Kamala Harris was asked a direct question during last night’s debate: “When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?”


She didn’t answer yes because she couldn’t answer yes. Americans aren’t better off, and even liberal economists admit that Kamalanomics is to blame. This reality was reaffirmed by new consumer prices data released today, showing that American families are still being hammered by Kamala’s price hikes, even as hundreds of previously reported jobs go up in smoke.


Here are the price increases since Kamala took office.

  • Overall: +20.3%
  • Gas: +46.1%
  • Electricity: +30.7%
  • Fuel oil: +43.4%
  • Airfare: +21%
  • Hotels: +49.4%
  • Groceries: +21.5%
  • Baby food: +29.5%
  • K-12 food: +66.2%
  • Rent: +22.5%
  • Transportation: +32%
  • Car insurance: +54.9%

And on food specifically:

  • Eggs: +53.8%
  • Flour: +37.2%
  • Milk: +17%
  • Bread: +24.2%
  • Beef: +29%
  • Chicken: +24.7%
  • Pork: +19.3%
  • Frozen veggies: +28.7%
  • Beans: +23.3%
  • Potatoes: +15.4%
  • Pasta: +18.3%
  • Lunchmeat: +22.8%
  • Cereal: +22.6%

These price hikes have devastated the finances of American families:

  • Under Kamala, real average weekly earnings are down 3.4%. They increased 8.2% under President Trump.
  • Household debt is at a record $17.69 trillion while credit debt has exceeded $1 trillion.
  • Seriously overdue credit card debt is at its highest level in more than a decade.
  • In fact, Kamalanomics has cost the average middle-class household at least $33,000 in real wealth.

In yesterday’s debate, Kamala essentially admitted that Americans are not better off after almost 4 years with her as vice president. To restore American prosperity, vote for President Trump!
