Vice President JD Vance is telling the truth about our economy — and it’s time more folks listen. In a recent interview, Vance said what many Americans already know: everything costs too much, and people are tired of waiting for things to get better. But he also made something else very clear — this mess didn’t start under President Trump. It started under Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Let’s be honest. Prices went through the roof while Biden was in the White House. Gas, groceries, rent — you name it. Families were hurting. And now, less than a year into President Trump’s second term, the same Democrats who caused this disaster are blaming him for not fixing it fast enough. That’s not just wrong — it’s dishonest.
Vance called this a “totally bogus narrative,” and he’s right. Democrats want you to believe the pain you feel at the checkout line is Trump’s fault. But the facts say otherwise. Inflation exploded under Biden. It was his spending, his energy policies, and his reckless regulations that drove costs up for everyone. President Trump and his team are working hard to fix it, but they inherited a real economic mess.
At a Cabinet meeting this week, President Trump hit the nail on the head. He said Democrats just throw around the word “affordability” like it means something. But when they were in charge, nobody could afford anything. That’s not just political talk — it’s the plain truth. Look at the numbers. Look at your own wallet.
Vice President Vance also said something we should all remember: voters are impatient, and they have every right to be. When you’re paying more for milk and eggs, or struggling to fill up your tank, being patient is hard. But Vance also reminded us that real change takes time. The problems Biden created didn’t appear overnight, and they won’t disappear overnight either.
Still, the Trump administration isn’t asking for patience so they can sit around and do nothing. Quite the opposite. They’re working every day to undo the damage. Cutting red tape. Boosting American energy. Lowering taxes. Bringing back jobs. These aren’t just promises — they’re actions already in motion.
But here’s the key point: Americans need to remember where these problems came from. Biden and the Democrats controlled Washington for two years. They passed massive spending bills. They attacked American oil and gas. They pushed rules that punished small businesses. And now they want to act like none of that ever happened? That’s not how truth works.
Vice President Vance said it best — the idea that this is all Trump’s fault is the real hoax. And come 2026, voters will have a chance to send a clear message. The midterm elections will decide whether Republicans can keep control of Congress and continue helping President Trump clean up the mess. Every House seat and many Senate seats will be up for grabs. If Democrats think they can fool the people again, they’re in for a surprise.
There’s no doubt things are still tough for many families. But the right people are finally back in charge. President Trump and Vice President Vance know what caused this affordability crisis, and they’re not afraid to say it. More importantly, they’re doing something about it.
So let’s stay focused. Let’s hold the right people accountable. And let’s give this administration the time and support it needs to finish the job. After all, rebuilding an economy — just like rebuilding a house — takes more than a few months. But with steady hands and strong leadership, the repair is already underway.
