America, "have fun" paying more for your food

The price of commodities goes up and down. You act like eggs were never before expensive, or for that matter other food items. Biden's administration was largely responsible for the current price increase and you act as though that didn't occur and it's Trump's fault having been in office a few weeks.

He also ignores chicken culling and ignores that egg prices increasing during this time of year is normal. Lefties love to lie by omission (they love lying in general, but lying by omission is a favored tactic). Give it another 2-3 months at most and egg prices will be lower again. They won't give Trump any credit for it either.

We know the cause. The issue is that trump targeted people like yourself when he lied about bringing prices down.

You're delusional. Let's see where prices are in 6 months, then we can start talking about what Trump did or didn't do.

The major thing we need to do is get health insurance out of paying for routine medical care. That will bring the costs down because the market will force it.

Do you mean nixing "expanded Medicaid" under Obamacare? That one is on Obama for setting up that program for failure. Expanded Medicare was rolled out where the feds were paying like 80%+ of the initial cost of the expansion with the states picking up the rest of the tab. Over a 10 year period that was supposed to see the feds drop their support gradually with the states picking up most or all of the tab. Some blue states took the bait and are now facing tens of billions in Medicaid payments on their tab. Most red states wouldn't foot the bill and now that the federal payments are ending, they are dropping people who got the expanded coverage on the federal dime.

Obama thought the states, like heron junkies would get addicted to expanded Medicaid and just raise taxes or whatever to pay for it once hooked. Democrat led states fell hook, line, and sinker for that. Republican led states saw through the charade and wouldn't cover the bill. Now, the chickens have come home to roost on that.

Of course, on the Left (you) there is wailing and gnashing of teeth over how awful it is that most states are dumping the expanded Medicaid program--along with Trump refusing to extend federal payment for it--and people that were on that program are seeing their Medicaid coverage dropped. Seems to me this shit is Obama's fault for trying to pull a bait and switch.

I wouldn't call it "lying." That requires actively knowing you're doing it. The Left lives in a delusional, alternate reality where money grows on trees, government is highly efficient, and people are into living vapid, meaningless, lives in relative comfort without a care in the world.

In short, the Left is insane crazy, not mendacious liars.

I don't think it's a valid comparison to current prices. For whatever reason chicken was expensive back then -- fewer chickens, maybe? So it would stand to reason that eggs were, too. We seldom ate chicken. In fact, one of my favorite things my mom made was "city chicken," which was veal (!) shaped to look like a drumstick with a stick inserted in it to represent the bone. It came already breaded and she fried it. It wasn't until the 60s -- because of mass farming of poultry? -- that we ate actual chicken more often.

The meal I recall the most is lasagna and, occasionally, steak. Lots of cereal and pancakes too. LOL

So what? The cost of burgers has gone up across the board. That is why you Trumpys discuss so poorly. An example, however questionable. does not disprove the whole. The fact is burger prices across the country have climbed way beyond inflation.

Go to Applebee's and shut the fuck up!
 
Nordberg said:
Oh, that is the answer to inflation and it's setting a baseline price that would be higher than it should be. Your logic an attitude are reprehensible.

Yep. It's about time you realized it. Just as yours is...

Your post illustrates that you know nothing about healthcare costs in this nation. As such, you don't merit a response. trump can do nothing about food prices unless he acts to stop corporate rape of the consumer.
Do you honestly believe that corporations spent hundreds of billions of dollars getting him elected, only to be challenged by him?

I don't believe I'm the delusional one.
