@@gabrielc7861 give me an example of something that has doubled, tripled, or quadrupled in its price that you can't get for cheaper at another store. A 20% price increase in food can feel deceptively high.
This is how averages work. Some items stay the same, others triple or quadruple. Furthermore, some of the inflation started in 2020, when Trump was president. You are just believing what you want to believe, not facts.
@@lukecoomer9349 But then that statement is meaningless. There’s thousands of products out there, there’s gonna be a few that go up in price a lot every year, due to random events. A recent example is eggs due to avian diseases. What Trump said was just stereotypical politician jargon, that is statistically meaningless but rallies the masses. I personally hate establishment politicians like Biden and Hillary, but let’s not pretend like Trump is somehow different.
Corporate greed. Nothing to do with the President. They automate ordering through apps now. Less employees. Record profits and the higher ups making a killing.
3 dollars? A value fry, in the TINY paper bag IS $3.99 in maine. A state with the 4th highest tax burden, and 4th lowest average income. Thanks Janet Mills….🖕
to claim prices tripled because something costed $1 is now $3 is childish. Did everything from $30 become $90? or $120? but if all you buy is dollar menu items, then you may be in a bubble
We need to get them both out. Trump was a fun president at first but now hes just pretty unhinged with what he says. Theyre not exactly good candidates
@@AFed69 He should have vetted his information better. He will close the border, get the illegals out. Put our people back to work drilling our own oil instead of importing it. Get us a good health care system. Get inflation down. Get the deficit down. Stop those wars. I'd give him another 4 years.
@@paulette6900you’re delusional as hell and apart of the problem freaking president isn’t your friend nor does he care about anything your concerned about unless it services his agenda. We keep getting terrible candidates because Americans are too content with the lesser of two evil narrative instead of demanding competent non biased leadership. You really believe any president is gonna stop outsourcing or taking oil from foreign countries when majority of their pockets are lined up by this?? That’s peak levels of delusion can’t believe anyone would be foolish enough to think something like this is ever gonna happen.
@@ResseDfa How is Trump remotely close to Biden, cognitively? How do you even compare the two? Trump might talk crazy, but he's a man of action and he gets things done. His policies were bogged down by the Dems constantly trying to get him out of the office for his entire term. They worked so hard against him instead of for him and to give us prosperity.
Maybe on average, food prices have only gone up 21.2% according to that source. All of my food costs are at least double what they were just two years ago. Some have tripled and quadrupled. It depends on the food. Regardless, I have had to adjust my family's diet according to the higher prices on food.
Yeah. People keep using Eggs as an example of the massive price difference since 2020. This is an outlier stat as in 2022, Egg prices, per dozen, were at an adjusted-for-inflation price of $2.86 for a dozen Grade A large eggs (compared to an adjusted-for-inflation price of $2.09 in 2020), but in 2023 this SHOT up due to a perfect storm of inflation and avian flu. Another round of avian flu in early 2024 saw this price rise again, then fall back to somewhat more normal 2022-ish pricing. People are cherry-picking prices on certain products in certain years to misrepresent the overall price across the board.
@@KeithDCanada Most people use what the weekly cost of feeding their families is now compared to 4 years ago. They don't even know the prices of individual items from 4 years ago they just know they can't afford to buy as much and are spending more than twice and getting less. Seeing moms forced to use credit cards to buy food to keep food on the table is heartbreaking.
