Bidenflation hits home -- my home

Last week, it was reported that the average home price hit $375,300. That's a new record. This is another example of Bidenflation running rampant. Existing home prices are going up. New home prices are skyrocketing. Rent is going up, too.

Here in Minnesota, property taxes are due on May 15 and October 15 each year unless these dates land on a weekend. I went to the county website where I live to check on how much I owe this year. According to the online statement, my property's value increased 22% last year. I didn't change the house structurally or cosmetically. Despite that information, my property taxes increased by 29% from the previous year.

A loyal reader of this blog experienced a similar situation last year. This friend took his case to the St. Cloud City Council. The City Council insisted that my friend hadn't experienced a property tax increase despite the larger property tax payment. The Council's explanation was that they hadn't increased the mill rate. (Instead, they increased the property's estimated value.)

This is what Bidenflation is doing to families' quality of life. I already talked about record-high home prices. New and used car prices are going up, too. Gas prices have been going up for over a year. This is the definition of Bidenflation. Jen Psaki needs to get mercilessly ridiculed for talking about the Putin Price Hike. Check this out:

Bidenflation is the direct result of Joe Biden's policies, starting with Biden launching his war against fossil fuels. Once Biden messed up the energy policy, inflation was the inevitable result.

The other thing that's predictable is that pumping tons of Fed funny money into an already-recovering economy would create inflation throughout the economy. Sky-high demand, low interest rates and tons of loose money equals record home prices. In St. Cloud, that also includes sky-high property taxes. For people like me living on fixed incomes, property tax increases are the harshest tax.

Predictably, Joe Biden won't accept responsibility for Bidenflation. He's too pig-headed to admit he'd made a mistake to do that. Still, there's no disputing Biden's role in ruining Americans' quality of life.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
