Speaker 0 reviewed a Walmart order from two years ago, where 45 grocery items for a month cost $126. Using the reorder function, the same 45 items now cost $414. This represents a fourfold increase in price.

Rent, groceries, car insurance, utilities, and everyday expenses have skyrocketed in price over the past few years. The speaker used to pay $1200 for rent, but now it's a staggering $21100, not including utilities. A simple trip to the grocery store cost them $67 for just three bags of chips, ground turkey, and vegetables. Their car insurance has also increased from $130 to $240 per month, despite having a clean driving record. Electric bills have gone up from an average of $45 to $125. Even buying a can of dip costs $8. The speaker is frustrated with the rising cost of living.

In 1961, the average Canadian family spent 34% of income on taxes and 57% on housing, food, and clothing. In 2023, taxes rose to 43%, with 36% going towards basic necessities.

During my presidency, mortgage rates reached an all-time low of 2.6%. However, currently, it is difficult to obtain loans as banks are reluctant to lend money. With a $2,000 monthly mortgage payment, you can only afford a house valued at less than $295,000. In contrast, under the Trump administration, the same payment would have allowed you to purchase a house worth $460,000 today.

A year ago, it took an hour of work for a middle wage worker to get 5.5 gallons of gas, but now they can get 8 gallons. This is a 40% improvement. However, the current gas price is around $3.60 per gallon, compared to $2.39 when Biden took office. So, in less than 2 years, we are in a worse place. The speaker admits that things are worse than before, indicating a pretty bad situation.

In America, the population has grown from 230 million to 341 million over 40 years, while the money supply has skyrocketed from $1.6 trillion to $21.6 trillion. This means there’s ten times more money per person, yet many feel poorer than ever. Since abandoning the gold standard in 1971, wealth has concentrated at the top due to Reaganomics, benefiting primarily asset holders. The Cantillon effect explains that only those who receive new money first gain from it. The cost of living has outpaced median income, with the average monthly expenses for a typical household rising from $2,171 in 1981 to $7,368 in 2024, while the median income is only $74,000. This disparity leaves many Americans feeling financially trapped despite the abundance of money in the economy.

My parents, both retired public school teachers, lived a comfortable life with a 3-bedroom house on a lake. They never had to worry about finances or take on side jobs. In contrast, my fiancé and I, who make the same amount as my parents did in high school, live in a rundown apartment where it rains inside. It's frustrating to think about how previous generations had the opportunity to live this way with regular jobs, while we struggle to make ends meet.

In the 1950s, the middle class in the United States experienced a significant rise, allowing families to afford a comfortable life and more. It was a time of optimism and hope, with a strong dollar and a booming economy. While there were still issues of poverty and segregation, the government was working towards solutions. Fast forward to today, and much has changed. Families now need two incomes to make ends meet, college is more expensive, and the dollar has lost its buying power. People are disheartened and lack hope for the future. The government is seen as creating conflicts and the American dream is fading. The middle class has been greatly affected, with limited autonomy and a loss of opportunities. However, there is still hope for a better future if we embrace democracy and elect representatives who prioritize a strong middle class.

In the past, a McDonald's Big Mac value pack, including a large Coke, a Big Mac, and a supersized fry with 30% more, cost $2.59. Ordering the equivalent in 2025—two Big Macs, two large fries, and two large Cokes—totals $26.46 before taxes.

Welcome to 2025, where a dozen eggs costs $12. An 18-pack of fizzy drinks is available, and a smaller pack is priced at $10. It's shocking to see that these used to be three for $5. Please send help.

In 1982, the average American earned $19,000 annually, and gas was 91¢ a gallon. A new home cost around $67,000, and movie tickets were $1.50. Families watched shows like Cheers and Night Rider on wood-paneled TVs. Michael Jackson's Thriller was popular on boomboxes, and Walkmans were a coveted item. Ozzy Osbourne toured with Diary of a Madman, and kids wanted Atari and Rubik's Cubes. People drank Tab or Crystal Pepsi while using microwaves. Grace Kelly's death saddened the world. Malls were crowded, MTV was new, and shoulder pads were growing in popularity. The overall feeling in America was hopeful and fast-paced.

In 2025, a young person describes surviving on near-minimum wage: "I just got off an eight hour shift at work where I make double minimum wage in my state." They have "$50 to last me till next week" and must run to Walmart because "the wire in my bra snapped. I don't have underwear because it keeps going missing. My eyelash curler broke, and I have no food." They bought "four things. Four fucking things, and it came out to $40," and are "living off granola bars." With "$10" left, their car "keeps misfiring" and they can't afford repairs, so they cycle through turning it off and on. They share living with four roommates, paying "$8.50 a month" (including everything). They lament "Remember back in the good old days..." and conclude, "Fuck you. You guys had it so fucking easy and then you destroyed everything behind you. Fuck you."

