Today, POTUS announced on Twitter that the White House finally has a plan to reduce the price of groceries for American consumers....
It's long overdue. Past efforts focused on pointing blame. The astute reader will remember that the Biden Admin first blamed Trump for inflation, then they blamed the "Putin price hike," and finally they blamed greedy corporations.
Sadly, like just about everything this administration does, there is not much substance to the "plan," and it will actually make food inflation worse....
1. "Partnering with AGs to take on price gouging." Partnering does not mean anything, and price gouging is when a company does something like double the price of generators during a power outage. There is no substance here. What are they going to do, sue Piggly Wiggly for charging $1.55 for a can of beans?
2. "Successfully calling on grocery chains to lower costs." What does that even mean, Biden will call the Piggly Wiggly CEO and ask him to please cut prices so Biden can get re-elected? LOL.
3. "Providing an extra $2000 for food stamps for a family of four." This is the typical fix for everything according to the Biden Regime. More handouts. They don't understand basic economics. When you make something "free" (paid for by other taxpayers), it raises prices for everyone due to higher demand.
How about something meaningful for a change? Reduce regulations and reduce energy costs for starters. And get your darn priorities straight....
