It’s a Trap! Politicians Who Looted the Dollar Now Sell Affordability

Trillions of dollars in lost purchasing power. Prices reset permanently. Politicians promise solutions to the crises they created. The illusion of affordability is the latest scam — and the American working class is the target.
The Last Wire

Let’s get this straight — prices will never roll back to pre-Biden levels, and anyone promising otherwise is selling a lie.

Affordability Is a Political Hook — Not a Promise
The word of the season is “affordability.” Across campaign ads, debate stages, and stump speeches, certain Democrats have latched onto the term as a talisman for working-class discontent. But before you swallow it — know this: “affordability” in their mouth is a political hook, not a guarantee.

In 2025 alone, candidates ran — and in many cases won — on “affordability” platforms. Hakeem Jeffries declared, “Affordability was on the ballot, and affordability won throughout America.” Mikie Sherrill released her “Affordability Agenda,” pledging to tackle housing, healthcare, and utility costs. Abigail Spanberger rolled out “Affordable Virginia,” promising to ease cost-of-living burdens. Yet none can credibly claim that prices nationwide will ever return to pre-2020 levels.

'Affordability' means getting someone else to pay for it.

Communism, socialism, wealth redistribution, etc. ... multi-syllabic university pseduo-intellectual euphemisms for mugging someone.

As so many refuse to understand, inflation is a rate of change. Prices are what changed. You can stop inflation, bring it to 0.0%, but the prices will just remain the same. Prices dropping (all of them) is something else. Commodities fluctuate (why they aren't included in the inflation indices, I reckon.)

The other thing that happened during the Biden Era, is the slaughter of small businesses during COVID.
If they were not burned in the riots, they were shut down by rules.
A few adapted, but many could not.
That's the base of the economic food chain here in the States, and it was hurt, severely.
How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
