Mark Alford: President Trump is delivering lower prices, safer streets


(From Fourth District Congressman Mark Alford)

Folks, the July inflation report is sending a message — and the message is clear: President Trump’s economic agenda is working.

Prescription drug prices fell 0.8%, gas prices dropped 2.9%, and auto insurance costs fell 0.3%. Real wages are rising, and we’re seeing relief on everyday staples like eggs, poultry, and dairy.







This is what happens when promises are made and those promises are kept. Lower costs, stronger wages, and more money in the pockets of hardworking American families.

The policies are taking effect, and we’re seeing the results.

Violent crime is dropping

Violent crime is dropping across America — and it’s not by accident.

Homicides are down 17.2%. Robberies are down 16.6%. Rapes are down 6.2%. Aggravated assaults are down 5.7%.

Strong leadership works, folks. President Trump is delivering safer streets for the American people, and it’s showing up in the numbers.

This is what happens when we put law and order first.

What else can he say?

Inflation and pricing were continually pimped by the Right Wing Nut Job Wurlitzer media machine, omg the price of eggs is worse than anything else could be, daddy knows best, so they said!

Still, the Republican base had a real, legitimate expectation fighting inflation and especially food prices would be a top action for Trump. (See the wanting badly to get fooled again movie!)

We all know what happened, thanks to Trump's chumps picking him a second time, wars of choice, soaring prices, tariffs at a whim, no tariff refunds for the little guy who paid them!

Hope none of their relatives are hungry on the poop deck of an aircraft carrier in the middle of nowhere!

The new fuel pumps should have the card reader mounted low. That way your're already bent over before you start the purchase!

If your paycheck went up as fast as your grocery bill this Alford clown would probably be against it!

No, 7:16AM we are all Paying through the Nose - THANKS TO OBAMACARE FOR - Higher Medical Costs, Pharmaceutical Costs, and Medical Insurance Premiums and Deductible Costs - with Fewer Services and Less Choices for Medical Practitioners.

Increased Federal Reliance, Massive Federal Subsidies, and Medicaid Expansion Costs contributed heavily to National Deficits. More of our Tax Dollars are having to Pay for this Debacle - Causing more and more Debt!
OBAMACARE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE - FROM DAY ONE!!!!!

Yesterday:

Can't make it up: Trump says, "The economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street." Well, we don't live on Wall Street. How is the economy working for you?

Tonight I need to fill up with gas, the only thing worse than getting tRUMPed for gas would be getting tRUMPed at the diesel pump.
