Food prices jump 5% in July. Bidenomics is a DISASTER

[Markle]

Sensitive much?

You are the one making a fool of yourself, why?

 

[Markle]

You sound like a Waffle House customer.

I love Waffle House!

I love Waffle House!

That's just goofy.

Inflation is up 5% from the increase of 9% last year.

You can't do numbers. It is not up from last year; it is less than half of last year.

 

[Markle]

That is the way the free market works

If ALL food is more expensive, the consumer has no options
If only beef is costing more, you have many more choices

According to you, if my usual suit at my men's store goes from $1,000 to $1,100, an increase of 10%, but I can buy one at Walmart for $85.00 my cost of living has plunged 90%.

Got it!

 

[Markle]

Yeah, where else do you get free entertainment? Anywhere else, you'd have at least a $20.00 cover charge for that!

We had a place in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. We frequently had breakfast at the local Waffle House. From the tatts, I can only assume that the majority of the ladies there were graduates of some Federal Prison! They were always great!

Numbers are not your thing, are they?

If food prices increased 11% in August of 2022, that means they went up 11% from 2021, right? If those food prices increase by 5% in August of 2023, that means they went up 16% from 2021. That is a vicious, punishing rate.

My favorite time!

Your wife got tired of being married to a loser.

True her first husband was a cokehead.
