It\u2019s not something conservatives are afraid to say, but it\u2019s also not our main talking point. For instance, I also care about well-budgeted initiatives that actually improve the lives of Americans. Unfortunately, thanks to the Biden administration\u2019s obsession with so-called \u201cenvironmental justice,\u201d inflation is only getting worse and driving the cost of utilities so high that families can no longer afford the recycling services leftists insist are good for the environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My family loves the land. We have a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, and a composter, and we work to limit the amount of single-use plastic products in our home. I\u2019ve been hunting and laid down a deer before. There is no cleaner meat than that. I\u2019m a firm believer that self-sufficiency is one of the healthiest forms of living.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I used to drive a Yaris and shop at Trader Joe\u2019s, but that was before I became a mother of four. During the nearly two years of the Biden administration\u2019s reign, the cost of living in my area has skyrocketed to the point that cutting back is necessary for survival.<\/p>\n<p>But many families have already done so. We\u2019re way beyond just sticking to the basics; we\u2019re being pinched to the breaking point. In September of this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/press\/heritage-expert-americans-have-lost-4200-annual-income-under-the-biden-administration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Heritage Foundation<\/a> found that Americans have lost an average of $4,200 in annual income thanks to the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>While inflation continues destroying lives, Biden continues to ridiculously insist that our economy is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/16\/joe-biden-insists-us-economy-is-strong-as-hell-as-he-munches-an-ice-cream-cone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strong as hell<\/a>.\u201d Meanwhile, those of us who have always maintained strict budgets are cutting back more and more, but there isn\u2019t much left to reduce.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the cost of gas, groceries, clothes, water, heating and cooling, and other necessities continued to climb, I was struck by a massive change in my family\u2019s waste bill. I expected it to go up due to the gas crisis created by the Biden administration\u2019s energy mismanagement, but it doubled over the course of a few months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At first, I thought this was a mistake. My husband and I had already changed trash services to a cheaper option, but it was by no means inexpensive. And we bundled the usual waste and recycling together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the inflation rate is currently recorded at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usinflationcalculator.com\/inflation\/current-inflation-rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">just over 8 percent<\/a>, our bill increased by 100 percent. In double-checking the breakdown, half of the new bill was due to environmental fees.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the Inflation Reduction Act was advertised as a form of benevolent relief to the American people, it was filled with social justice initiatives driven by left-wing party preferences and green theories, which have yet to prove helpful to anyone but the bureaucrats collecting more and more tax money, or \u201cfees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One such section was vaguely detailed back in August through a White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/08\/17\/fact-sheet-inflation-reduction-act-advances-environmental-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fact sh<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/08\/17\/fact-sheet-inflation-reduction-act-advances-environmental-justice\/\">eet<\/a> about how the Inflation Reduction Act helps advance \u201cenvironmental justice.\u201d Under the section regarding improving clean transit technologies, the administration noted that \u201caddressing diesel emissions\u201d is a priority.
