The #BidenInflation surge, in various economic stats & market prices, #bidenomics are pushing the debt to the brink. Now, as supply chain slowdowns and cost increases take hold, a "Dark Winter" and "Biden Blue Christmas" lie ahead thanks to his reckless spending and borrowing.

Market Prices: We'll use Cotton as an example, but keep in mind similar, if not larger cost increases are affecting everything from Coffee to Lumber.


Cotton is up 51% since the Nov 2020 election, as Commodities from Coffee to Crude vault higher amidst the Biden Inflation Spike, punishing Consumers


Energy Price Increases
