The "Let Them Eat Cake" Presidency

Rapid Response

With today’s inflation numbers, the White House’s insistence that inflation is a “high class problem” has now taken its place in the history books next to Marie Antoinette saying “let them eat cake.”

  • FACT: Inflation has outpaced wages every single month since Biden’s $1.9 trillion “stimulus” was passed.
  • FACT: Real average hourly earnings are down 2.7% and real average weekly earnings are down 3.6%.
  • FACT: The Consumer Price Index has been at or above 5% for 11 straight months.
  • FACT: Price increases are broad based, including for basic necessities like food, energy, and rent.
  • FACT: Bidenflation is costing Americans $433 per month just to maintain the same level of living.

And Biden insists this is “Putin’s Price Hike”? That’s insulting to the intelligence of the American people, and we aren’t buying it.

Instead of lying to American families struggling to pay his Bidenflation tax, Biden should own up to his mistakes and actually work to reverse his disastrous policies.
