Thanks a lot, Matt Walsh! He did a video wondering why burritos cost $20 and voila! Instant viral issue! Affordability has been an issue going back to the Biden Administration, but now even some conservatives are starting to get a little impatient with high gas prices and stubborn inflation. But Mike dug a little deeper, and it turns out that if you order a burrito on Door Dash and include the delivery fee and tip, then of course a burrito is twenty bucks! But with less than ninety days to perhaps the most consequential midterm election in our lifetimes, should we focus on the cultural, dad advice part of affordability, where we tell people to make good lifestyle choices and live within their means? Or do we focus on the political angle and do what's needed to retain control of Congress in November? Breitbart News Economic Editor is here to analyze the affordability issue and some good news that the lamestream media would prefer you not to know.
