It’s hard for Americans to find the “joy” and “hope” that Democratic leaders talked about at their convention in August. Prices of things are going through the roof, and people are having a hard time paying their bills. For example, the cost of car insurance went up 54% while Vice President Kamala Harris was in charge.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, car insurance rates have gone up a lot since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office. Car insurance prices went up by a huge 54% between January 2021 and July 2024.
This is only one part of the scary inflation that the Biden-Harris administration’s policies have caused. According to unadjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI) statistics, costs for new cars have gone up 19% since Biden and Harris took office.
During that time, the prices of used cars and trucks went up by 20%.
To make things even worse, Americans are paying a lot more to keep their cars in good shape while they may wait to buy new ones because prices have gone up. Maintenance and repair costs for cars have gone up by 30% on average since Biden and Harris took office. That doesn’t count the fact that gas prices also hit a new high while they were in charge.
Democrats probably won’t understand how important that problem is; instead, they’ll use it as a chance to force electric cars (EVs) on Americans. People can expect Harris to push this, since she was a happy co-sponsor of the Green New Deal, a plan to abolish gas-powered cars.
Breitbart News Economics Editor John Carney wrote in Breitbart Business Digest that Americans don’t have to look any further than Harris to see that everyday things are more expensive.
He said, “Of course, Harris was right in the middle of it all, breaking ties in the Senate for some of the biggest, and let’s face it, most expensive, spending bills in recent history. People said that the $1.9-trillion American Rescue Plan would save a country in trouble. However, it turned into the fuel for a rising fire that has been hard to put out.”
