Despite what the White House and media (one in the same, really) keep telling us, the economy is not fine. Consumers know this because we pay for gas and groceries and utilities.
So it's not really a surprise that consumer confidence is at its worst in three years.

US consumer confidence plunged in September by the most in three years as Americans continue to grapple with high prices and a shaky labor market.
The Consumer Confidence Index plummeted 6.9 points in September to 98.7 – the steepest drop since August 2021, according to data released Tuesday. The data came in well below economists’ expectations, according to a Bloomberg survey.
Consumers most often mentioned high prices and inflation as factors influencing their view of the economy, The Conference Board said.
This is fine. Totally fine.
I was told this wasn’t a problem.

They can keep saying that. And it'll be a lie.
That's ok.

Kamala Harris was raised in a middle-class family. https://t.co/NnOGMksRjK
So she gets us.
Or something.
I can't find a dozen eggs under $6.

The shelves in most stores are barren from constant looting.
This economy is the worst I've ever seen.
If Kamala wins, I shudder in horror over how much worse it will be.
So much worse.
Tim Walz is right about one thing: we cannot afford four more years of this.

They said “we’re NOT going back to 3 years ago!” 🤪
If they win, you can kiss affordable food and gas bye-bye.
Bidenomics!

Kamala Harris was the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act.
But the current administration says that the economy is the strongest it has ever been 🤷♂️

We'll go with 'or something.'
At any other time in our history prior to the 2020 cheat, this election would be a 47-state landslide for Trump. https://t.co/7WZkkLbpsi
