More background on “The True Cost of Washington:”
AFP’s The True Cost of Washington campaign will educate Americans in nine states, including South Dakota, about the truth behind rising costs while offering real solutions to make everyday life more affordable. Thanks to skyrocketing inflation, Americans across the country can expect to spend an extra $5,200 to maintain the same standard of living as last year, and an extra $1,433 for gasoline.
A poll recently conducted by Public Opinion Strategies for AFP found that 75 percent of Americans reported that the increase in costs has impacted their consumer behavior over the past year. Most individuals surveyed agreed that government policies and regulations have caused price increases. 61 percent of those surveyed blamed President Biden for this increase.
AFP’s solutions to combat these rising prices garnered support, with 88 percent of respondents agreeing the government should make it easier to produce energy domestically, and 82 percent agreeing with getting government spending under control by tackling the federal debt and reducing federal budget deficits.
What a brilliant move!
It’s almost as if Koch industries can change the prices of fuel for political gain and they are funding AFP. So weird. I hope the savings of $20 for each person filling up doesn’t create more inflation though. We can still blame Biden for that, even though AFP is doing this, right?
They’re going to subsidize gas to protest the government involvement in a free market?
Say that again slowly.
Lol I know. Did anyone show up for this socialist stunt?
When I went to school, socialism was government control of markets. So, your trolling game is weak….very weak.
When I went to school, fascism was corporations controlling government. So, your logic game is weak….very weak.
And again…your lack of education is showing: Definition of fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
So fascism = trumpism = gop. Got it.
If you want to see who is making the money compare the terminal price to the pump price. Don’t forget to add about 46 cents for tax.
