Gas of course comes from the oil that Dems don\u2019t want drilled, but oil and natural-gas products are also key to making fertilizer; price hikes there eventually show up at the grocery story.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: Real working-class wages have been sinking for almost Joe Biden\u2019s entire presidency, as inflation ate up nominal pay hikes.<\/p>\n<p>And, again, inflation started taking off in early 2021 when Democrats rushed to push through Biden\u2019s American Rescue Plan, which dumped $1.9 trillion in \u201cstimulus\u201d on an economy that was already recovering.<\/p>\n<p>And voters see the truth every time they hit the grocery store or the gas pump.
