Things must be rougher than we are being lead to believe

[1srelluc]

In my travels yesterday I passed by one of our local high schools and traffic was lined up for almost a mile.....Summer school is in and I figured it had something to do with that and I thought no more of it.

I mentioned it to my wife this morning and she said "Oh, they were giving free food away there yesterday"......She also told me that they had a meat giveaway this past Saturday at one of our elementary schools and the place was mobbed.....Lots of complains on the local FB page because they ran out of free meat in short order.

WOW!.....Last year they had the same child food program but stopped it after four weeks due to lack of participation.....The first couple weeks they had it just for county children but then opened it up for all county residents.....Still no takers.

The median income in my solid red county is around 80K.

Things must be getting a lot rougher out there than the dems would have us believe.

Or maybe people just want free meat.

Of course they are.

19% is higher than the Carter days.

Most cities have a summer school lunch program for those kids who don't have enough to eat. I drive by one school most days and there are many parents there feeding their kids. LIberals LIE and say the economy is great (they need that for the election) but the reality is that many people are suffering.

 

[Grumpyolman]

LOL. Been going on a lot longer than Joe.

And right after an incredibly expensive pandemic.
The guy is a moron.

We do the same here in South Carolina, once a week.....the cars back way up and the free food gift boxes are handed out until they run out.
And I mean the cars back WAY up.

Um...who do think was President during that expensive pandemic?And even before that pandemic.
How much money did he print? How much money given away in the form of a sweetheart tax cut?

Again, not Joe's issue.

It must have been summer school after all!

You were always told by your government that everything was good for the working class and you believed them.

The food program my church runs is totally overwhelmed. We run out of food and have to turn people away every week.

This is Joe Biden's America.

Of course they are.

19% is higher than the Carter days.

The only thing that effectively brings down prices on most things is honest competition coupled with production increasing more than demand plus policies that favor the consumer. and consumer confidence.

Policies that raise transportation and utility and other overhead costs, artificially jack up wages, increase costs of benefits, that reward inefficiency and lessened production but not vice versa--pretty much all Biden or Democrat policies across the board--will have a negative direct or ripple effect across all of the economy.

Actually as of yesterday the cumulative effect of inflation since 2020 is 20.4% overall. But that isn't the whole story as EVERYTHING goes into the inflation numbers including things that most consumers never want, need or even know about. Lower the cost on those things and it brings the overall inflation rate down.

But many things essential to the consumers--food, rent, housing, clothing, utilities, insurance, etc.--in many cases is much more than 20.4% more costly now. Many food items are 100 to 200 or more percent higher now than they were in 2020. Pretty much all are significantly more costly than 20.4% higher.

I paid 85 cents for a loaf of store brand wheat bread in 2020. I now pay $1.89. Lettuce that was 69 cents a head in 2020 is now $1.99. Almost all animal protein has at least doubled in cost.

It will take a lot of free market capitalism with as little meddling by government as possible to bring prices down to more affordable levels without having a negative effect on the economy as a whole. Trump is our best chance for that to happen. It obviously isn't going to happen under Biden or any Democrat who replaces him.
