Jesse Kelly on How Congress is Ignoring the American Citizen – “Americans Can’t Afford Things Anymore, and They Remember What it Was Like to Afford Things” (VIDEO)

Jesse Kelly talked about how the average American is struggling financially during a recent episode of his show “The First.”

Kelly explained that Congress and others in DC are ignoring the plight of those struggling while focusing on obscure things like stock market performance, and that those in Washington DC are out of touch with the real struggles of the American people.

He went on to explain that people can’t afford basic things like groceries and cars, let alone home ownership.

“I live in Texas. I hang around normal people. It’s who I talk to. My private life. It’s what I do. People in Washington DC do not understand this very, very simple concept, and this is why I scream about it all the time,” Kelly said.

“Americans can’t afford things anymore, and they remember what it was like to afford things,” Kelly explained.

“Since January of 2021, that’s five years ago, cumulative inflation is between 23 and 25 percent. Also, wages have been flat,” Kelly said.

“When you look at your economy, and you press stop and then print seven trillion dollars, that’s gonna happen,” Kelly continued.

“The truth is that five years ago, you could afford more things than you can now. The American people, they go to the grocery store, and they are upset because they can’t afford things,” Kelly said.

“They can’t afford shoes, they can’t afford cars, they can’t afford gas,” Kelly continued.

“We have people suffering economically in this country. The job market is absolute crap,” Kelly said.

Kelly explained that the American people need to hear from our elected officials on a constant basis that they want to solve this problem to the best of their ability.

“I’ve stressed it over and over and over and over again. People need to think that you are on this problem. Even if you can’t solve this problem, and I believe that we can solve some of these problems,” Kelly said of DC politicians.

“The people need to hear from our elected leaders day after day after day after day that they are trying to solve this problem,” Kelly continued.

Kelly also talked about home-selling and home-buying statistics. The homes on the market are not affordable to many people, creating a gap in the market.

“Home sellers now outnumber buyers by 630,000. The largest gap ever recorded. People are trying to sell their homes. People can’t afford to buy homes,” Kelly explained.
