Experts say high food prices are here to stay. Here’s why.

The same people who harvested the crops before Biden's open borders.

So, illegals. You realize there were millions of illegals here during the Trump administration that he never deported. Right?

Food inflation is about input costs..........like labor.

Food prices are governed by the LAW of "supply and demand".

"open borders" means millions more people getting free food, so the rest of us pay more.

They could have been legal. Point being that we functioned well before Biden's "open borders".

Do you think people write checks for illegal drugs, or put it on their credit cards? And do you think those "Benjamin's" remain in the general economy?

Inflation has steadily cooled over the past two years, despite seeing a slight stall in October and November. Prices for items such as gasoline, used cars and energy have all declined accordingly. However, food prices continue to outpace inflation, increasing by 28% since 2019.

More than 85% of consumers report feeling frustrated with rising grocery prices, and over a third say they have resorted to buying fewer items to save money, according to a 2024 survey by RR Donnelley.

However, experts say high food prices are here to stay.

“Once food price goes up, it tends to stay up,” said Claudia Sahm, a chief economist at New Century Advisors. “The inflation may come back down, so you don’t see the big price increases. But outside of widespread depression, we don’t tend to see prices falling across the board.”

Experts are also skeptical of whether policy intervention can affect food prices.

“There’s really nothing government policymakers could do about this,” said Jason Miller, a professor of supply chain management at Michigan State University.

It is my contention, based on exit polls, that Dotard would not have been re-elected if not for Biden/Harris being successfully, and erroneously, blamed for inflation. Especially food inflation.

Should history hold true, and these economic experts prove correct, I can't help wondering how many millions of sincere but misinformed voters will regret their vote.

LOL, the same experts said we'd be paying $15 for a can of soup over TRUMP's steel/aluminum tariffs...

he's right, it's very hard to get them back down....and we have Xiden, Harris and the Demafacsit policies of the past four years to blame for the prices going up so high.

We must never forget that.

They could have been legal. Point being that we functioned well before Biden's "open borders".

There were about 10 million illegal aliens in the country during the Trump administration.

If things were functioning well with them in the country, hold on to your butts because Trump campaigned on deporting all of them. Things tend to stop working well when millions of the people who made them work well are deported.

 

[BrokeLoser]

After a few million illegals get deported

A few million won’t matter, it won’t put the tiniest of dent in the problem…we need 30 million gone ASAP.

“There’s no doubt that tariffs will massively make things more expensive, especially food,” said Rakeen Mabud, chief economist at Groundwork Collaborative, a progressive advocacy group. “Same thing with mass deportations. We have workers in this country who really prop up our food system and when you start to really harm that workforce and send them away, that harms our entire economy.”

“There’s no doubt that tariffs will massively make things more expensive, especially food,”

Massively? DURR. Maybe we won't tariff food.

 

[postman]

Here in the United States ... Congress is solely responsible for spending tax-payer dollars ... let's see how well Republicans can balance the budget ... now's their chance to show us how easy it is ... [taps toe] ... we're waiting ...

The house is supposed to generate about 12 spending bills. One for each government category.

But all they've done are continuing resolutions

There are 12 annual appropriation bills (assigned to each of 12 House Committees with oversight over a particular component of the federal budget). Often, these bills are combined into omnibus bills, and continuing resolutions to extend the time to enact a budget

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

What you didn't calculate is, with a few million illegals deported, who is going to harvest the crops that have to be selectively harvested.

Such as : All tender fruit, cabbage, broccoli, melons, Artichokes, Peppers, Table grapes, Pumpkins, Lettuce

What you didn't calculate is, with a few million illegals deported, who is going to harvest the crops that have to be selectively harvested.

We'll keep the ones who harvest crops. The other 30 million have to go.

Here's why: there are no plans to suck back out of circulation the $3-$5 trillion that the Xiden junta foolishly printed up.

Mods please close the thread here

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Before Biden took over, Trump was running up $3 trillion deficits

Biden never came near those levels.

Because Covid, right?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Before Biden took over, Trump was running up $3 trillion deficits

Biden never came near those levels.

Trump had a massive recession, added $7.8 trillion to the debt.
Biden had no recession, added $8.3 trillion to the debt.

This is the reason why.

Stupid shit Dem policies that's why. I see you morons are still waging war on fossil fuels, a key cost of growing, transporting and preserving food. HELLO earth to stupid shit Democrats, pull your heads out of your ass you morons.

Correct.

Blaming President Biden for high costs was as dishonest as it was ignorant.

 

[initforme]

Farmers will have to pay american workers triple the wage for the same exact work. It's a great thing.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Correct.

Blaming President Biden for high costs was as dishonest as it was ignorant.

Exactly. It was Obama pulling Biden's strings who is to blame.

Not one.

Misery loves company, and nobody is more miserable than a leftist.
