On Thursday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was questioned by a Senate Committee and he had some reality checks about "affordability" that the Dems are trying to turn into a midterm campaign issue.
One Democrat in particular who got heap big humiliated was Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who tried to pin "affordability" problems on the Trump administration. Dances With Identity Theft ended up getting wrecked:

"Do you have proof" is just a special response from the show's host.

The proof is supply and demand. https://t.co/LcwfHCOVJD
Sheesh. It's either abject stupidity or a stubborn refusal to accept facts that destroy your argument. https://t.co/hzYx7q8ufV
