Read the article, thought this is straight stuff that only the most honest journalistic outfit in the country could produce. Must be the Bee. Then I looked and it was.

One of my friends is treating herself to 1/4 of a doughnut from Dunkin’s. ;)

I’ll give this sixteen cents to my neighbor Steve so he can give me his “two cents” on 8 different topics.

Send it to the White House as a down payment for Joe’s dementia treatment.

Inflation.

It used to be "Brother, can you spare a dime?"

It's gone up six cents since then.

Not quite enough for an extra slice of cheese we saw in that sumptuous “traditional” barbecue spread they showed us, but I bet you could get an extra squirt of Velveeta. Praise Dear Leader!

Send a check for $0.16 to Diaper Joe. He’ll spend $20 trying to get more $$$ from you.

Visiting my mom in the Asheville area. I just got back from grocery shopping at Ingles & I could get 2-3 yogurt covered raisins. Yummy, thanks Joe😐

“Put a single drop of gas in the tank: Then go on a trip to the end of your driveway!”

Oh, it’s better than that. Local gas here is $3.44 a gallon.

That’s .0465 gallons, and at 20 mpg that will take my truck

.93 miles.

If it’s already rolling.

I remember when "dollars to doughnuts" was a description of a low-odds bet like Secretariat in the Belmont. Now it is just about even odds and if Slow Joe keeps up with the trillion dollar handouts it will be a extremely high odds bet where if you put up a mere dollar and got a whole doughnut you really won the lottery.

I ordered a thirteenth of a cup of coffee at Dunkin, but they wouldn’t give it to me unless I provided my own cup. So I declined.

I asked for extra ketchup at the local burger joint, and that came to 20 cents, but it really only cost me 4 cents, so I don’t feel so bad.

Yes, this is a Babyling Bouillon parody. But ElBiden administration DID release a press release “proudly proclaiming that price of ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish went down from last year.
Of course, NONE of their massed media parrots repeating the story reported that the price of meat went up from 8.50 a pound to about 16.00 to 22.00 a pound!

If prices keep going up this could come back to haunt Biden.

But I suppose his team has already figured out how they can jiggle the statistics in future years to make it look like what everyone knows is happening isn't happening.

The hot dogs and buns will just get smaller and smaller.

My bbq is brisket. I paid around $42 last year. It was $67 this year for the same size flat. The white house message is nothing but false propaganda.

Just finishing my brisket. 18 hours on my smoker. Our local Kroger had brisket on sale for $2.99 a pound.
