The numbers come as President Trump’s comments about Americans’ financial situation cause an uproar. As I noted in my newsletter:
Seventy-five percent of Americans say everything costs too much. A new poll finds that most believe every household staple — beef, bread, gas, eggs — was cheaper under Joe Biden than it is today.
That’s the reality Americans are living.
Even Larry Kudlow, Trump’s own former economic director, is calling the numbers “lousy.”
