The House Ways and Means Democrats, among others, decided to play PR spin doctor this Black Friday, claiming online spending records were a clear sign of economic strength. Their pièce de résistance? A now-deleted social media post on X mocking Americans who’ve been struggling to afford essentials like eggs.
“And here we were thinking y’all couldn’t afford eggs” they chortled, conveniently ignoring that most Americans funded the record-breaking $10.8 billion in online purchases on Black Friday with credit cards, not disposable income. Yes, even weeks after they lost the presidential election in a very BIGLY way to Donald J. Trump, the leftists are still CLUELESS about how it happened.
It’s a bold move to celebrate spending when WalletHub predicts a $20 billion jump in credit card debt when their new numbers are released on Friday. But who cares about debt when you can reframe desperation as prosperity?
Black Friday or Credit Card Debt Day?
According to USA Today and NPR, Black Friday online sales hit a record $10.8 billion, and Cyber Monday brought in even more online money to businesses. But here’s the kicker: This isn’t a sign of financial health; it’s a testament to Americans turning to high-interest plastic to keep up appearances during the holiday season – which happens every year.
Mastercard’s cheerful report of a 3.4% increase in sales neglects to mention the elephant in the room – ballooning credit card balances. Gen Z, in particular, is drowning in debt while Democrats are laughing at their memes about egg prices. Perhaps House Democrats should start a “Ways and Means to Make Minimum Payments” subcommittee.
Eggs – a delicate topic for the delicate economy.
Let’s talk about the humble egg, a symbol of inflation’s relentless grip. Democrats, apparently, think the fact that egg prices have come down a whopping 8% in a week makes everything fine. But a $5.21 price tag in California doesn’t scream “economic stability.” Maybe they think mocking Americans for their struggles is good optics. Spoiler: It’s not.
The “Bidenomics is working” crowd of gaslighters loves to cherry-pick numbers all the while ignoring that people are essentially buying groceries on the layaway plan.
The debt-fueled holiday hangover.
While Black Friday headlines tout “record sales,” the reality is more somber. Americans are spending more on necessities and using buy-now-pay-later schemes to stretch their budgets. Cyber Monday’s approximate $12 billion haul didn’t come from stuffed wallets; it came from maxed-out credit cards – and the Democrats’ social media gaffe perfectly encapsulates their clueless approach to working- class struggles.
Here’s the reality: economic recovery doesn’t come from maxed-out credit cards and smug social media posts – it comes from policies that put Americans first. Under Trump’s MAGA agenda come 2025, real prosperity will mean lower inflation, higher wages, and full pantries – not just cherry-picked numbers to spin a failing narrative. The Democrats can toast their holiday debt binge now, but in 2025, Trump will be back to clean up their mess and deliver the real economic recovery Americans deserve.
