‘I would say they’re too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we’re making progress,’ the Vice President told Fox News
JD Vance admits the prices of groceries and housing are “too expensive” but once again has laid blame at the feet of the "disastrous Biden economy,” despite the Trump administration having taken the reins more than eight months ago.
“Housing is too expensive, groceries are too expensive. Now, I would say they’re too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we’re making progress,” Vance said, speaking to Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle.
The vice president made the remarks Friday when discussing the struggling U.S. economy and its potential link to a surge in popularity for Democratic New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani.

Crazy how grocery prices and housing prices are both low and high at the same time. Republicans are really having a Schrodinger’s economy right now.
“The [economy] is both strong and weak”
Nice, I hadn’t heard of this book. I will be reading it later!
It’s not a book, it’s like a 9 page essay and you can easily find a PDF of it.
It should be required reading for every adult in a “free” society.
They know that their base is gullible enough to lap this up. Give them slop and they will eat slop.
The first year of the Biden presidency (2021) saw strong growth in real GDP, wages, employment, stock market returns, and household net worth, coupled with an increase in inflation, as the economy recovered from the pandemic recession of 2020.

Basically, the Biden administration economy was just along for the wild ride of post pandemic and Russian war nonsense, both the ups and downs.
Generally speaking I don’t believe in the usual “the economy is whatever the president makes if it”, though Trump’s policies are unusually terrible economically, so I guess he’s convinced me that presidents can be mostly responsible for economy, at least a bad one.
The only response to this bullshit is pointing out to the Davenport Diddler that they promised a fix day one. They said it would be easy.
Biden? Not Obama?
Classic Republican playbook. Same shit over and over again for decades now… everything bad is a Democrat’s fault and everything good is to their credit. And their chumps enthusiastically believe that, literally. It’s much like a narcissistic personality disorder person in a relationship. Can’t admit fault, weakness, apologize, very hypocritical, so on
This mimics religion for me; what I’ve heard and/or interpreted. (Not my personal belief.) Everything good is god’s doing, while everything bad is a person’s failing. It’s such a load of crock to live by, yet it seemingly thrives in people’s minds.
Bizarrely? Republicans deliberately taking no responsibility at all is as normal as the sun rising and setting.
We’ll see this exact headline presented unironically as news every few months for the full duration of the Turd Reich.
How do you mean? You don’t think tarrifs are helping Americans? You don’t think hiring idiots and incompetent assholes will ruin us all?
Apshh. Okay.
Right. It is bizarre, but certainly not surprising or unusual. Just the same deranged playbook where everything bad is the previous administration’s fault.
Before that it was Obama
He can hardly blame the real reason, or he’d be out of his job in a minute.
Trump literally put tariffs on food you fucktard.
"No, you are wrong, it was a knock on from bidens economy…ok, you are not wrong but slightly incorrect. And by that I mean yes you are completely correct that it wasn’t biden at all, and completely the tangerine imbeciles fault but I was also say that I’m waffling on and being distracting. However by this point tRUMPs base of complete idiots will have totally tuned out and will only remember the first words about it being bidens fault.
Also, don’t mention the Epstein list, or how the orange fucktard raped children. We are distracting people from all that as well"
‘I would say they’re too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we’re making progress,’ the Vice President told Fox News
Nah, prices have continuously gone up since you idiots took over. Your fucking trade war BS isn’t helping.
Now you can’t blame it all on their trade policies. They also snatch people off the streets that we rely on for food and construction work.
Maybe if they cut my bosses taxes a few more times I’ll start to prosper???
Trickle down!!
Its working! Its working!
They’d blame Biden for gravity existing.
