LABOR DAY WEEKEND: Expensive As Ever Under Kamala

August 31, 2024

As Americans hit the road this Labor Day weekend, they have Kamala Harris to thank for sky-high prices

 

The cost of "nearly every Labor Day staple" is up anywhere from 3% to 10% or more over just the last year, according to CBS News, with the cost of a dozen eggs up 47%, hot dogs up nearly 10%, ground beef up nearly 8%, and beans up 6%.

 

Americans are also feeling pain at the pump — againThe nationwide average for regular gasoline is $3.34/gallon — around a dollar higher than when Kamala took office.

 

 

When you take into account the entirety of Kamala's term, it's even worse, with overall prices up 20.2% since she took office:

  • Overall grocery prices are up 21.6% (they grew just 5.9% under Trump).
  • Transportation costs are up 32.9% (they grew just 2.1% under Trump).
  • Airfares are up 22.6% (they declined 23.5% under Trump).

Meanwhile, Americans' earning power hasn't kept up. Real average weekly earnings are DOWN 3.9% under Kamala; they INCREASED 8.2% under President Trump.

 

President Trump will MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AGAIN!
