Daily Mail ^ | 2 February 2024 | STEPHEN M. LEPORE

Joe Biden has suggested supermarkets should defy the laws of supply and demand to lower soaring prices that threaten his chances of re-election.

'There are still too many corporations in America ripping people off: price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, shrinkflation,' he said at a speech in South Carolina last week.

Being on the lower end of the food chain being a farmer let me state my opinion on this.

Reason for high food prices

High land cost

High energy oosts

High labor coats

High equipment costs - Just paid $63,000 for half ton pickup

High employee benefit costs

And above all high regulatory costs

“That’s not how the economy works”

The Dems know that FULL WELL - which might help SOME PEOPLE here understand just how evil they are.

I am not a farmer, but when my wife complains about high food prices, I tell her what you said.

Jo Jo. Here’s a little Economics 101 for you and your economic “expert” morons. Eight million foreign freeloaders, each with a “fistful of dollars” does have a tendency to drive up the cost of EVERYTHING. Jughead. Look it up.

Vintage Stalin. Prices are high, so blame the producers, then find a way for government to jam its chubby fingers in to break it more.

Joe Biden’s reputation as a nitwit, a fabulist, a racist, and a greedy thief is well established. There’s good reason why he was widely known as the “dumbest man in Washington” during his Congressional career.

When I saw the jobs numbers hit today, I knew the election year juicing of the economy was on. Expect nonstop “things are so awesome and it’s all because of Biden” news stories from now until November

The pipeline for the nonstop gaslighting coming from this regime and their lapdogs in the media has been wide open 24/7 for the past three years. Why stop now?

His propaganda team isn’t even good anymore. He was suppose to say he will lower prices if he is re-elected.
