$2.0 trillion dollar deficit
we lost the battle as classic economists years ago.
Is debt as a percentage of GDP growing? Is the economy growing? Are real age is growing? These are the questions that matter now, fortunately or unfortunately...

Grocery prices were high already.
The health-care cost is soley on the Dems.
The economy is doing better.
Job growth will be much improved in the near future.

A government can wreck an economy in months, but fixing it takes years. Unfortunately, we never give any policy that kind of time. Election cycles and voter mood swings guarantee that whatever starts under one administration gets reversed by the next.
So even if Trump’s policies work, we’ll only ever see the opening act before he loses the House, gets buried in investigations, and the media cycle takes over. Then a Democrat wins, reverses everything by executive order, gets two years before Congress flips, and nothing sticks. Rinse and repeat.
At this point it barely matters who’s right. We are not running economic policy, we’re running a loop.

another dumbarse statement. We are collecting over 30 billion monthly.....and inflation is decreasing.......because foreign companies are discounting their goods so their importers can pay the tariffs.....this has been repeated by several foreign companies in their quarterly reports.

These numbers mean nothing when you are running a $2.0 trillion dollar deficit
Is that from the CBO numbers that based the deficit on an underperforming economy? What is the revised estimate factoring in the GDP growth?
When the BBB was passed, many people pointed out how the tax breaks marked down as expenses and poor forecasting misrepresented the actual cost of the bill. Now that we know that is without a doubt true due to the GDP, it doesn't make sense to keep running with an inaccurate number.

According to Pew Research and BLS own surveys, over 1.2 million foreign workers in the US have lost jobs.
You have to rethink the way you look at job growth while the surge of deportations occurs.
Remember those millions of illegals with bogus SS#, they were/are in the workforce. As they are removed it will hurt overall job numbers.
Which means when they were added and we still had little growth during biden.......Americans were losing millions of jobs.

high groceries prices
They’re insanely expensive. Much cheaper to eat out these days than it is to eat at home.
It's just me and the wife at home now and we spend around $700-800/month on groceries. We eat out approximately 4-5 times/month which costs roughly $300/month.......let's take a look at your assertion.
We spend $700-800 for 25 days of meals which is around $30 dollars/day for two people plus $300 for eating out = approximately $1000/month.
Eating out every day.... we would spend well over $1500-2000/month.
Much cheaper to prepare your own meals and in reality if we ate all of our leftovers and didn't eat out at all we could easily get by on $700-800/month for food.
