Billboard: JCN Calls Out Democratic Economic Spin Ahead of Debate

Prices Rise Even as the Inflation Rate Falls

Washington, D.C. (September 10, 2024)—To coincide with Tuesday’s debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the Job Creators Network (JCN) is putting up a rotating billboard in Times Square pointing out the economic realities of the current administration. The high-profile ads dismantle campaign spin from the Democrats by showing how consumer prices are still rising even as the inflation rate falls.

More specifically, the billboard features how the prices of electricity, ground beef, and rent have skyrocketed since January 2021—plotting actual prices alongside the inflation rate on the same graph. The ads refer to the difference as “Kamala’s Misery Gap.” See the rotating billboard creative below:

Alfredo Ortiz, Job Creators Network CEO, released the following statement:

“The Democrats are attempting to hoodwink the American people into believing that consumer prices are falling by pointing to the moderating inflation rate. But anyone who goes to a grocery store anecdotally knows this is not the case. Our rotating billboard in Times Square features the real economic data behind the sentiment, visually charting how prices of everything from electricity to food are up big time under the current Biden-Harris administration. It should be difficult for Kamala Harris to explain her way out of this one.”
