Wednesday News Round Up – RFK Jr. Slams Biden Administration’s Economic Policies
“Inflation is the most pernicious and insidious regressive tax on the poor.” – RFK Jr.
Today’s leading RFK Jr. news:
“Kennedy believes that both inflation and rate hikes are mere stopgaps for a more significant issue. ‘The long-term issue is spending, because inflation and high interest rates are just medicine and they both are poisonous medicines,’ he argued.” – ’The most pernicious and insidious regressive tax on the poor’: RFK Jr. slams the Fed, calls inflation and rate hikes ‘poisonous medicines.’ But he says there’s an even bigger problem | Moneywise.
The DNC-aligned legacy media claims that the economy is improving. Clearly, that is not the case for middle-class Americans, as this article points out: “In short, prices have increased by 17.3%, while real wages have declined by 2.0%, meaning Americans have taken a 2.0% pay cut under the current administration. To put it differently, people now need 19.3% more income than they had in January 2021 to maintain their living standards. According to some estimates, Americans need an extra $11,400 a year to make ends meet.” – Bidenflation Peaks At 17.3%, Hurting Americans | Tipp Insights.

Is the Democratic Party falling apart?
Matthew Karp writes, “The Democratic electorate today looks almost nothing like the coalition that carried the party through the New Deal. In 1944, when Roosevelt presented his famous Economic Bill of Rights, he won about two-thirds of the country’s manual workers. Today, less than 30 percent of manual workers identify as Democrats.” – What Happened to the Democratic Majority? | The Nation.

WOW, on the Red Cross blood donor thing! I see the screen shot but seriously, its real??
Kennedy does not seem to be competing nearly as well in swing state races in recent polls over the past month compared to how he did in the polls from late last fall that are often quoted in this Substack. He's generally in middle single digits. One of the best recent numbers was 13% from New York State of all places. He also had a 16% showing in a Marquette poll about the Wisconsin general election. Marquette is generally well regarded, which makes me wonder about the quality of some of the other recent state level polls. Most of them were Emerson. I was just scrolling through the real clear politics averages for a number of swing states, and they are no longer including the swing state poll numbers from before the start of the year in their averages. Their analysts have clearly decided that those polls were outliers. This concerns me.
