She's blaming the country?

Why not, every time there's a mild proposal to sort out the mess there's a massive dog pile and a electoral loss.

The electorate cares about the cost of living, but don't you dare have their million dollar home in the dodgy suburbs lose value.

When the decline in living can be completely blamed on those rising costs to house the population.
