Americans are going into debt to pay for food.
Grocery prices are Americans' top affordability challenge: Report
@big-ryan they’re choosing between food and meds. And this started in 2019 and is a product of nothing more than government. Bad governance. And people should remember it. Less gov. Less gov control. Biden bullshit. Trump bullshit. Gov did this to us.

I appreciate your posts and concern for Americans. It allows us to educate liberals on how to make it better. It's not surprising after Covid and Biden policies. If you want to make it worse, vote for sh#t libs. If want it to improve vote for the GOP. Have a great Friday, Butch.
@snarlcakes that we still hear from AOC Harris stay at home Pete after what they did to this country is an absolute embarrassment. Dems are an embarrassment at this point.
Suck it up buttercup.
Minimum wages up in every large metro area.
Utility costs way up because of the renewable scam.
Property taxes up because of outrageous regulation and costs imposed on new construction.
Borrowing costs way up because of outrageous federal borrowing.
The cost of keeping food frozen or refrigerated up because of skilled labor shortages. + utility costs.*
Energy costs up because of Middle East turmoil and years of repressed domestic production.
The reasons for high food costs are many. The money for all these cost increases doesn’t grow on trees. The money comes from your wages and you pay for these costs with every can of tomato soup you buy.
get used to it.
* When I was a kid, most of what we ate came from a can. Now most food is refrigerated, frozen, or flown in fresh daily. That ain’t cheap.
1. Listening to Harris and AOC is like nails on a chalk board. Similarly embarrassing to Trump. But all embarrassing.
2. Pete isn't embarrassing to listen to. He is very smart, and articulates very well, complex issues in a way most can understand. His problem is applying that vast knowledge, and experience, in to actual leading and governing. As his record in that regard is iffy, at best.
3. Having said all that... the affordability issues still on the Dems? Why aren't the current GOP leaders working to fix it, if so?
@co-hoosier Current admin and leadership is GOP, so everyone should "suck it up". Tracks.
@iunorth Pete is a POS. Worthless woke talker. Trump hasn’t fixed any of it. Only made it worse.

Scroll up. Click the tweet and read it. Or just look at the graph. It has improved under the current administration.
Yes, suck it up. The reasons for increasing costs are deeply rooted in the economy and also in consumer preferences. National politics doesn’t have much to do with it.
@snarlcakes what does that little rat face Pete even do now? Just talk? He’s young. Go Fing work. He doesn’t want to. He didn’t work when he was in office. He’s one of these do nothings looking for a gov gig where people pay him to just talk. I’ve never hated a politician more.
@co-hoosier As I said... that tracks for you. Biden's response after Covid wasn't much of a factor either then!
2. Pete isn't embarrassing to listen to.
He may not be embarrassing, but he is unmatched in his ability to use so many words to say nothing.
He is very intellectual but by no means smart.
@co-hoosier national politics has everything to do with it
bidens Woke handlers caused it. They locked us down then sent us checks extended unemployment froze our bills stayed foreclosures and evictions converted child tax credits to monthly checks and made everyone kings. So they bought like lunatics without paying any bills and we saw historic inflation spikes that are built in.
then trump came in instituted tariffs and started a war.
these cost increases Fing us are solely the result of national politics. We didn’t have to lockdown. We didn’t have to hand out free cheese we didn’t need tariffs we didn’t need an ongoing war.
whenever anything is bad look to Gov. the more Gov does the worse things will be. The less. The better. That’s why socialism is THE worst case scenario
