On Wednesday, an MSNBC panel of undecided voters unanimously agreed that President Joe Biden's economic policies are disastrous for their personal finances and that a return of President Donald Trump to the White House would bring a more positive economic environment.
"I think he's been absolutely disastrous for the economy," A Wisconsin voter named Nathan told MSNBC. All eight of the undecided voters on the MSNBC panel agreed that President Trump's policies on the economy would be better for their families. "We have areas here in Pennsylvania where it's just at a standstill right now," one of the panelists explained. "Like, things are supposed to be being built, and the interest rates are just way too high for people to, you know, invest and start moving around. The interest rate is so high right now, and I know they're trying to cut the inflation down, but if nobody is building, no businesses are really coming to Pennsylvania right now to keep us moving forward."
Another voter named Gigi said that she believed that Biden had been trying to ignore the impact of his economic policies on the middle class, who were attempting to purchase homes like hers. "I feel like he doesn't even take accountability at all with what's going on," the undecided Pennsylvania voter explained. "Not even accountability, like he's in denial that it's happening." As Biden continues to ignore the plight of struggling Americans, inflation has continued to persist.
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics report for March found that the CPI, a measurement of the cost of goods and services across the economy, rose 0.4 percent for the month. The core CPI, which eliminates food and energy prices from the calculation, also rose 0.4 percent this month, with the yearly rate at 3.8 percent. It's important to note that most of the inflation increase was caused by rising energy and housing prices. As reported by CNBC, energy increased by 1.1 percent while housing went up by 0.4 percent, resulting in a total increase of 5.7 percent year-over-year.
Food prices rose 0.1 percent in March, driven mainly by a 4.6 percent increase in egg prices, which resulted in a year-over-year increase of 2.2 percent. Medical expenses also rose 0.6 percent, while vehicle prices fell 1.1 percent. Consumers across America are attempting to adjust to rising prices, but some can't keep up and are forced to decide between keeping the lights on and having food in the pantry.
Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump took the opportunity to attack President Joe Biden, writing about Wednesday's report, "INFLATION is BACK—and RAGING! The Fed will never be able to credibly lower interest rates because they want to protect the worst President in the history of the United States!"
