As Americans continue to struggle just to make ends meet, President Joe Biden is celebrating, claiming that his disastrous economic policy is “showing results.”
Consumer prices continued to rise – as they have for much of Biden’s presidency – but the president seemed to think that was something worth rejoicing over.
The Labor Department’s consumer price index rose by 0.4 percent from September. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is up 7.7 percent year-over-year.
Included in that number is food prices, which rose 0.4 percent in October, which is less than the 0.7 percent increase in August and September, but still an increase, nevertheless.
As the Democrats usually do, Biden took this news and attempted to convince the public that it was actually a GOOD thing that they were paying more for food.
“Today’s report shows that we are making progress on bringing inflation down, without giving up all of the progress we have made on economic growth and job creation,” Biden said in a statement from the White House. “My economic plan is showing results, and the American people can see that we are facing global economic challenges from a position of strength.”
Biden claimed that because this inflation number wasn’t as large as previous months, it somehow provided “a much-needed break in inflation at the grocery store as we head into the holidays.”
It’s unclear what “break” Biden is referring to, however, as Turkey prices are expected to surge ahead of Thanksgiving and many families are being forced to consider skipping the celebration all together – citing prices that are just too high.
The issue spans far beyond just food prices. Consumers have been hit hard by elevated fuel prices which are currently roughly 60% higher than they were when the president took office in January of 2021.
Biden’s ‘solution’ for that has been draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to historically low levels, and many anticipate that when that release ends, fuel prices in America will soar out of control.
It’s worth noting that Biden’s messaging on the issue of inflation has changed drastically in the past year alone, marking a shift from the Democrat’s insistence that rampant inflation was “temporary” and nothing to worry about.
Biden has also recently admitted that he “can’t guarantee that we’re going to be able to get rid of inflation.”
“We’re driving down all of those costs,” he said, though the very inflation numbers he bragged about would beg to differ, indicating prices continue to rise.
Biden has proposed more government spending as a solution to the inflation that was caused by his massive Inflation Reduction Act. If his plan is to make life more difficult on Americans, then absolutely, his plan is working.
Look me in the eye and tell me you’re better off now than you were with President Trump and I will know you are a special kind of STUPID and should not be allowed out of the house without supervision.
I AGREE WITH THAT 100%

I am truly sorry for your situation. This should not be true in a wonderful country like America. I hope you will be able to get some help soon.
And yet dems voted in a moron, a guy who can’t speak a sentence and a dead guy! Come on we need to get our message out way better!
TRUE! Biden is truly an idiot. How he ever got elected is beyond me. Remember how well we were doing when Trump was president?
People are living “the message” everyday…75% of the population believe the country is going in the wrong direction…but yet many vote the problem back in..I’m totally baffled…I have turned it over in my head a thousand times trying to figure it out..but I got nothing…other than there must be alot of stupid people out there…..
Neither am I LaJo; everyone is paying more at the gas pump (and in the electricity bill, the grocery bill, etc …because of gas, diesel, propane, etc, bill) and everyone KNOWS it is the president fault and they say so in recent polls, but they will still vote democrat because not doing that. they will have to vote Republican and that NEVER!!! so, they prefer higher prices in every thing (gas, heating oil, diesel fuel, groceries, rent, inflation, etc, etc) and more corruption, etc than to vote Republican.
I vote what is better for my country, for me, my wallet, my family, and that definitely is not democrat; I can see what is waiting for us the next two years at least and is scary and I will NOT vote for our demise like so many persons are doing just because they are (and vote) democrat.
And yes, Jim P, I am a recently retired heavy equipment mechanic that was able to maintain my family for 48 years and now I am afraid of our future’ YES Mr Jim P, I WAS BETTER before mr biden decided to destroyed my dream and my (and the whole United States’s) economy.
What this terribly uninformed marionette “thinks” or “does” affects neither execution nor outcome. His handlers are responsible for everything emanating from the Executive Branch.
Only the CIC (Coprolite in Chief) believes anyone else sees his actions as he does. His boss oligarchs are responsible for failures or successes. Any credit the CIC believes he earned is mere wishful thinking.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL RUN IN 2024 AND HE WILL WIN AND STRAIGHTEN THIS COUNTRY BACK UP AGAIN. MAGA
