‘I would say they’re too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we’re making progress,’ the Vice President told Fox News

JD Vance admits the prices of groceries and housing are “too expensive” but once again has laid blame at the feet of the "disastrous Biden economy,” despite the Trump administration having taken the reins more than eight months ago.

“Housing is too expensive, groceries are too expensive. Now, I would say they’re too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we’re making progress,” Vance said, speaking to Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle.

The vice president made the remarks Friday when discussing the struggling U.S. economy and its potential link to a surge in popularity for Democratic New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani.

    In my lifetime I’ve never seen Conservatives take personal accountability for any of the consequences of their actions. They are so used to being entitled little babies that they always have to cry victim and find a scapegoat to blame. They refuse to even have productive national conversations on the results of their failed policies. On the flip side I have seen democrats take personal responsibility and try to fix mistakes as flawed as their party is. Conservatives on the other hand capitalize on the democrats taking personal accountability and just double down on their denial while escalating their bad behavior.

      Because their playbook is literally “blame the outgroup”.

      The guy was literally standing in front of eggs clearly priced at $2.99 and blamed Harris for being priced $4.

      When caught on camera for lying, the guy says “I was told there wouldn’t be fact checking”, which was in it of itself a lie.

      That’s what shattered the illusion of Christianity for me as a younger person. Horrible individuals hiding behind an institutional veil of morals.

      The past ten years have been even more illuminating. As all of these sorts of issues have been brought to the forefront. One of the common themes I’ve noticed is that the Venn diagram of these types of Christians / conservatives is the overlap is nearly a perfect circle with abusers.
