There's a good news and there's a bad news.

The good news there is that compared to last year, you were $1,200 richer than you were.

The bad news is that compared to four or five years ago, you're about $2,800, or I guess $1,800 poorer than you were.

So we recognize there's still a lot of work to do.

I don't think that there's anything to do, Megan, other than to do the work.

We continue to have

a lot of capital coming into the country.

That means higher wages, more jobs for the American people.

We continue to see grocery prices, I think, starting to come down a little bit.

There are a couple of categories.

We really worry about beef in particular that we're working very hard to bring down, not for the midterms, but just because we want the American people to buy some ground beef and to buy some steak, if they so choose.

You know, there are things like cars and houses where we're seeing some real progress.

Rents have now declined five months in a row.

That's a big thing that's happening.

So it's one of these things where I don't think you're going to be able to trick the American people.

They know they got $3,000 poor during the Biden administration.

I think they're going to judge us by how much we've made them wealthier.

And I think that come November, the verdict there is going to be positive.

But we just have to keep working on it.

There is.
