Perhaps the dumbest argument coming from people who call themselves conservatives is that groceries would suddenly be cheaper if we pulled out of Iran. No, they would not. Your grocery bill is not an itemized invoice from Ukraine, Israel, or Iran.
Groceries are expensive because the enormous inflationary surge under Biden permanently raised the price level. In June 2022, grocery prices were rising at 12.2 percent annually, the largest increase since 1979. Everybody wants to like pretend that didn’t happen. Today, grocery inflation is down to 2.7 %. The previous increases don’t magically disappear. Ending a war does not reverse four years of accumulated inflation under Biden (source: Bureau of Labor Statistics)
Trump can reduce regulatory, energy, transportation, and production costs, improve supply conditions, and prevent another inflationary explosion. And by the way, he’s done all of that already. But returning the entire country to 2020 prices would require deflation which generally means a severe recession or government price controls, which conservatives used to understand were disastrous.
Some of the people making this argument who are conservatives are not stupid.
Which means they’re probably being malicious.
The establishment Republicans have arrived to inform you that if you're worried about grocery prices, you're just a "whiney doomer" and really it's fine that prices have gone up by 30 percent because at least you're better off than someone who lived 125 years ago. This is a winning message. I'm sure the voters will respond very well to it. Good stuff, David! You're doing great!
Socialists sometime object to capitalism on the grounds that it restricts access to goods that meet basic human needs, but here we see a socialist doing exactly that.
Notice how devious the communist is: Mamdani forced his minion to say the part about needing government ID to buy celery, so he wouldn't be in the everlasting clips saying it. Sneaky sneaky socialist.
So you need a valid ID to shop at Mandami’s government grocery stores to make sure the system isnt taken advantage of
But the same people who love this idea will also scream racism if you say you need a valid ID to vote so the system doesnt get taken advantage of.
Hypocrites man…Either you should be for no ID for both or ID for both. But if you are split than you are prob a fraud
This is the height of hypocrisy with the LUNATIC left. ID’s for a “soon to fail” grocery store, but NO ID’s for voting in elections. This is a South Park episode playing out in real life. 😂😂😂
