Julian Zelizer : Inflation fatigue appears to have metastasized into anger over the country's long-standing, intractable affordability crisis.

Tackling the giant, underlying cost-of-living crisis is going to take years , if not decades, Zelizer says.

He says the White House simply does not have great tools to bring prices down, and the tools it does have could make the cost of living worse before it gets better.

Donald Trump has proposed eliminating taxes on tips and Social Security benefits.

Julian Zelizer : This sounds great, but it’s a giveaway to businesses and wealthy Americans .

Trump has also promised mass deportation, steep tariffs and increased oil and gas production.

Regardless of who is elected in November , the cost-of-living crisis will be with us for a long while.
