So we thought, well, let's just look at some of the numbers and figure out where we were and where we are now. Start with your primary residence, whether you're renting your house or owning your home. You're up 20% since Biden took office. That's like a mortgage payment that goes up $700 a month, Ashley. So we're talking real money there. Now you've got any money left over to eat away. Your costs to go eat out are 21%. I took the family out for lunch this weekend. I had to try to figure out which kid ordered caviar, Ashley, because I was like, how did Bill get so high? Food at home is not much better. It's up 21% as well. So whether you're out or at home, you're paying a lot. Now, let's say you want to make yourself a chicken sandwich, Ashley. Your chicken costs are up 21%, actually 26%, sorry, it's even worse than that since Biden took office. If you want some bread, your bread costs are up 30% since Biden took office, and that probably is the kind of food you're eating, Ashley. But for those of us with a sweet tooth, let's talk sugar and butter. Sugar costs up 44%, butter up 27%. I know you're probably cutting down on that, but some of us aren't, and it makes life less fun when you got to pay so much for that. So here's the point, Ashley, you've got a president who can't seem to convince people that things have gotten better, even though he thinks the data's on his side. But when you really look at the data, you get why people say life is just so unaffordable and they don't have confidence in what the president's doing on the economy right now.
