Fact Check: Karine Jean-Pierre Claims Grocery Prices Went Down Under Biden
Breitbart ^ | 06/25/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

CLAIM: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Tuesday that grocery prices went down under President Joe Biden’s leadership.

VERDICT: False.

“Food prices jumped 6.3% in 2021, and 10.4% in 2022. In 2023, food-price increases slowed, with the index up 2.7%,” TheStreet reported.

To put that in perspective, Yahoo News reported that “a basket of groceries that cost $100 in November 2020 would now set you back $125.80.”

Prices continue to rise despite the slowing rate of inflation.

I’m going to send her a copy of the invoices I paid for fertilizer 4 years ago and what I paid this year to grow wheat out here. I wonder if she can do simple arithmetic, I can, 55% increase is the number lady. But prices are down, right?

Biden and his fellow Democrat Liars insult America’s intelligence over and over again.

Have you noticed (rhetorical question of course you have) that many items in the grocery store have shrunk as the price goes up. Many loose items are sold by weight (according to the manufacture) and while they use the same size packages, they put less of their product in them.

That is a form inflation that most likely not counted.

She must think people are more stupid than she is.

Unfortunately, she may be correct.

If DJT were to say something that absurd, some lib prosecutor would charge and indict him for election interference.

I don’t trust most blacks and don’t trust most gays because of their ethics and political leanings. KJP is both of them.
