Of course, if you head over to CNN, you won’t find much, if anything, on their front page about inflation and the economy. Nor at the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, or most left run outlets. The two issues are the most important to voters, but, hey, if the media talks about them, they’d be hurting the Democrats, right?
CNN host jokes Americans will have to eat smaller portions this Thanksgiving due to inflation
CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield quipped on Sunday that Americans will have to reduce their portion sizes on Thanksgiving because of high inflation.
“It seems like we’re all gonna be eating smaller portions if anything,” Whitfield said in response to reports of higher prices for Thanksgiving meals.
Prior to her joke, CNN Business consumer reporter Nathaniel Meyersohn detailed the extent to which inflation will impact consumers this holiday season.
“All signs are pointing to a more expensive Thanksgiving meal this year,” Meyersohn said. “One estimate this week predicted that Thanksgiving meal prices will rise 13.5% from a year ago. Some of our favorite sides will be more expensive, potatoes, fruit and vegetables will be up 10%. Baking ingredients up double digits. And then when it comes to desert, pies are gonna be up 20%.”
Funny stuff, eh? The media, like the rest of the Democrats, are tone deaf. The Washington Post is attempting to tell us that abortion is the most important issue for Latinos. The Brookings Institute wonders if focusing on abortion will reverse Democratic losses among Latinos.
Inflation rates predicted to play a big role in midterm elections
With the 2022 midterm elections coming up on Tuesday, Nov. 8, the economy and healthcare are two of the driving factors affecting voters’ decisions at the polls this year. In a recent national poll conducted by the University of Massachusetts political science department, approximately 59 percent of Americans reported they are highly worried about inflation.
“The midterm elections are going to be much more affected by the fundamentals,” said Jesse Rhodes, a political science professor at UMass. Some voters are likely to make voting decisions based on the, “state of [the] economy, state of inflation … [and] really high issues like abortion and the Dobbs ruling.”
The U.S. annual inflation rate is currently eight percent. “Food prices, health care costs, those are rising at a faster rate than eight percent so that is what people look at,” said Deepankar Basu, economics professor at UMass.
With gas prices being at a higher cost compared to previous years, voters in the U.S. are starting to notice a significant problem with inflation.
Starting to notice? Middle and working class voters noticed long ago, and we can see which party is unserious about it, and using it to push their hardcore leftist agenda.
Women’s top financial concern is inflation, Fidelity study finds
Rising prices are taking a toll on everyone right now, but a new study shows women are feeling the pain more than men – and it is the primary money woe keeping ladies up at night.
Research from Fidelity Investments found that inflation is currently the top financial concern for U.S. women, with upwards of 70% citing it as their main worry. Respondents listed the costs of essentials as the second-biggest stressor (65%), and another 58% expressed worries about not having enough saved for emergencies.
Women 18-25 are more concerned about the cost of education (say, who controls that? It’s not Republicans), managing debt and credit (stop taking out loans you can’t afford for degrees with low earnings potential. Stop ordering delivery. Stop spending all that money on stuff and travel to take selfies), and not knowing how to invest (take a class. Read books). For 26 and up, it’s the economy. Democrats do not care.