@@Dan-sm1to Yes, but the extreme examples being shared, are not the average that is overall being experienced by everyone. People are cherry picking '2 years ago Eggs were 'this' price... and last month in this one store beef cost me 'this' much... and we have no other information in these posts about why, for them, this experience may not match the average. All we know for sure, is the national measured average cost of Food & Non-alcoholic beverages is about 21% more than 2020. That's not a maybe... that's a fact. While it's sad that some people are experiencing worse results, it is still just an anecdotal example of an extreme in a few cases, a few areas, or even just someone fabricating or exaggerating an answer to align with a narrative. I know its hard. When prices on certain products went up, I had to start shopping around. I started shopping at two different stores, a Walmart, and another closer chain, depending on which items each had cheaper than the other..... and when the prices on something went absolutely through the roof - like Honey - I stopped buying that product. Part of the price inflation is corporate greed.. companies seeing an inflation spike, and padding their numbers even higher and just blaming it on inflation. Part of it is dependant on the product and ho much the prices of resources used to create it have gone up (like Fresh Water). Certain products will be affected more than others, and if someone just happens to buy a lot of the very affected products.... they ill see a higher bill than others. I had to change my buying habits to keep my household food prices in check. It's unfortunate. but it's the reality of the world we live in right now. Food had to be grown and produced... as the weather changes, and resources becomes more expensive, that will translate to higher food costs. Just watch... the price of chocolate/cocoa will soar as time moves on, because the amount of fresh water cocoa plants need to grow is going to make it a luxury item eventually. A person who buys a lot of cocoa/chocolate will see a larger impact to their food bill. Meat of various kinds will become expensive faster than other food products because it's one of the most water intensive foo products to produce. Lots of factors go into food prices, before and after production, and this can create price fluctuations from region to region... but it is a fact that 21% is about the amount that prices, on average, have gone up.... and if that is not your experience, then you need to look at the types of products you are buying and see if your buying patterns need to change... if you buy a lot of meat... yeah you will e noticing a more rapid food bill increase than your neighbor who doesn't. This is the reality today.
@@KeithDCanadaso corporate greed went up because Biden's president. I blame it on Biden period. I'm 70 and I've never seen prices go up so much in all my 70 years
They mean ever since biden became president its only gone up that much. Food has been going up in pricing since obama was president. By 2020 food prices had already gone up by a solid 100% depending where you go
This average is all 'Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages' in the US, from all points of sale (Private, Corporate, Bulk, etc) since 2020. Individually some things you buy will be higher... Beef 20%, Eggs 50%, Flour & Sugar 30ish %. When averaged out, though, it is somewhere between 21-25%. What 'you' buy, and where 'you' buy it may differ from this national average.
The issue is this is true, but this is for raw ingredients. I rarely see people only buying raw ingredients, they buy prepared freezer items, branded items not just eggs, beef, canned beans, white bread. They look at all the brands and just average them out but in reality, a lot of premium and organic brands are still up over 50% especially prepared freezer items
I used to have to struggle to get the small grocery cart to go over $100 when i go to the grocery store. I filled one up for $200 last week. 21% my ass.
I remember when myself my weekly grocery budget was $20. Aldis and trader Joe's. Even if you did $40 that would be a struggle with the same type of shopping
No.... when all food items are averaged, at every point of sale in the country, private, bulk, corporate, etc.. it is a little over 20%. Where 'you' shop, and the type of items 'you' buy may differ. Not every type of item has increased by the same amount. Beef is up around 20%. Eggs around 50%. Carbonated Beverages around 32%. Canned Fruit & Veg around 32%. Flour & Sugar around 30%. Those are some of the highest increases since 2020. When all food and non-alcoholic beverages are totalled together, it's somewhere in the 21-25% range as an average.
@@shaunmahlangu1673 Let's put it into perspective. I paid a plumber $60/ hr. A plumb farmer may have spent $60. on that plum tree. That plum tree may produce 200 plums. That is .3 cents a plum. The farmer pays X per bushel to a picker. He pays X to the truck who takes it to the stores and he pays X in taxes. The store is only offering so much for those plums knowing some will rot. The store pays a person to set the produce out and the person at check out. The store also pays taxes. Before we know it, that .3 cent plum is worth .75 cents. 7 peoples salary. The 7th is the government who taxed that plum several times over. The farmer, the truck driver and the company he works for, the store and all the workers including the one who picked the fruit.
The smaller the ticket price, the more price changes will fluctuate though. A store like a 'dollar store' type of business wants to keep things simple for their transactions... so when they need to raise prices, they don't want to make an item $1.11. On a $1 item, they may just mark it up to the next 25 cents. Someone isn't going to change their buying habits if an item is $1.25 instead of $1.11.... but if that $100 pair of shoes is $125, instead of $111... that may cause some people to shop around. I am sure you are just being comical with the dollar tree example, but using small ticket items as examples in discussion of prices increases is typically a bad idea.
Where the hell are you getting pork chops? Actually pork is relatively cheap in the US. Feel bad for those who can't eat pork and have to pay a gross amount for chicken and beef. Old people are reduced to hot dogs as a meat source . That can't be good.
