Like Social Security taxes and food prices, energy costs are highly regressive.
That's a fancy word meaning that when they go up they impact you more if you don't make much to begin with.
Electricity prices are up 8% since Election 2024, not down 50%.
The price of natural gas to heat your home is up 13.7% since Election 2024, not down 50%.
The price of gasoline is up 40% since Election 2024, not down 50%.
Yes, there's been lots of talk about high gasoline prices, but not about Trump's incredible promises to halve them, as in to $1.59/gallon.
I don't care if it was dumb for Trump to promise such price reductions. He made the promises repeatedly, and deserved everything he got and more a week ago for failing spectacularly at it.
If you think Democrats are going to do what Trump couldn't, however, well, you'll deserve what they give you, good and hard.
