Title: The Trump Drug Rebate Rule Would Have Saved Seniors Billions; Biden Repealed It and Gave Billions to China EVs

Article Snip: "...What can’t be denied is that his administration, whether he’s actually in charge of it or not, is abusing American seniors just trying to get their medicine. The cure – as for many of the world’s problems – is to go back to what Donald Trump had already been doing. This year, premiums are up more than 20 percent for the more than 50 million Americans enrolled in Medicare Part D. In 2025, it’s estimated that premiums could go up another 50 percent! What could actually lower healthcare costs for seniors is if the federal government brings back the Trump Rebate Rule.

The Numbers Don’t Lie: Americans’ Purchasing Power Is Down Under Biden

Title: The Numbers Don’t Lie: Americans’ Purchasing Power Is Down Under Biden

Article Snip: "...Since taking office in January 2021, the cumulative rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index, a figure calculated by the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), stands at 19.4 percent. On the other side of the equation, the increase in average weekly earnings, also calculated by BLS, stands at 14.1 percent. In other words, since Biden entered the Oval Office, real wages are down about 5 percent. Such is why the number one concern among Americans heading into election season is the high cost of living. According to Gallup, the vast majority of likely voters cite the “economy in general” and the “high cost of living/inflation” as the “most important problem facing the country today.”..."
