It is always someone else’s fault with this punk administration.

Regardless of what Democrat women think of Bill Clinton, I hardly see any connection to food price inflation. Perhaps they mean a different “Big Meat”?

Look at 5 year pricing the farmers have dealt with.

Connect the tops to see the trend. Sideways.

Then look at the max. Farmers getting squeezed. Consumers getting squeezed. Who is making the money on meat?

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Increases in the prices of beef, pork and poultry are driving the overall spike in food prices

My family buys very little meat and yet our grocery prices have still skyrocketed, so I know the WH is lying - again.

Not sure you improved anything.

Some may like that better.

As for the “We” at the end, you totally lost me. “We” get
nothing we want.

So, inflation is the meat companies’ fault. The covid bounce is the American people’s fault. The crime wave is white people’s fault. The Kabul fiasco is Trump’s fault. The swarms at the border are poverty’s fault. Sure glad we have faultless Joe Biden for a president.

These people are doing their best to start a civil disturbance that will give them license to do whatever they like.

Which will also give us license to do whatever WE like. Pretty sure they won't like it.

Yep. Their party just has to tell them any lie, no matter how stuid, abd they will be all over social media repeating it

Democrat votes are brain dead robots who ignore any facts that challenges “their team”.

They’re following the Venezuela playbook to a T

America has the MOST expensive government in the world. Government and its actions are the cause of this inflation.

A woman I know well just took a job with our state, working in “at risk health-care” ie) getting more poor/immigrants on the dole.

She said she already has many daily zoom meetings, and very little real work, and her agency is hiring many more people every day. And not one of them will produce a god-damn thing. She has no idea where they will even sit if/when they go back to the office.

Can’t let the people know that government spending is responsible and that government policies in general, are causing everything to go up in prices. Gas prices especially are causing everything that is delivered go to up in prices.

Blame everybody and everything but the parties responsible, and those responsible are the Biden administration and democrats’ heavy spending.

Biden forgot to blame Trump, but it’s coming.
