From Fox Business: Voters voiced their concerns over the economy to former President Trump on Wednesday in hopes that he’d have answers in 2024.
During his time on “FOX & Friends,” Trump explained how he’d handle the housing market, rising prices and Social Security to voters as the state of the economy continues to weigh on Americans.
“Drill, baby, drill — we’re going to bring down the cost of energy,” Trump said in response to a question about how he would make the economy better so “kids can survive without their parents’ help.”
“I think in the history of our country, food prices are up 50%, sometimes more. You look at bacon, bacon has quadrupled. You can’t order bacon, you can’t order anything. We’re living horribly,” he continued.
Referring to his previous term in office, Trump said, “You were in great shape. You had low energy costs. You had low food costs. Everything was good. You could buy a house, you had low interest rates, 2% interest rates. You had gasoline at $1.87. Now it’s $5. And by the way, going up and going up very substantially.”
Trump also vowed that, should he be elected back to the Oval Office, he would take away taxes for senior citizens on Social Security, and would not tax tips, such as for restaurant workers.
