Subject: Re: The Affordability Tour Kicks Off
So the “affordability tour” is off to a disastrous start.

Couple things: I am remembering the shambling “tours” of the last time he was in office. “Infrastructure week” was a running joke, it happened so many times without ever happening at all. I have been impressed at how effective the administration has been this go round on any variety of things (none to my liking, of course), but I think this “affordability tour” will be the first that goes up in flames, and publicly so.

And that’s because it’s the first measurable yardstick that people can actually see and compare, as opposed to “woke in schools” or “immigrants in your backyard” or whatever the other cause-du-jour has been to this point. People shop. They go to the grocery store every week and they know that prices haven’t gone down; indeed they know they’re going up.

All the “Democratic hoax” or “Joe Biden’s fault” rhetoric in the world isn’t going to play. This isn’t a “feelings” issue, this is cold hard cash, and it’s verifiable. (And just wait if ACA premiums balloon, while that won’t affect *everyone* as grocery prices do, it’s millions upon millions.)

So yeah, this is where Donnie’s lies are exposed for all to see, and all the blubbering and mouth-foaming in the world isn’t going to change that. ‘Bout time.
