The rise in grocery prices under Biden were so extreme...about 12%....that the Federal Government gave SNAP a raise across the board.

You know, I don't remember MSM bitches about price increases during Biden's first three years when most of the damage occurred.

“Executive summary

Measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), consumer prices rose substantially more during Joe Biden's presidency than during Donald Trump's most recent comparable period: CPI increased by about 21.5% over Biden's four years, and Biden-era headline inflation peaked at roughly 9.1% in mid‑2022, whereas early data from Trump's second term show smaller cumulative increases and lower peak monthly rates to date [1] [2] [3]. Analysts and partisan actors disagree about causes and comparable windows, so the raw CPI numbers require context about timing, drivers and methodology [2]

“Inflation trends during the Trump and Biden administrations have reflected very different economic backdrops. In Trump's first term, inflation remained relatively subdued and often ran below the Federal Reserve's 2% target, supported by stable supply chains and lower energy costs. Inflation accelerated sharply beginning in 2021 under Biden, driven by pandemic-related supply disruptions, fiscal stimulus and rising housing and energy prices. As Trump's second term progresses, the war with Iran is emerging as a key driver of renewed inflation, largely through higher energy prices. Tariffs and immigration restrictions may also add additional pressure over time.”
