The cause of inflation at the grocery stores is not price gouging but shoplifting and pilfering — due to defunding the Police — so that they have to raise prices for everyone to compensate for those losses, in addition to the vandalism, graffiti, crime, cleanup, etc. that are driving businesses out of the neighborhood. The profit margins for grocery stores are less than 2% — but they have much higher overhead to maintain a store in a high crime neighborhood.

Businesses are not the problem — they are the answer. In the last four years, government and excessive regulation has been the problem — and so we don’t need more of it. Meanwhile, government under the Biden-Harris Administration has done basically nothing — and so the country is falling apart — and just giving away more free money is going to fuel more inflation.

We need to reward the productive — like the Donald Trumps and JD Vances to continue producing better products and services — and not more government drones like Biden-Harris-Walz etc. — who think that things magically appear in unlimited quantities just for the taking — and there should be no incentive to be productive and responsible.

Just unlimited free money. That has always been the cause of inflation.
