Historical Gas Prices and Inflation Rates

Border Policy: A Significant Improvement

Energy Policy:  The Shift

Affordability is usually framed around gas prices, groceries, and housing costs. Steve Yates argues that voters should ask a different question: can America afford to reverse the policies shaping border security, energy production, technology investment, and cooperation across the Western Hemisphere? Looking at inflation, fuel prices, migration trends, and industrial growth, he compares recent history with today's policy choices and examines what those choices could mean for families and businesses.

Listen now and decide whether affordability should be measured by today's prices alone or by the long-term costs of changing course.
