New poll results show 53 percent of those surveyed couldn’t recall struggling harder to make ends meet

A majority of Americans now say the cost of living is the worst they can remember — and most of them blame President Donald Trump for their predicament.

Poll results published Friday by Politico showed 53 percent of those surveyed couldn’t recall struggling harder to make ends meet, up from 46 percent in November.

The poll by Public First also found 46 percent felt Trump was fully or mostly responsible for the state of the economy, unchanged from six months ago.

    Yes, I know the numbers look bad, but look on the bright side…

    In exchange for those higher prices, we also lost the rule of law, the climate, any remaining functional elements in our economy, even token lip-service to the idea of human dignity, and the illusion that America understood ANY of the ideals it spent half a century espousing.
