Senate Democrats attacked McDonald’s on Tuesday for price gouging while it continues to “grow” profits and serve the needs of customers.
The letter, written by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Bob Casey (D-PA), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), underscores the success of former President Donald Trump’s campaign stop on Sunday when he worked a McDonald’s drive-thru window in Pennsylvania.

Margins at fast food places are probably 1-2%
Add the CA mandated wages and many are probably underwater.
Democrats are the enema of the people...
Democrats are the enema.
Damned dictators...they are so unAmerican!
No self-awareness at all
Gov’t issued numbers on Inflation are deflated from the real numbers.
Babylon Bee? No. payback for positive news about Trump. Only political blowback from sour grapes Democrats. Businesses have to make a profit to stay in business. With this runaway inflation, it will be difficult to prove.
NOT the Bee!
They run ops just like a criminal organization would.
What’s weird is they have lost elections before, why are they so insanely irate this time?
Because they had big plans, is my take.
How can you price gouge at a fast food joint?
If your product is too high people will just go elsewhere.
Democrats are economic morons.....................
Their socialist utopia was within their grasp..............
Good platform for Trump and JD to slam Kamala for inflation and unaffordable prices
Be thankful when your enemies are mean and stupid
The Democrats have always been mean, lying snakes but they used to be a lot smarter.
DEI is a thing and the entitled Democrats have become just too lazy, stupid and incompetent to execute a proper conspiracy
This is what political persecution looks likes, Dems are utterly contemptible.
“ A recent analysis of six popular fast food chains (McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out Burger, Burger King, and Jack in the Box) found that 27 out of 30 menu items experienced price increases that outpaced inflation.”

Enquiring minds will want to know that that is because the cost-of-living index that THEY use as THEIR measure of inflation EXCLUDES FOOD AND ENERGY COSTS.
Correct.
That’s right.
My thoughts exactly.
In fact, they’re just morons in general.
I really rarely go to McDonalds, but that’s where I got lunch today. Just because of Trump.
