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

Sending people to jail seems to be Biden’s answer to everything.

In a free market the solution to “price gouging” is competition. Not totalitarian government. Democrats are showing their centralized, authoritarian instincts and contempt for freedom again.

They do realize that grocery store is already have extremely low profit margins. When factoring the amount of time it takes to stock the thousand and thousands of items in inventory, utilities, payroll, transportation costs, etc. their is little profit left.

Their ultimate goal is to exterminate 90% of the world population. Making the entire country a “food desert” will take them a long way toward that goal.