The latest Consumer Price Index report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows beef and veal prices are up 7.7% compared to January 2023. More specifically, ground beef is up 5.5%, beef roasts 6.7%, and beef steaks are up 10.7%. This comes a week after the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) warned we could soon see record-high beef prices. So what’s behind the price jump? Like we previously saw with egg prices (2023 Avian Flu crisis), supply is largely to blame. At the start of the year, there were 87.2 million cattle and calves in the U.S., AFBF economist Bernt Nelson explains. While that sounds like plenty to support U.S. beef demands, Nelson notes that’s the lowest inventory to start a year since 1951, when estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture put the overall count at 82.08 million. The last time the U.S. experienced such a dip was in 2014 when, according to AFBF, cattle inventory fell to 88.24 million. Unlike what happened with eggs, the latest limited supply isn’t being caused by illness among cattle. Instead, experts from the Farm Bureau point to drought conditions and the rising costs of supplies to maintain herds. Both have led to farmers reducing their herd sizes, Nelson explains. “The latest cattle numbers are a stark reminder of the challenges facing America’s farmers and ranchers,” said AFBF President Zippy Duvall in a press release last week. “Severe weather, high inflation and geopolitical uncertainty are taking a toll on farmers across the country, and families will see the effects in their grocery bills.” When we last saw cattle counts dip in 2014, beef prices hit a record high in 2014. Prices dropped in the years after, jumping again in 2020, only to fall later that year. Since early 2021, beef prices have continued to climb. As for why beef prices are relatively low at the stores now, Nelson points to a high level of beef production. Higher prices may not slow consumers much though, according to Kansas State University’s Meat Demand Monitor. A survey of more than 2,000 respondents found an increased willingness to pay higher prices on beef products at the grocery store between November and December 2023. A recent report from Wells Fargo also noted that retailers have noticed consumers are “more enthusiastic about buying steak when the package price is under $10 per pound.” However, more respondents (31% more than in November) rank price among the leading aspects they take into consideration when it comes to purchasing protein, the Meat Demand Monitor reports. It’s worth noting that beef prices have dipped marginally since December, coming down about 0.3%, according to the latest CPI. Data from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association shows wholesale prices across various cuts of beef have come down slightly through the first weeks of February, but are higher than prices we saw during the same period of 2023. ------ as for your local store going from $16 to $40... that is an anecdotal example. Difference in price could be because: You are being disingenuous and those prices are made up, the price was on two different cuts of meat (type, weight, etc), a very local supply chain issue that raised price temporarily in your local area, a misprinted sticker price on an item (I have seen it), etc). This is NOT the national average experience on beef prices though.
IT's not 'false' though... the NATIONAL average of all Food & Non-alcoholic Beverages, from all points of sale in the US (private, corporate, bulk, etc) since 2020, has been around 21-25%. Some products skew higher, like Eggs at 50%, Flour & Sugar at 33%, but the average of everything is 21-25%. Of course what 'you' buy and where 'you' buy it can also differ from the average. I've seen the same food item, in two different chain grocery stores, differ by more than 30%. Of course while not the normal experience, this does happen. I have had to shop around and change where I buy certain items, or eliminate certain items entirely in favor of a different option.
Article - March 2024 In 2023, egg prices hit an all-time high, topping out at about $7 per dozen in some parts of the country. That number was reached thanks to a perfect storm of inflation and a severe bird flu epidemic. Fortunately, by mid-summer, prices had returned to somewhat normal rates. But, according to new reports, we may be headed for yet another expensive egg season, just in time for Easter. According to Nerdwallet, egg prices are once again on the rise due to another outbreak of bird flu and inclement weather. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that " highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) viruses have been detected in U.S. wild aquatic birds, commercial poultry, and backyard or hobbyist flocks beginning in January 2022." To date, it has affected more than 82 million birds across 48 states. Nerdwallet pointed to the latest Consumer Price Index, which showed that egg prices increased 5.8% from January to February alone. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) additionally shows that the average cost of a dozen Grade A eggs rose from $2.52 in January to $3 in February. And all this is happening just a week before the Easter holiday, a time when people purchase around 180 million eggs a year, according to Business Insider. Egg Smuggling Is on the Rise at the US Border as Prices Soar "Typically, as we go into Easter, you see a lot of promotional activity and ads for Easter," Brian Moscogiuri, a global trade strategist at Eggs Unlimited, shared with Axios. "We're not seeing as much of that this year because of those price levels that we're coming off of." The good news is, as Moscogiuri noted, the demand for eggs usually sharply falls after Easter, rising only again during the winter holidays. Additionally, the USDA's Food Price Outlook for 2024 reported that although all food prices are "predicted to increase 2.9 percent, with a prediction interval of 0.5 to 5.3 percent," in general, "food prices are expected to continue to decelerate in 2024." The report added that egg prices are predicted to decrease 2.8 percent in 2024, "with a prediction interval of -17.2 to 14.6 percent." This wide prediction, the USDA said, reflects the "volatility in retail egg prices." But hey, at least it's better than 2023. Right?
