In my area, restaurant food prices are going up and up - not 5,10 percent, but 50% range or more. What cost me $10 last year, cost me 13, 15$ now or more.

I dunno if this is price gouging or restaurants genuinely are paying more for their supplies. End result is the same, I am paying more if I eat out.

Yes, this is anecdotal. Yes I know I should probably eat at home. I’m just saying this to show that stock markets, GDP etc doesn’t matter if people are stressed while buying groceries or having a meal at a local restaurant. None of the fancy infographics matters if I am starving



Now explain how Biden/Harris is to blame for any of the inflation and how Trump would make it at all better...


You have a lot to learn about politics if you think this matters.


It is not because of Biden/Harris. Trump will not make it better, in fact he will make it much, much worse.

That is the point. General public either does not understand or does not want to understand the nuances. That is the unfortunate situation we are in. To them, they are unable to afford stuff, Biden is the president, so he is to blame. And Trump capitalized on it completely.

Politics is largely not a logical game, it is an emotional/knee-jerk-reaction game. If it was logical, nobody would ever vote for people like Cruz, Trump, Boebert etc.


Trump will likely make it better by making the gas price hold at below $3 per gallon like it was for nearly all of his Presidency. This will reduce the price of food.


how will he accomplish that?


The Keystone XL project is likely back on the table, along with fast-tracking of drilling permits on federal lands.


Just wait until he deports half the restaurant staff. There won't be a restaurant left to go pay 50% more in.
