<p>Let&#8217;s call a spade a spade: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden&#8217;s America</a> stinks on ice. And it is likely to get even worse as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/inflation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bidenflation</a> is hurting your ability to give out gifts at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christmas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christmas</a> this year.</p>
<p>It is not even Columbus Day yet, but record-high inflation already has American consumers reconsidering their holiday shopping habits. According to <a href="https://dealaid.org/research/2022-holiday-shopping/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a new survey</a> from DealAid, 56.4% of Americans say that inflation is their number one concern this year about the fast-approaching holiday shopping season.</p>
<p>&#8220;Availability of funds is the number two concern with 46.4% of consumers being worried about not having enough disposable income to do their holiday shopping,&#8221; DealAid noted.</p>
<p>According to the group, in 2022, 48.2% more Americans than in 2021 are concerned about not having enough funds to purchase their gifts for Christmas and other holidays.</p>
<p>The survey is similar to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/select/how-inflation-changes-holiday-shopping-and-how-to-save-money/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another poll</a> from Bankrate which found that 40% of Americans are planning to change how much they spend on holiday items this year.</p>
<p>Of course, it does not take a poll for most Americans to know that the economy is taking a toll on how much people can afford to buy. They experience it every day.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-announced-a-plan-to-end-hunger-food-inflation-is-still-in-the-double-digits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the overall cost of goods between August 2021 and August 2022 rose 8.3%, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Food prices increased 11.4% over the same period.</p>
<p>According to a report from Bank of America, roughly 71% of Americans &#8220;feel the cost of living is outpacing growth in their salary or wages.&#8221;</p>
<p>Anecdotally, it is now fairly common to see parents put food items back in the checkout line at the grocery store, shocked at the cost.</p>
<p>According to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, however, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-midterm-plan-deny-reality" target="_blank" rel="noopener">understands</a> that inflation is a problem and is working to bring it down &#8220;without sacrificing all of the historic gains that we made this past year and life-changing economic gains this country has made over the last 19 months.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is unclear what historic gains she is referring to, as new data from Heritage Foundation revealed that the average American has lost $4,200 in income since Biden became president due to inflation and interest rate hikes.</p>
<p>In light of that reality, it appears that the White House is instead working to push out lies about the economy. Their goal is to convince voters that things aren&#8217;t as bad as they seem.</p>
<p>On Monday, Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/26/recession-fears-biden-economic-message-00058724" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ran a story</a> titled, &#8220;Biden’s economic success story could fall flat among people still struggling.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Joe Biden is ready to hype his economic success story,&#8221; the tagline read. &#8220;But inflation and other market factors could spoil the tale.&#8221;</p>
<p>Or put another way, &#8220;Propaganda might not work on people suffering.&#8221;</p>
<p>https://twitter.com/TimMeadsUSA/status/1574861870229487617?s=20&#038;t=dLAUMVXKf4DVqlZAOthvEA</p>
<p>Whichever way you want to characterize the White House messaging strategy, it would appear Biden&#8217;s an ardent believer in the old mantra, &#8220;Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.&#8221;</p>
<p>Unfortunately for Biden, no matter how he tries to spin the economy, he can&#8217;t tell voters their quality of life is better than it is as their hard-earned dollar stretches less and less. This is especially true as Americans head out to shop for Christmas and Hanukkah gifts, only to realize they can&#8217;t afford all that they want to buy their loved ones.</p>
