The morons will believe what they’re told and not bother to interpret the data.

Correct, just like the gals on the view are their gospel.

I have noticed the price of eggs has dropped. A dozen eggs had been selling at over $6 and now are in the $3-4 range. Beef is still too high but pork is very affordable.

I’d argue if prices fall due to LOWER ENERGY costs is a good thing. Abundance of cheap energy is directly proportional to the standard of living.

Exactly. Heard a Dem pundit say The party will be talking to companies to address price gouging.
When supply goes up, prices go down. At Buckeye Farms in Versailles, OH Chickens are now laying eggs again.

“Beef is still ridiculously expensive. Why?”

Droughts several years ago caused many beef cows to be sold off.
Takes a long time told back young heifer calves , grow them into cows, and then for their calves to be market ready .

And with high cattle prices, it’s very attractive to send those heifers to slaughter and get money now, versus keeping as future cows

You need to find the sales on beef and meat in general.
Look for managers specials .
Some grocery stores are more expensive than others. Same item will be priced differently at different stores. Sign up to get the discounts, and some stores allow competitor coupons . Some have senior discount days (10% off).

Yeah. I’m paying $12.99 a pound for a sirloin.

Not happy about that.

“ They want a narrative that Trump has done nothing to bring down prices for the midterms.”

Two separate standards at work here:

Trump is required to bring prices down.
Biden got away with rocketing prices.

You’d think the dumb masses would have figured out that the ‘Inflation Reduction Act’* didn’t work.

Forgot to add: The cure for high prices is....high prices.

President Trump's response to these Democrat charges should be simple:

The Biden/Harris administration increased prices by 22% during their four years in office, with inflation peaking at 9%.

The only way to bring prices back down to the levels that I gave them when they took over is a 1930s depression with high unemployment, business bankruptcies, housing/mortgage foreclosures, and long breadlines.

Are the Democrats really calling for a Depression 2.0 after they caused the high prices in the first place?

Is that what they want? I don't think so.
