‘I would say they’re too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we’re making progress,’ the Vice President told Fox News
JD Vance admits the prices of groceries and housing are “too expensive” but once again has laid blame at the feet of the "disastrous Biden economy,” despite the Trump administration having taken the reins more than eight months ago.
“Housing is too expensive, groceries are too expensive. Now, I would say they’re too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we’re making progress,” Vance said, speaking to Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle.
The vice president made the remarks Friday when discussing the struggling U.S. economy and its potential link to a surge in popularity for Democratic New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani.
Are you the current administration?
Yes: Blame the previous administration.
No: Blame the current administration.
Saving this in case my employer wants to send me to the US
Sure, must have nothing at all to do with massive tariffs on food and construction supplies and arresting a lot of the food and construction workers.
That’s only the most recent reason making things worse.
Oops looks like we elected people who cant fix “the damage biden did.” Impeachment anyone?
lol yeah, disastrous biden economy. It was booming you fucking fascist cunt. Stop lying.
Well, he sure can’t blame the ultra-wealthy oligarchy that groomed him to wield power on their behalf.
“…we’re making progress”
Let’s check on their progress. One of the major complaints during Biden was gas prices. One of the things I explicitly heard Trump promise to do was to cut gas prices in half during the first year. This wasn’t some vague statement that could be interpreted another way. He stood up on the stump on camera and directly said that gas prices would be cut in half in the first year of his second term.
The national average price of retail gasoline on January 20th, 2025 was $3.18 per gallon. Half of that is $1.59. What progress have we seen toward that $1.59 benchmark with less than 4 months to go? The national average price now is $3.17.
One cent lower than $3.18. I guess JD is technically correct. They’ve made progress. We’re nearly 0.63% of the way there, two thirds of the way through the year. Think we’re going to make it?
He can hardly blame the real reason, or he’d be out of his job in a minute.
They’ll be blaming Biden in 2028. Trump will run for a third term and still pretend he’s running against Biden. Joe Biden might literally die by then and Trump will still be taking jabs at him and calling him “too old”.
“Don’t you want a president who’s only half decomposed?”, he will say. And the crowds will cheer.
Here’s hoping this orange clown doesn’t get past 2025.
What 2028 election? Let’s see how 2026 goes.
Before that it was Obama
They will kill you and your family with the military if you disagree because disagreement is terrorism
It’s good to know my opinions terrify those in power.
Is this “Biden” in the White House with you right now?
Its rent free n their heads.
BDS
He’s still finding his hair between the couch cushions
Well he is searching really hard
It gets stuck in his teeth
Trump literally put tariffs on food you fucktard.
"No, you are wrong, it was a knock on from bidens economy…ok, you are not wrong but slightly incorrect. And by that I mean yes you are completely correct that it wasn’t biden at all, and completely the tangerine imbeciles fault but I was also say that I’m waffling on and being distracting. However by this point tRUMPs base of complete idiots will have totally tuned out and will only remember the first words about it being bidens fault.
Also, don’t mention the Epstein list, or how the orange fucktard raped children. We are distracting people from all that as well"
This stuff boils my piss. The same thing happens in the UK. I get that you need to show restraint to maintain access but there shouldn’t be anything wrong with posing their argument as a negative!
“So you’re saying this administration is failing to get a grip on the economy?” Even if he responds, he’ll be angry, angry people make mistakes. Or even then just say, “Perfect, youre responding with feeling instead of thought: how does it feel knowing your boss is in the epstine files?”
How the hell can no one get a grip on this narrative.
Just turn to the camera and ignore them! “You heard it here first! The VPJD has no confidence in the administration!”
It is also infuriating because Biden spent his term dealing with the fallout of Covid.
Americans got totally fucked during the pandemic. The government handed out a one time payment to some of the population that wouldn’t be enough to cover a months rent on a single bedroom apartment.
They then did the paycheck protection program where they handed out gobs of money to business owners. These “loans” were forgiven and plenty of wealthy business owners just ended up pocketing piles of money.
So you have an incompetent trump government failing to do public health policy, then only helping the owner class, causing massive inflation.
The republicans always do this. They take over a healthy economy, pass policies that supercharge it in the short term but are completely unsustainable in the long term.
The economy crashes, the voters put a democrat in office, the democrat spends their term cleaning up the mess, and then gets shit for having a crappy economy.
The worst part is, as soon as the other side is in charge, it’s suddenly on them now and not the previous administration like it was before.
And people fucking buy it
When people treat politics like a team sport this is where you end up. My team can do no wrong and I will go to the mat to defend them.
But, but, Gold Team rules!
They’re journalists, they don’t even know they are the porblem.
They aren’t journalists, they are fox news entertainers.
These assholes came in and fucked everything up and then have the fucking balls to blame Biden for their obvious failures.
No way in fucking hell they’d be able to get away with this level of propaganda if it weren’t for the Republican Noise Machine, but a whole lot of dumbfucks believe that the economy under Biden was terrible and that Taco is working to fix it.
Biden’s economy was described as the envy of the world, a Goldilocks economy, etc. And these chucklefucks will stand there with a shit-eating grin and use phrases like “we inherited a disastrous Biden economy”. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.
If you think the economy of 2021-2024 was ‘goldilocks’ I think you’re conflating massive AI investment with a “good economy”
Unless your job was developing and implementing AI solutions, you were probably getting fucked. The majority of big companies implemented RTO for softlayoffs, and then warn notices were a record outside of the pandemic year for 2023 reaching nearly 350k roles.
Signs right now point to AI literally holding the company up as greedy CEOs and Boards shoot for infinite money machines that will never materialize with current AI/ML techniques and methodologies. When that slumps the stupid valuation of companies like nvidia are going to bomb so hard the great depression of the 21st century will be underway.
Not to mention the fallout of the PPP grift, a massive transfer of wealth that we’re still paying for in inflation. The best you can say about that is that it was a bipartisan $1t ratfucking of the working class.
Pretty much. The ownership fuck us and for some stupid reason the ignorant middle class on either side thinks that somehow it could be good for them, depending on if it’s their guy in office or not.
I’m a true leftist liberal. I’m 100% pro labor. That means I am neither democrat nor republican. The closest thing in the democrat party that’s aligned with my beliefs is Bernie, and they shit on him when he almost got traction.
Never forget that term limits were established for FDR because he was similarly pro-labor and got elected to four fucking terms because of all the good he did for the many. Ever since him all the politicians have done is chip away at what was built. Obamacare was a token effort by comparison to what he accomplished.
I don’t know why this post got down voted but Cory Doctorow agrees with you.
Only upside is whenever this bubble pops it’s going to be on Trump’s watch. ( How confident is the maga regime in their ability to fix the next two elections…? )
Maybe they are fine with a crash of the stock market and then the whole dollar-based economy because they are going all in on crypto.
