You've got the housing issue, which we're tackling through deregulation, but also by getting the 20 million illegal aliens out.
My front stat there, it's really extraordinary, Steve.
One million illegals is 1% increase in housing costs for the American people.
20 million is a 20% increase just from illegal immigration.
So as they're stealing our jobs and driving down our wages, they're driving up our rents, housing costs, and even interest rates.
And it's worse than that because that's a national average, but they cluster in blue states,
like Chicago and New York.
You get this paradox where the Democrats, through open border policies, increase rents in New York and Chicago, and then people like Mamdami run on rents that are too high and somehow promise they're going to deliver us from that evil.
It's insane.
We're tackling that.
We've obviously already handled the energy
But having said that, there's pesky little things like the fact that we don't build refineries anymore, particularly in places like California.
We've got to ultimately do that to prevent problems there.
We're dealing with electricity costs going up, and there's going to be some action taken on the role of these data centers and how they contribute too much to that.
If you look at, for example, the food, we got egg prices down.
If you look at this great print, Steve, today's print, there's a nice little thing in there about eggs.
Eggs that keep going down.
That's a beautiful thing.
And then the health care issue.
We've really got to tackle that in a way.
