He lies as he breaths. Inflation has not been “solved,” and prices are up. And btw - People aren’t talking as much about affordability right now because there are heavily-armed, masked federal agents lawlessly roaming America’s streets assaulting & killing people.

ICE has an acronym for when they detain US citizens, which, of course, should not be happening.
They call them "USCs" — US citizens in custody.
And after Pretti was shot, they grabbed a bunch of USCs, held them in custody, not for any investigative purpose.
