“Progressives” are economic illiterates who mostly attended Institutions of Marxist Indoctrination, formerly known as American universities.

I hope that Doocey asks Biden or his handlers, which corporations? Are they your donors?

Government is the only permanent growth industry. Government growth is automatic inflation, as it drives up the cost of everything. Ultimately, consumers pay that cost in increased prices for all goods and services.

Bidenflation is a more accurate made-up term.

I’m surprised it too this long. Lefties always roll this out because it’s obviously impossible for their policies and rule to have caused anything bad like inflation.

At the front of the Greedflation line is the Federal Government which gets to pay its bills by counterfeiting the money.

But they won’t mention that little fact.

Pennsylvania Senator Casey has been running ads saying that greedy corporations have reduced the size of packages to cover higher prices.

Yes, because BUSINESSES are those who dilute the value of the dollar by printing billions of them.

Poopypants Biden is right. Businesses should operate at huge losses by receiving $100 for what costs them $200.

Doing anything else is TREASON.

And a 40% capital gains tax, and an unrealized capital gains tax.

truck drivers pay more for the fuel to haul groceries to your local market;
local market pay more for the groceries;
consumer pays more for groceries:

Biden blames grocery stores for higher prices;

McDonald’s new Dollar Menu means massive price cuts for customers

By Kate Taylor, Dec 19, 2017, yahoo.com

McDonald’s much-anticipated new 2017 value menu means massive prices cuts for customers, a roughly 15% price reduction across the chain’s full menu.

........some items are already being sold at similar prices, leading up to the launch of the new value menu. Happy Meals for kids — are going to have their prices slashed by up to 25%.

<><>$1 items include the Sausage Burrito, McChicken, and Cheeseburger.
<><>$2 Items include Buttermilk Crispy Tenders, Bacon McDouble, and McCafé beverages,
<><>$3 gets Happy Meals and Triple Cheeseburgers.

While the McPick 2 has helped drive sales over the past year, a new national Dollar Menu is a major move to win over customers looking for value.

The company is throwing a huge amount of weight behind the effort, increasing its already massive national advertising budget by 20% starting in 2018.

It's not greedflation at all but a result of democrat economic policies.

Let's say you own a Burger King franchise. You need 10 people behind the counter at a time, but due to all the free money the democrats showered the country with to steal a phrase from the Washington Post, you can get 5 employees. The end result is that the money you had earmarked for 5 employees you need but don't have goes into your pocket, increasing your profits.

The next problem is that since people have all that free money, they're your business is getting slammed, so much so that the employees can't keep up. To offset the demand and give your employees some more money to keep them around, you have to raise prices.
