Polis: People Feel ‘Pain Point’ of Costs Outpacing Wages

Ian Hanchett 27 Jun 2024

On Wednesday’s edition of NBC’s “MTP Now,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) stated that the stock market has done well and unemployment is low, so it’s not as though people feel that they don’t have jobs, but they feel “that costs have gone up faster than wages. And so, people see that in their groceries, they see that in their gas,” and “There’s a lot that President Biden has done and will do to help reduce costs for everyday families.”

Host Ryan Nobles asked, “What are your constituents telling you about the economy, about inflation, about these everyday, kitchen table issues that they’re struggling with? Is there a sense that things are getting better or is there still a lot of anxiety?”

Polis responded, “Well, the word economy’s a strange one, right? Because, sure, unemployment’s low, stock market’s up, but what do people feel? It’s not that they don’t have jobs, it’s that costs have gone up faster than wages. And so, people see that in their groceries, they see that in their gas, and they really want leaders at all levels, whether it’s local, state, or federal to really speak to that pain point and provide real solutions. There’s a lot that President Biden has done and will do to help reduce costs for everyday families. And that’s a really big focus of ours in Colorado.”

[LMAO]

Inflation will remain as long as the government prints money to fund deficits and prop up GDP numbers

I don’t care who wins the presidential race. This policy will continue regardless who wins in November

Energy costs going up isn't "inflation". It has been driven up dramatically due to government "green" policies. Electricity is about 42 cents a kWh in California these days and tiered so that it goes up rapidly if your usage is above "baseline" which nearly everyone's is. Government policy is driving all of this.

If I didn’t care about the fiscal and economic health of the country and illegal immigration and energy were my top issues, I would vote Trump

But Americans are going to continue to see their standard of living decline. And there’s only so much oil you can drill before the price gets too low and it isn’t profitable for companies to drill anymore
