The only hope for “affordability” is capitalism. Capitalism meets demand by producing the goods. The quest for profit ultimately leads to more goods and that, in turn, reduces prices. Socialism creates NOTHING. It disrupts innovation, prevents production and leads to stagnation and shortages. Socialist voters always live in capitalist countries. They take for granted that goods will continue to be present and plentiful. What they mean by “affordability” is: they would rather not pay for anything.
The U.S. economy expanded at a surprisingly strong 4.3% annual rate in the third quarter as consumer spending, exports and government spending all grew.

Interesting. All I hear people saying is how bad the economy is. “AI” is destroying the economy. How? It’s never explained. Trump is destroying the economy. By doing what? Why, it’s Trump! No other explanation needed. Well, ok; he’s racist. Inflation is killing us. Yes, it is. But governments create inflation. Democrats want unlimited government. Inflation escalated under first COVID (unlimited government) and then Biden’s puppet presidency. Trump has cut back government, and inflation (including gas) is going down.
People’s actions seem to suggest the economy is improving. But our Communist socialist fascist woke media is spewing all the propaganda. So sad. So wrong. And so unsustainable.