You have to look at specific industries though. Some have had specific issues, like Eggs. From 2020, where the adjusted-for-inflation price was $2.09 per dozen grade A eggs, the price rose to $2.86 in 2022 (which by the non-adjusted prices was an increase of about 50%). In 2023 the combo of inflation and an bad round of avian flu circulating, caused egg prices to spike. This happened again in very early 2024, with prices dropping later to more 2022-ish levels. "Unlike what happened with eggs, the latest limited supply isn’t being caused by illness among cattle. Instead, experts from the Farm Bureau point to drought conditions and the rising costs of supplies to maintain herds. Both have led to farmers reducing their herd sizes, Nelson explains. The latest cattle numbers are a stark reminder of the challenges facing America’s farmers and ranchers,” said AFBF President Zippy Duvall in a press release last week. “Severe weather, high inflation and geopolitical uncertainty are taking a toll on farmers across the country, and families will see the effects in their grocery bills. When we last saw cattle counts dip in 2014, beef prices hit a record high in 2014. Prices dropped in the years after, jumping again in 2020, only to fall later that year. Since early 2021, beef prices have continued to climb. ------- So, Herd sizes shrink = less supply. Same amount of people eating beef = Same Demand. When Supply goes down in comparison to Demand, prices go up. Ad inflation to the mix, and prices go up a lot.
One of the big drivers of inflation was the Covid checks aka Trump Checks. Everyone got them, regardless of their financial or vocational situation at the time. It's basic economics that this will cause massive inflation, which it did. There's a lot to place blame on Biden but Trump shares a great deal of it. Mishandled the pandemic during both presidencies.
Fact Check (Straight from US Inflation Calculator - Egg Prices Adjusted For Inflation) (Listed as Egg Price in Year/Average Annual Egg CPI/Adjusted For Inflation in 2022 dollars) Category: Eggs (Grade A, Large, Per Dozen) Trump's last year in office - 2020 - $1.51 / 212.542 CPI / $2.09 Biden's first year in office - 2021 - $1.67 / 222.074 CPI / $2.21 So, adjusted for your 60 count box (assuming no discount for buying at a 5 dozen bulk rate): Cost of 60 eggs in 2020 - $10.45 Cost of 60 eggs in 2021 - $11.05 So, you are either being disingenuous, you are remembering prices from the wrong years, or the stores you are buying from had some bizarre pricing.... because nationally, a price of $5 for 60 eggs hasn't bee seen since..... 2002 where the 'pre inflation adjusted price was $1.03 per dozen. In 2022 a notable markup on eggs was seen pushing the price to $2.86.. which is close to the $14 price you state. But your $5 price in 2020, I call bullshit on, unless it was some local trend on the market that skewed WAY different than the average. The following formula shows how to adjust egg prices for inflation: 1980 Eggs Price x (2022 CPI for Eggs / 1980 CPI for Eggs) = Adjusted Eggs Price in 2022 Dollars In 2023, egg prices hit an all-time high, topping out at about $7 per dozen in some parts of the country. That number was reached thanks to a perfect storm of inflation and a severe bird flu epidemic. Fortunately, by mid-summer, prices had returned to somewhat normal rates. But, according to new reports, we may be headed for yet another expensive egg season, just in time for Easter. (From an article dated March 2024)
Thank god we know that Trump is “lying” now! It’s only doubled since he took office, whew. I was so afraid that it was tripled but that’s me just believing my stupid little lying eyes. But I can rest assured it’s only 21% increase (allegedly) and I can sleep well knowing Trump has been outed as a filthy liar now!!!! But democracy is at stake here so who am I to complain about the price hike and the constant gaslighting from our president, right? 😂
One calls +20 as +100 and -20 and -100. The other calls -20 as +100 and +20 as -100. An educated crowd knows that one is an exaggeration and the other is a lie. The pundits figure out a perspective where the exaggeration is rebranded as a lie, and spend all the time justifying their rebranding. But when asked "what about calling -20 a +100", the response is "We are not going to engage with absurdities, when someone is calling 20 as 100". Respect your own intelligence and vote for the right liar.
