During an interview aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” President Joe Biden stated that while “corporate greed” has caused an increase in the amount of money people have to spend on groceries and people feel real pain from the cost of groceries and food and he’s angry people have to spend more, “if you take a look at what people have, they have the money to spend.”

Host Erin Burnett said, “[T]here’s real pain. Grocery prices are up 30% — more than 30% since the beginning of the pandemic, and people are spending more on food and groceries than they have at any time really in the past 30 years. That’s a real day-to-day pain that people –.”

I was shocked when I went to Publix and a jar of Miracle Whip was $8.79!!! Disgusted also. Way way over priced.

What does Castro have to do with anything?

Maybe like in high end jewelry stores they can not put price signs for anything because wealthy people find such things vulgar.

Joke on a refrigerator magnet I saw:

I can remember when stuff
used to only cost an arm.

I’ve heard that about grocery profit margins being so low.

A couple of large, apparently successful independent markets with lots of customers near me said “We can’t compete unless we had dozens of markets like Kroger types. One or two can’t make enough to stay in business.” They both went under.

Senator Casey (D-PA) has a commercial running blaming corporate “greed” for rising grocery prices and shrinkflation.

So black Trump voters aren’t black enough, and struggling people who are still able to buy groceries aren’t poor enough.

"Biden: There’s ‘Corporate Greed,’ But People ‘Have the Money to Spend’ on More Expensive Groceries"

All rational discussions about bidenomics gets lost in the empty space between joe's ears. In space no one can hear you scream.

[GOPJ]

CNN wasn’t kissing Biden’s butt while he lied? Well, that’s news alright.

Making people pay their bills instead of abandoning them only promotes their spending moe, increaning demand that raises prices, and causes more inflation.

We need to have our deliberate increase one's debt with inability to pay a criminal instance of fraud. It is the truly honest and honorable people who suffer the most.

Limiting unsecured loans (credit cards, etc.) to six per cent per year ny making anything above that criminal usury, and the whole problem of economic anarchy will come to a screeching halt.

Putting credit cards in the hands of irresponsible economically ignorant people has been a really stupid waiving of common sense on the part of the creditor.

Corporate greed?

What about government greed? That surpasses any other by many orders of magnitude.

[Peter ODonnell]

Everyone in Idaho must be a millionaire based on prices of potato chips, even this Canadian was astounded by how high the price had soared. Crackers also way up there.

[imardmd1]

Grocery stores are now charging you for their shopping bags. Pretty soon, the cost of the three plastic bags alone will be $85, eh? <> (Never mind, just put them also on the credit card.)

I’m so glad I took my tv off the wall, I’d probably shoot it

[Vaduz]

People have money to spend yeah that’s the ticket............

[Texas resident]

People on the take from China have money to spend.

That all he cares about.

[matt04]

Exactly. The left wants to conveniently forget that he had to end a presidential campaign because he caught plagiarizing major parts of it.

Nothing has changed since then, except he’s older, and is much, much, much much more mentally diminished.

[Chgogal]

So says the Democrat leader who plans to confiscate more of Americans’ hard earned money to fill the Greedy Federal Government's Coffer! Grrrrrrr!

[jmacusa]

The same corporations that have been putting money into this idiots pockets all these years. Biden really id too stupid to be idiot.
