Many Americans are saying inflation is making it hard to afford Christmas presents this year. As Congress prepares to pass a massive $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package, the situation might become dire.
The rise in costs at the store and the gas pump has forced people to save more than they usually do in order to afford presents for their families.
“I have saved to be able to do Christmas with the kids,” Irene, from Arizona, told Fox News. “Things are a lot more expensive.”
A Fox News report found that even though inflation has dropped from 9.1% in June to 7.1% in November, 57% of American adults are still having to make ends meet in order to afford Christmas gifts this year.
One Arizona resident reported that his family has had to choose between a generous amount of gifts or “more important things that they might need.”
In spite of the financial difficulties Americans are facing during the Christmas season, the Senate moved ahead with the omnibus bill on Tuesday. The package includes allocation of thousands and even millions of dollars to projects such as the “Michelle Obama Trail,” naming a federal building after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and a number of LGBTQ+ activist organizations.
Republican senators such as Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rick Scott (R-FL) argue that the omnibus bill boils down to more government spending. Meanwhile, Americans continue to struggle to cover the cost of everyday expenses.
Democrats and RINOs have further damaged our economy by adding to inflation.
For Depression 2
Democrats and RINOs have just added to our inflation and economic problems by their huge expenditures to buy votes. They will keep doing this and the middle class will continue to suffer until we quit allowing them to buy our votes with our money.
Every Congress member who voted for the masive spending bill should be fired immediately.
CONGRESS WON’T LISTEN TO US. HAVE KIDS SEND EMAILS/LETTERS TO THE EVIL 18 SENATORS – BLUNT, BOOZMAN, CAPITO, COLLINS, CORNYN, COTTON, GRAHAM, INHOFE, MCCONNELL, MORAN, MURKOWSKI, PORTMAN, ROMNEY, ROUNDS, SHELBY, THUNE. WICKER AND YOUNG .
Dear Senator,
Why have you betrayed us. You sold out our country by voting on a bill you never read and spending money we didn’t have. Now my generation is stuck with your malfeasance. Your legacy is this: You sold out the USA & made us kids pay for it. You escalated a war to trigger WW III. You kept us from reopening US energy but kept inflation burning. You energized illegal immigration, fentanyl, kid trafficking, the death of illegals, murder of Americans, & militarizing & enrichment of cartels. You Increased FBI funding so the Gestapo could round up more conservatives. You got rich off global lobbyists
If and when we can vote, I hope we elect people better than you.
