For those blaming Trump for high food prices .

So, to you, Trump was the worst POTUS for monetizing our debt?

since that isn't what I said, I'll just ignore your reply.

You called it "pumping". What did you mean by "pumping"?

It feels like you don't actually know what you're talking about and want to get away from this ASAP because you tried to insult me with my lack of knowledge and your expertise in this area. What is "pumping"?

No insult, just simple obvious fact.

Pump priming is any government expenditure taken to stimulate economic activity. This usually occurs during recessionary periods. Examples of such activity include cutting taxes or interest rates, or issuing stimulus payments to businesses and individuals. Pump priming typically increases purchasing power, which can spur spending and encourage recovery and growth.

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

Trump on the other hand is perfect.

‘Empty shelves, higher prices’: Americans tell of cost of Trump’s tariffs

US consumers say price rises caused by president’s tariffs contradict his promise to make life more affordable

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 !

Are you denying or making excuses for Heil Shitlers! campaign pledge (repeatedly stated) that HE would reduce the cost of groceries dramatically Day One.

BIDEN isn't ******* PRESIDENT.

And when he was he caused 9.1% inflation at its peak. Did you notice that?

And you're afraid that Biden is way worse than Trump but TDS won't let you say it.

But I agree that they all suck when it comes to spending but Biden, BY FAR, was the worst. And we now know that he was lining the pockets of democrat power with all that tax money.

US AID is a farce and has been for a pretty long time.

Simple fact is they both failed us.

Biden spent basically the same as Trump before him. Failure all around.

I know you hate Trump and that certainly colors your "facts" but nobody can deny this.

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

The democrats would have locked us down a lot harder from the get go and that would have hurt the economy much more.

Let's argue.

Trump was POTUS, correct.
Why are you blaming (D)?

COVID caused what happened during Biden. Tariffs are creating the problem now.
