?!?
P.S. Mods, can we sticky this post?
I would not call it a crisis, but c'mon now. I am not buying anything I don't need, nor am I hiring anyone for home projects, the labor and materials are more expensive, and gas is still over 3 bucks a gallon, around 3.50. Appliances are way more expensive than 2 years ago, if I need a replacement I plan to buy used or rebuilt. I already pay a ton for coffee because its organic and washed free of molds and histamines. My supplements are about the same, I buy through Life Extension and they have good quality supplements and if you are a regular customer, the subscribe and save is much less expensive. I also get a lot of my groceries through a place called Misfits Market. They buy out the surplus of things like organic olive oil, slightly blemished produce here and there, all organic, staples like flour and cheese and yogurts, sugar, snacks, etc are much cheaper than my local food co op. I can honestly say I am saving over 200 dollars a month, they source from places that have surplus produce that will not sell in time, fresh produce, so I get blueberries, kale, cabbage, carrots broccioli apples, pumpkins and squash, all organic foods, for much less. I am happy with the program, I know we are supposed to shop local, but with things delivered I save on gas, being rural and all. I have not been in a "normal" supermarket for years. I have chickens, but its winter, their pastured organic eggs are around 5 bucks a dozen, at the co op the local eggs that are pastuered and organic are 7 bucks. I spend that much on protein because my schtick is humane farming practices, I am willing to pay more to farmers that take that seriously. I do eat animals, but they don't have to suffer in a factory farm before they are killed for my nutrition.
