The economic chickens are finally coming home to roost. Consumer confidence has crashed to its lowest point since 2014, revealing the full scope of the economic disaster left behind by the Biden regime's four-year assault on American prosperity.

While the mainstream media spent years gaslighting Americans about "Bidenomics" and fabricated recovery stories, real families were getting crushed by inflation, sky-high interest rates, and policies that prioritized illegal immigrants and green energy fantasies over hardworking Americans.

Now the truth is undeniable: Americans are more pessimistic about both current economic conditions and the future outlook than they've been in over a decade. That's the Biden legacy – economic devastation that will take years to repair.

The Price of Woke Economics

This confidence collapse isn't happening in a vacuum. It's the inevitable result of an administration that waged war on American energy, printed money like confetti, and prioritized DEI initiatives over economic growth. While Biden and his cronies celebrated fictional job numbers, real Americans watched their purchasing power evaporate and their dreams defer.

The timing is particularly telling. Just as President Trump begins his second term with a mandate to restore American prosperity, we're seeing the full scope of the mess he's inheriting. This isn't Trump's economy yet – this is the final report card on four years of radical Democrat control.

"The American people aren't buying the lies anymore. They know exactly who created this economic disaster, and they voted accordingly in November."

President Trump and his economic team, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, now face the monumental task of rebuilding confidence in an economy systematically destroyed by leftist policies. The good news? They've done it before.

With America First trade policies, energy dominance, and the elimination of job-killing regulations on the horizon, this confidence crater may represent the bottom before a historic comeback. But let's be clear about who drove us into this ditch – and who's going to pull us out.

What's the current consumer confidence index compared to where it was in 2019? Would love to see those numbers side by side.

It's dropped about 30 points from the Trump years. Absolutely devastating decline.

The inflation numbers don't lie, even though this administration keeps trying to spin them. People are hurting out here!

This is what happens when you elect a career politician who's never run a business in his life.

When will the mainstream media start covering this honestly instead of making excuses?

Finally someone is reporting the TRUTH about what's happening to our economy! My grocery bill has doubled since Biden took office and gas prices are still crushing working families.

Same here! Had to cancel our family vacation this year because everything costs so much more.

As someone who owns a construction company, I can tell you firsthand that material costs and labor shortages are killing us. My customers are backing out of projects left and right because they can't afford it anymore.

Hang in there, friend. Hopefully we can turn this around in 2024.
