According to a Rasmussen Reports survey published this week, the majority of potential voters are worried about the national debt.

According to the study, three-quarters, or 76 percent, are concerned about the amount of the U.S. national debt, which stands at more than $31.4 trillion. According to the United States national debt clock, this translates to more than $94,000 every American citizen and more than $246,000 each American taxpayer.

Of the 76 percent who are worried, 53 percent are “very worried.”

The study comes after Congress passed the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that was backed by Democrats in Dec., which President Joe Biden signed. The 4,155-page bill includes a slew of wasteful provisions, including $575 million for “reproductive health” in areas where population growth “threatened biodiversity,” $45 billion for Ukraine, $11 million for LGBT-projects, several earmarks that total $60 million for RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski, $1.5 million for the “COVID American History Project,” and much more.

According to the Rasmussen Reports poll, half of those that were polled disapprove of the $1.7 trillion spending measure, while 45 percent support it. Furthermore, 61 percent agree with former Pres. Donald Trump’s assessment of the plan, calling it “ludicrous” and “wrong.”

According to the results of the poll:

“Majorities in every political group are concerned about the amount of the US national debt, including 87% of Republicans, 67% of Dems, and 73% of people who are not connected with either major party. However, 69% of Republicans and 53% of unaffiliated voters are extremely concerned about the rising debt and only 38% of Dems are extremely concerned.

While a large majority of Democrats (73%) approve of the $1.7 trillion spending measure enacted by Congress last month, only 21% of conservatives and 40% of unaffiliated voters do. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans, 40% of unaffiliated voters, and 14% of Dems strongly oppose the funding measure.

Eighty percent of Conservatives and 59% of unaffiliated voters agree that the $1.7 billion spending measure is a “monstrosity” and a “national tragedy,” as do 46% of Democrats.”

According to a study detailing federal data, the IRS is targeting low-wage and middle class Americans with audits, while workers earning a million or more yearly are investigated at a lower rate.

According to statistics provided by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), the chances of the IRS auditing millionaires in the conventional manner carried out by tax auditors or revenue agents were just 1.1 percent.

Based on the IRS audit rate, just one out of every hundred millionaires in the U.S. was audited by tax auditors or revenue agents in Fiscal Year 2022. Even when letters issued by the IRS requesting further financial evidence are included, millionaires were only audited at a rate of 2.4 percent last year.

Last year, an estimated 700,000 millionaires were not investigated by the IRS.

Meanwhile, the IRS audit rate for Americans earning less than $25,000 per year was 1.27 percent. Revenue agents or tax auditors conducted about 8,900 audits on working-class earners, which is less than the roughly 8,700 audits done on millionaires in Fiscal Year 2022.

The TRAC study states:

“As previously noted, millionaires have the highest chances of getting audited. However, if one disregards the fantasy of auditing a billionaire by just mailing a letter, the odds that millionaires receiving a standard audit by an agent (1.1%) were actually smaller than the audit rates of the targeted lower income wage-earners, which was 1.27 percent!”

Similarly, upper-middle-class and lower-class Americans earning between $25,000 and $200,000 received over 63,000 IRS audits through tax auditors or revenue agents last year, with over 187,000 audits done via correspondence letters.

In other words, the IRS audited 1.9 out of every 1,000 middle-class Americans last year, a higher audit rate than millionaires when correspondence audits are omitted.

The report comes as Dems and President Joe Biden pushed through legislation last year to extract $20 billion from largely middle and working-class Americans via increased IRS audits.

An estimated 78 to 90 percent of the funds raised by these new IRS investigations and audits will come from American families earning under $200,000 per year. Meanwhile, only four to nine percent are predicted to come from families earning over $500,000 each year.

According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, global food prices for commodities such as grains and vegetable oils reached their highest levels ever last year despite decreasing for nine straight months as a result of the Russian military campaign in Ukraine, a drought, and other factors that caused inflation to increase and exacerbate hunger around the world.

According to the Rome-based FAO, which records monthly changes in the prices of frequently traded food commodities on the worldwide market, prices fell 1.9% in December from a month earlier. It averaged 143.7 points for the whole year, more than 14% over the 2021 average, which also experienced significant rises.

The decline in December was mainly caused by a drop in the price of vegetable oils due to a decrease in import demand, increasing soy oil output projections in South America, and lower crude oil prices. While Sugar and dairy saw a tiny increase, meat and grain also declined.

“After two years of extreme volatility, lower food commodity prices are welcome,” according to the head economist of the FAO, Maximo Torero. “Given that world food prices continue to be high, that many staples are close to record highs, that rice costs are rising, and that there are still numerous concerns related to the future supply, it is necessary to be attentive and have a strong focus on alleviating global food supplies.”

