Grocery costs are too high for families across the country.

We have a plan to tackle them.

• Partnering with 31 state Attorneys General to take on price gouging
• Successfully calling on grocery chains to lower costs -- urging more to join leaders like Target, Walmart and ALDI in lowering prices
• Providing low-income families of four $2000 more for groceries by improving SNAP and launching summer EBT

How to turn the entire country into a "food desert" in three easy steps.

SNAP going up by $2,000?

Going to buy more stock in Vodka and Cheetos...

[Right Brother]

I call on Target, Walmart and Aldi to give all their food away. Then the woke can go broke “doing the right thing”.

[BenLurkin]

Great, more out of control government.

Lawfare against grocers...thats real smart /s

[Diana in Wisconsin]

This is gonna be good, LOL!

[Darksheare]

The 2008 gas price hikes, Congress went after “price gouging” up until it was shown that their own actions created the problem.
THEN they said that gas prices had to go UP!

Just a little fascism to goose downward the inflation numbers before the election.

[frank ballenger]

Food commissar: Is picking up rocks to expose capitalist price gougers and root them out to save proletariat. Grocers’ bank accounts and family houses will be confiscated and divided among downtrodden workers. Price gougers will go to prison. Is glory day for Marxism-Leninism.

"Biden announces plans to jail grocers to combat his food inflation."

Biden won't remedy the soaring cost of groceries because he caused the inflation.

Ain’t Communism grand

[JJBookman]

The very definition of inflation is more money chasing around the same or fewer goods.

[Omnivore-Dan]

So why stop there? Just open your doors, fire all the cashiers, unplug the scanners, and let the fun begin! I want filet mignon, jumbo shrimp, live lobsters, gourmet ice cream (just like Pelosi) plenty of soda and drink mixes, cheese cakes, fresh baked bread, pate, cheeses, fresh fruits, etc., etc., etc. If wishes were horses., beggars would ride.

WTF?????? Is this a JOKE???

[chuck allen]

And just who in the hell is gonna enfoce this less than 4 months from Election Day. Congress wouldn’t pass it and the Chevron decision has cut the nuts off of your regulators. This is just campaign BS. Pretend you’re doing something for the gullible masses.

[apillar]

Price controls only lead to shortages, Economics 101. If there is no profit to be made stores simply won’t order or stock the items.

[Ann Archy]

Yeh Joe....JAIL THE GROCERS!!! DUMBASS.....YOU NEED TO BE JAILED!!! YOU CAUSED THIS PROBLEM AND EVERY OTHER PROBLEM WE HAVE!!! JAIL BIDEN!!

[beethovenfan]

I had to look to see if this was the Bee.

[Drago]

Grocers have the lowest profit margins in retail (1-3%)....I thought this was the Babylon Bee for sure when I read the FR title!

Nope, just the Biden Admin. idiots!

Slight correction: “How to turn 31 states into food deserts.”

The remaining 19 states that have sense enough (I would hope) to tell this doddering old fool to pound sand.
