President Biden's term has seemed to struggle on various fronts, but it appears that the economy remains a prominent stumbling block. Real wages have shown a downwards trend under the current administration, creating a signature increase in poverty. Recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau supports these observations, pointing to a notable increase in poverty levels nationwide.

Their report released recently underlined a concerning development. The percentage of Americans living below the poverty line in 2022 had shot up to 12.4 percent, a significant jump compared to 7.8 percent reported in 2021. This trend is concerning and suggests an environment where too many citizens are struggling to make ends meet.

It's key to note that the Democrat party was at the helm of both congressional chambers and the presidency during President Biden’s initial two years of leadership. Indeed, the political stage was set for significant legislations, culminating in sizable spending bills. A number of economists, adept at reading the signs, strongly warned that such financial routes would inevitably lead to inflation.

Unfortunately, these inflationary upheavals continue, unabated, to the current day. The impact isn't merely academic or confined to the financial world; it has seeped into daily life. Millions of American families feel this pinch, adjusting their lifestyles by cutting expenses or resorting to cheaper alternatives. Some have even had to seek financial aid from relatives for basic monthly bills.

Compounding matters is a resurgence in gas prices and consistently high food costs. The resulting impact is starkly reflected in the rising credit card debt across the nation. From the first to the second quarter of 2023 alone, the debt burden jumped a whopping $45 billion, per data reported by Bankrate.com.
