What makes up grocery costs being up over 25% in less than 4 years... under Democrats

[AntonToo]

true---HOWEVER, it was Biden's job to deal with the effect of the issue on
THE BROAD BASE

And he did what a rather limited POTUS can do in a mostly free-market economy.

Administration worked with private companies to resolve transport issues, encourage production while Feds raised interest rates.

Bottom line today is that wage growth has been out growing inflation for a year and half now.

We all know that our personal gas prices have increased from 2020 an increase of $1.10 a gallon or 48.7%.May 5, 2024

Here's how to quantify gas, food and homeownership inflation in last 4 years

We have all been adjusting to the challenge of inflation for the past four years or so. Jeff MacLellan explains the numbers.

BUT the cost of diesel fuel has gone up as this shows:

Now groceries are part of "Trucks Carry Trillions of Dollars of Goods. According to the CFS, trucks transported 71.6%".

Most Goods Americans Use in Their Daily Lives Are Transported and Delivered by Truck

Trucks are the main form of transport of goods that Americans rely on, delivering $10.4 trillion of the $14.5 trillion of goods shipped in 2017.

Now for those of you that think the milk you bought at the store...just magically shows up...
There are multiple steps in getting the milk to you and almost all involve trucks using diesel fuel.
So indirectly the price of milk includes the cost of diesel fuel to deliver all the steps to the ability for you to buy your milk.

Supermarket profits being up 40% since 2021 might have SOMETHING to do with it.

So does closing the border to all migrants. Seasonal workers couldn't come into the country to plant or harvest crops.

You need to stop posting Trump Propaganda. It's all bullshit and lies from you.

Fossil fuel production in the USA is at its highest level in history so once again, you're caught lying through your teeth.

United States produces more crude oil than any country, ever - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

EIA Confirms Historic U.S. Oil Production Record

In mid-December I reported that the U.S. had set a new oil production record. The EIA has now confirmed that the U.S. is producing more oil than any other country, ever.

Saying global inflation happened because of Biden is about as stupid as saying Trump caused the pandemic...yet here you are, saying it.
During Trump administration were WERE IN A FUCKING RECESSION, where demand collapsed and people were collecting checks while severely cutting back on traveling and other spending, so OF COURSE they are going to have more money in the bank. In no way did that make for healthy economy.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had open borders, let in 12,000,000 illegals, and gave them free food and free housing totally fucking up the US standard of living. Increasing food demand without increasing supply, that is the definition of wht causes inflation. Don't take my word for it, here is a Philadelphia lady:

The Wall Street Journal and Forbes say that the success of the American recovery is because of immigration into your country.

Ditto Forbes. Immigrants contribute to your economy and they are not the fiscal drain that Donald Trump and the idiot Republicans claim they are.

The US Chamber of Commerce is begging for more workers. You have 9 million job openings you can’t fill.

Canada has had a similarly successful recovery because we brought in over 1 million immigrants after the country reopened because we had so many job openings.
