    Looks like it. No one who's shopped in a grocery store thinks inflation has gone down.

    It's a lot more than eggs. Everything.

    Trump practically guaranteed that if Biden were elected that there would be a massive economic depression, not that peanut butter, cat food, and hot dog buns would get more expensive.

    So if you're gonna bleat about inflation, then you should probably have a plan to deal with it.
    You libs claim to be so smart, so let's here your plan.

    I love when MAGAts do shit like this because it's always so fucking hilarious. No matter what, we can always depend on Conservatives putting their feet in their mouths.

    The Democrats' Plan is the IRA.

    What's yours?

    By increasing spending in order to stimulate the economy and ease the high out of pocket costs for health care and prescriptions for kids, seniors, and diabetics.

    So what's your plan? Oh right, you don't have a plan because you're not smart enough to come up with one.

    Do you have high out of pocket costs for health care and prescriptions? How specifically is this plan going to increase spending to stimulate the economy? (Can I also get 87,000 school security guards and educational personnel instead of 87,000 IRA workers?)

    Yes, and so do many of my elderly relatives.

    Because there's no other way to stimulate the economy.

    This is where your lack of education on economics is glaringly obvious.


    (Can I also get 87,000 school security guards and educational personnel instead of 87,000 IRA workers?)
    Why? Those security guards don't do shit and don't keep kids safe. If they did, there wouldn't be any mass shootings at schools.

    So what is your plan to tackle inflation? Oh right you don't have a plan because you're not smart enough to come up with one, and the people you follow aren't either.

    So your solution is to spend more money.

    Well since spending is how an economy grows, yes.

    What's your plan? Oh right, you don't have a plan because you're not smart enough to come up with one, and neither are any of the dumbfucks you follow and support.

    Egg prices in particular have been driven higher by one of the worst bird flu outbreaks in US history, killing more than 30 million commercial and wild birds. The crisis hurt egg-laying hens and turkeys the most. Although the outbreak has eased in the US, growers are still repopulating their flocks, which is expected to bring prices down eventually.

    Consumers have been fighting inflation by trading down to value brands, IRI said. They’ve also been shopping deals, with IRI saying 55% of ice cream was purchased with coupons in July.

    Overall, food prices are up 14% year over year through July, according to the company. The research firm compiles its insights from point-of-sale data.

    BUT BUT BUT....Biden said inflation was zero in July? He couldn't be playing semantics could he be?
