Another data set.
Gas and some food, primarily beef, are expensive, but the core inflation rate is falling. That bespeaks a simple economic fact. The total cost of things that have increased is lower than the total cost of things that have decreased.
Every Democrat running in Iowa has campaigned almost exclusively on the "affordability" crises. Iowa has the third lowest cost of living among all states. No Democrat state is in the bottom half. Thirteen of the fifteen most expensive states are run by Democrats. The cost of living is so high that people and businesses are fleeing the Blue states. Someone emigrates from California every 2.5 minutes.
Let's take a look at what Democrats do to inflation.
The graph doesn't show how badly the Democrats treat growth. Clinton inherited a rapidly growing economy and left a shrinking economy. Obama inherited a shrinking economy and eight years later, left a shrinking economy. Biden inherited a rapidly growing economy and left a shrinking economy. The Owl gives Bill Clinton credit for at least attempting to create a growing economy. Obama and Biden, or Obama's third term, intentionally pursued low growth economies.
Where do you want to be a year from now? Democrats never decrease the cost of anything.
