Donald Trump refused to move an inch on lowering health care costs… and spent the shutdown snatching food benefits away from families instead.
He does not care about rising prices. He only wants to make them worse.

Oh man, where do you begin to fact check Vance?
There's no problem Vance won't blame on immigrants, even if he has to invent the problem himself.
A few weeks ago he was insisting immigrants lived in cramped squalor and their (white) neighbors had a right to be upset about that.
Now they're so rich they're snatching up all the good houses? OK.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."
