Economic reality took a bite out of President Biden over the holidays when a family friend griped in his Delaware home that ground chuck can now cost $5 per pound.
But the president said Monday his beef was with corporate “middlemen” rather than decades-high inflation that has caused the price of food and consumer goods to spike.
“I was sitting in my kitchen yesterday and here’s a sunroom off the kitchen and my wife was there with her sister and a good friend named Mary Ann,” Biden recounted during an event focused on ways to reduce meat prices. “And she was saying, ‘Do you realize it’s over $5 for a pound of hamburger meat? $5?'”

Betcha his friends don’t go to Walmart and don’t buy the big package! I don’t pay that much per pound.
When Geo Bush didn’t know what a supermarket scanner was nor how it worked, he was excoriated for being out of touch. This guy? Crickets. Never mind that chicken has solidly doubled and beef is up a solid 20-25% where I am.
Wait till he prices a used car. They’re up over 40%
Biden has never shopped in decades what difference does it make to him or the Democrats.
Be one of the lucky ones and sell your used car for more than you paid for it...
Family pack of chicken wings was $20.00
“Biden beats big meat”
Coming soon to a liberal Twitter feed, unironically.
“Biden beats big meat”
That’s just cause he wants to do AOC
I’m a used car dealer.
I catch hell all day long from people expecting pre-covid prices.
A bucket for a bend (1000 dollar bomber) is 1500-2k now.
My margins are thinner as the cars cost me more too.
A cow farted somewhere and an environmental zealot got concerned about climate change.
A progressive college kid decided to go into the cattle business.... Oh wait....he has other priorities.
Biden and his urban constituents have zero solutions, only more roadblocks, hurdles & stupidity for producers.
A friend named “Mary Ann?” He must be watching too many Gilligan’s Island reruns.
“That’s just cause he wants to do AOC”
According to her, we all do. All the time. She has quite the fantasy life.
Good to know he’s in touch with the little people
He feels their pain
“Be one of the lucky ones and sell your used car for more than you paid for it...”
We did that. Paid off the note and made $2,000 on a Honda HRV we bought used in the first place.

Yeah people dont get that
Theres several stages of costs before the retail price tag
And enough diseases to take out the entire Red Army
That’s why I’m still driving my 2003 Buick Century...
F&$##ng Brandon.
I just checked. The local meat market has ground chuck for $3.69. I usually buy 5 1 pound packs at a time. That lasts me 2-3 months
Sirloin $4.99 this week. Still too much for sirloin, but it’s far better beef than the grocery store