Existing home sales have dropped for the fourth time in five months, marking a 23-month consecutive decline compared to the previous year. This is the worst streak since the housing boom and subsequent crash. The main factor contributing to this situation is the injection of trillions of dollars into the economy, leading to high inflation levels not seen in decades. As a result, the average home price in America has surpassed $400,000, making it increasingly unaffordable for the average person. The Goldman Sachs affordability index is currently at its lowest point ever, with monthly payments for a house with a 20% down payment averaging around $2,310.

Growing up, my dad supported our family on a 100k salary while my mom stayed home. Now, as an adult, I struggle to afford rent on a 60k salary. It's hard to understand how my dad managed to support a family of four on his own income, while I can barely support myself.

Energy costs and gasoline prices are way down. Grocery costs are also coming down, and the country is finally getting costs under control. No one wants to talk about it because the news is so positive. The price of eggs has plummeted by 50%, but no one has written about it yet.

Everyday prices are too high, including food, rent, gas, and back-to-school clothes, which is called Bidenomics. A loaf of bread costs 50% more today, and ground beef is up almost 50%. There's not much left at the end of the month. Bidenomics is working. The price of housing has gone up, and it feels hard to get ahead. The speaker states they are very proud of Bidenomics.

The Camilla Harris price hikes have cost the average family $28,000. Credit card debt is at an all time high, and the prices of things have never been like this before. To bring the prices down and have a good life, vote for Trump.

In 1930, during the Great Depression, the average home was $39100, a car was $600, rent was $18 a month, and salary was $1300 a year. Today, the average home is $436,000, a car is $48, rent is $2,000 a month, and salary is $56,000 a year. Back then, a home was 3 times the salary, a car was 46% of the salary, and rent was 16% of the salary. Now, a home is 8 times the salary, a car is 85% of the salary, and rent is 42% of the salary. Translation: Comparing the Great Depression era to today, the cost of homes, cars, rent, and salaries has significantly increased, making housing, transportation, and living expenses a larger percentage of the average American's income.

During the Great Depression, the average home in America cost $39,100, the average car was $600, and the average monthly rent was $18. The average salary for the year was $1,300. Today, the average home costs $436,000, the average car is $48, and the average rent is $2,000 per month. The average American earns $56,000 annually. Comparing the two periods, the average home price has increased from 3 times the average salary to 8 times, while the car price has risen from 46% to 85% of the salary. Additionally, rent has gone up from 16% to 42% of the average salary.

In the video, the speaker discusses old newspaper ads from 20+ years ago showing significantly lower prices for groceries compared to today. They highlight items like beef, sausages, avocados, coffee, and more that were much cheaper back then. The speaker also mentions the current state of inflation, blaming the Federal Reserve's actions and the impact on food prices. Additionally, they promote products available at doctorjonesnaturals.com and urge viewers to check them out for health benefits.

Today, however, houses are eight times the average salary, cars make up 85% of yearly income, and rent takes up 42% of the annual salary.

Border arrests have soared, with 1.7 million migrants arrested along the US-Mexico border in the last fiscal year. Several reports link illegal immigrants to violent crimes, including murders in Georgia and Houston. In 1950, the average family income was $3,300 and a house cost $7,300, while in 2023, median personal income was $42,000 and the average house price was $495,000. Homelessness was negligible in 1950 but reached 653,000 in 2023. Worker productivity has increased by 254% since 1950, yet financial stability is harder to achieve. Immigrants hold approximately one in six jobs. Immigrant income is estimated to be 17% lower than native-born Americans, driving wages down. A 2018 study found 63% of noncitizen households benefit from welfare programs. While non-citizens use welfare at twice the rate per capita, US citizens pay 85% of the taxes. In 2021, educating illegal alien children cost around $4 billion. Immigrants use public transportation more frequently (25%) than native-born citizens (9%). Immigrants comprise significant portions of the workforce in retail, agriculture, construction, and professional sectors, including tech. The American dream has been sold off and given to whoever can do your job for less.

A loaf of bread costs 50% more today than before the pandemic. Ground beef is up almost 50%.

Recent data from the Social Security Administration reveals that half of American workers earned less than $41,000 last year, even lower than pre-pandemic levels. With the median wage at around $3,400 per month, expenses like rent, car payments, and other necessities leave very little for food and other essentials. The stagnant wages and rising costs make it difficult for young Americans to afford a house or even make ends meet. The decline in American productivity since 2000 is attributed to manipulated interest rates and increased government spending, which have led to economic booms followed by recessions. Unfortunately, these policies are continuing, with projected interest rate cuts and soaring federal spending. If there is no change in course, the situation may worsen, leading to a decline in the economy.
