For those blaming Trump for high food prices .

[yidnar]

Many on the left are blaming Trump for the high prices for groceries they are paying today ..but what they seem to forget is that the current prices we pay for food coincides with the prices we paid when the cost of living [including food skyrocketed under the Biden admin] ! In all actuality the overall prices for groceries haven't increased that much during the Trump admin ! now we all know that the prices for beef has risen due to uncontrollable things like drought affecting feed crops causing ranchers to cut back on their herds and the price of chicken has risen do to higher demand because people are turning to cheaper protein sources due to higher beef prices .. can Trump lower the prices we pay for food with his cheaper energy agenda ? don't know ... will meat prices return to lower prices if the high cost of feed lowers if the drought lessons ? dont know .. but if you look at the graph in the link people are paying around the same to feed their families as they paid in 2024 .. so if your angry about the high prices at the grocery stores ,blame the previous admin .. selecting the 10 yr range in upper right corner of the graph in the link proves that FACT !

The high prices have a lot to do with the massive pumping under Obama and Trump.

A few were noting that inflation was inevitable but dang, people sure loved those low interest rates.

Now you pay for it.

 

[Mr Natural]

Biden’s responsible for everything bad that’s happening.

Trump on the other hand is perfect.

The most massive pumping came under the Dementia Patient. He had two years of 7% inflation. Where were you?

what does the graph say ? I'll answer it for you .. prices for food skyrocketed over 20 % under Biden .. said prices were stable and much much lower during Trumps 1 st admin and are relatively stable in his second admin.. you know darn good and well groceries went through the roof under Biden ! so please think about your fellow citizens struggling to feed their families before you pull the lever for Dems in the next election ..

Trump ain't perfect but he ain't responsible for Bidens hike in food prices ..

 

[Mr Natural]

Trump ain't perfect but he ain't responsible for Bidens hike in food prices ..

And He sure as hell isn’t doing anything about it with His ridiculous tariffs.

The pumping stopped under Biden.

the tariffs haven't effected food prices .. once again we are paying the same to feed ourselves as we were during Bidens last yr in office ..

and we had a couple of yrs of inflation at or near 4 % under Biden to add to it ! making it an over 20 % hit !

That's quite a deal you have going. Holding down the prices just for you.

I was too busy taking science courses.

We know for certain that the inflation POTUS, by far, was Joseph Dementia Biden.

Like my post above - the Democrats think we are as hive minded as they are. That we will dismiss reality as easily as they do.
5 years ago my wife and I averaged between $120-$150 a week at the grocery store.
Now - $160-$180 a week.
And we don't really eat all that differently, or buy much of anything different.
DEMOCRATS - scream because in Feb. 25 they may have averaged $125/week. And now average $130/week.
But said nothing about averaging $70/week in 2021... and $125/week in 2024.