According to FAO data, last year, the United Nations Organization’s Food Price Index reached its highest level since records started in 1961.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February worsened a food crisis because the two countries were key worldwide producers of barley, wheat, sunflower oil, and other items, particularly to countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia that were already facing food insecurity.

Food prices reached record highs as a result of the disruption of crucial Black Sea supplies, which increased poverty, inflation, and food insecurity in poor countries that depend on imports.

The energy markets and fertilizer supply, both crucial to the production of food, were also shaken by the war. There have also been climatic shocks that have exacerbated famine in regions like the Horn of Africa. The greatest drought in decades is severely affecting Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and the U.N. has issued a famine alert for areas of Somalia. Already, thousands of people have died.

Wheat and corn prices reached record highs last year, according to the FAO, albeit they declined in December along with the price of other grains. It said that crops in the Southern Hemisphere increased supply and that exporters faced fierce competition.

The Vegetable Oil Price Index for the organization reached a record high in 2017 while declining in December to its lowest point since February 2021. The FAO Meat Price Index and Dairy Price Index both reached their highest levels since 1990 for the whole year of 2022.

According to a CNBC report, a nonprofit financed by billionaire George Soros “quietly” contributed $140 million to political causes in 2021, along with another $60 million to “like-minded” charity groups.

According to CNBC, the Open Society Policy Center, a Soros-backed nonprofit within the Open Society Foundations network, gave at least $140 million to “politically charged nonprofit groups” one prior to the midterm elections, in addition to almost $60 million to charitable 501(c)(3)s that are not allowed to participate in politics.

The report detailed:

“According to a copy of its 2021 tax filing obtained by CNBC, Soros, who personally donated $170 million to Democratic candidates and campaigns during the 2022 midterms, distributed the additional funds through the Open Society Policy Center, which is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group that falls under the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations network. In addition, the Open Society Policy Center distributed around $138 million to advocacy groups and causes in 2020. Tax documents and its website show that two of Soros’ children are on its board.”

The report also reveals that the billionaire’s nonprofit donations do not necessarily go directly to political causes, but rather “may move from one of his organizations to another before being spent on the organizing, advertising, and social media operations that directly reach the voters.”

Furthermore, according to the report and the foundation’s website, much of the Open Society Policy Center’s 2021 contributions were not “earmarked” for any elections, but Tom Watson, an editorial director at Open Society Foundations, told CNBC differently.

In an email, Watson told CNBC that “there are absolutely some OSPC funding that went to organizations seeking to resist vote suppression, boost voter registration, and enhance civic involvement,” all of which are Democratic principles.

This would raise Soros’ total donations to political campaigns and causes since Jan. 2020 to at least $500 million.

Soros-funded organizations have funneled millions of dollars to many organizations that have worked to help illegal aliens evade deportation from the United States, organizations advocating for mass immigration and amnesty for illegal immigrants, and organizations working to normalize and legalize prostitution.

Luxury house sales have recently dropped significantly as the country struggles with economic issues.

On Monday, Forbes reported:

“According to a recent study from Redfin, a technology-powered real estate agency, sales of luxury properties decreased 38.1% year over year for the three months ending November 30, 2022, the largest drop on record. This exceeded a record 31.4% drop in non-luxury house sales. The data from Redfin dates back to 2012.”

“Many of the same causes slowed the luxury market and the broader housing market in 2022: inflation, relatively high interest rates, a falling stock market, and recession worries.”

Meanwhile, America’s housing market is seeing its second-largest price drop since the conclusion of World War II.

Mitch Roschelle, founding partner of Macro Trends Advisors, noted that the correction is related to citizens’ uncertainty and concerns about economic issues:

“A number of factors will force it to reverse course, implying that property values will rise. And when you don’t know if interest rates will rise or fall. That, I believe, is keeping many people away from purchasing because they don’t for sure if rates will be lower in two months, so they’ll simply wait.”

“Another source of concern is economic uncertainty. And I believe the shoe will drop if we start seeing layoffs and unemployment begin to climb; I believe this will create a significant collapse in the housing market.”

According to a new study, most Americans are still anxious about the economy under President Joe Biden’s (D) leadership.

“Of 1,000 potential voters polled between December 12-13, 86 percent say they are concerned about the economy, with 60 percent saying they are ‘very concerned,’ suggesting a rise in anxiety since August,” the study said.

According to the Forbes analysis, signs point to a rebound in demand in the home market as loan rates fall.

Pacaso CEO and co-founder Austin Allison recently discussed the real estate sector in an interview with Fox Business, saying, “What we witnessed over the previous couple of years was not normal, you know, properties selling in a couple of days for multiples over ask is not sustainable.”

“What we’re seeing now is a return to normalcy, so when you see headlines saying that real estate is down 30% year over year, it’s essential to note that real estate transactions are still up quite a bit when compared to pre-pandemic levels,” he said.