Well put. Lying is politics 101 but we have to be able to recognize an exaggeration from an outright lie. They frame exaggerations as lies and most people buy into that, but one is infinitely worse than the other. I’d rather have someone exaggerate a problem than lie directly to my face and tell me not to believe my eyes. Thats just me though
I was paying .98 cents/ per pound for onions in 2020 but now they cost $1.44/per pound. You have to factor in shrinkage. Yes, a big box of fish crackers cost exactly the same price but that big box is 1/3 smaller. I could buy a gallon of milk for $1.99 back in 2020 but now I am paying nearly $3.00. January's heating bill was $380. but in past winters with the same duration of below 0 I paid $240. On a long enough timeline a person can figure it out. If you started living on your own in 2022, you wouldn't know the difference. A normal cost of living might go up 3% every year. In 4 years that would mean we pay 12% more from the start to the end of the Biden administration. 12% can be reasonable but the 21% is not.
I’m telling you for a fact…I like to make a dish that calls for boneless pork ribs. I have made it for years. When Biden inflation began the price of these ribs has indeed tripled and now quadrupled. And that’s just one thing! The list goes on!!
I guess inflation is up all around the world because of Covid ending and people spending, shipping costs going up and scarcity of goods. In Canada and especially Great Britain inflation is skyrocketing. The British should never of voted for Brexit.
The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis needs to have their numbers guy reevaluated. My EXACT same grocery list from July 2020, re-ordered through the app, is three times the price now.
Joe said that NO troops died during his watch. Can you imagine being one of the parents of the 13 who did in Afghanistan....having your child's life and sacrifice erased by the man who got them killed? I can't. I'd be furious.
Bruh I've seen multiple freezer items more than double since the past 2 years in target. A lot of organic prepared freezer items have gone up 50% or more in target. How tf is Trump saying things going up double to triple not true?? Those said items have even gotten smaller. There's was a point in covid where everything was so inflated I remember seeing peanut butter for $4 up from just under $2 but you never spoke about any of thay
I guess Trump should have said, Iran's ability to fund terrorism was greatly reduced under his administration. And that is the truth. He should choose his words better. It was not a lie, just over stated.
Yes agreed. I thought that when he said it live. They waste their time fact checkign that there was no funding to terror during his presidency, which everybody knew was not fully true. It was weakened because iran had overall less money, but there’s always room in the whatever budget they have for some hamas action. What they need to talk about is why those groups were essentially dormant during his presidency. Instead we’re stuck on a semantics game because he overstated/exaggerated his claim. His strategy was effective for weakening hezbollah and hamas, but sadly it’s getting over shadowed by that 0 funding claim
Trump is right about the food. So many things have doubled and those things tend to be the everyday buys. But when you average that with other foods that didn't increase as much, that's why you see a low "average" overall.
I actually appreciated this video out of most i have seen. At least you presented for both rather than the rediculous narrative that Biden is just old and Trump lies....Biden deffinitely had false claims.
I live in Texas and when he said border patrol endorsed him I knew for a motherf****** fact that that was a damn lie😂😂 as soon as you said it hands down I was like" lies"
100 dollars worth of food 4 years ago are cost 400 dollars today. If you look at any app that lets you reorder or rebuy a purchase from the past. You can see the changes in price
You have to remember, this is an average of ALL 'Food & Non Alcoholic Beverages' sold across the US, no only in private stores, but bulk, corporate, etc. Not every type of item has increased by the same amount. Beef is up around 20%. Eggs around 50%. Carbonated Beverages around 32%. Canned Fruit & Veg around 32%. Flour & Sugar around 30%. Those are some of the highest increases since 2020. When all food and non-alcoholic beverages are totalled together, it's somewhere in the 21-25% range as an average. Where 'you' shop, and the type of items 'you' buy may differ
When Trump says they've doubled, tripled and quadrupled in some instances I took that as individual items like Chicken Wings for instance which used to be the cheapest part of the chicken with exception to the gizzards and on pare with livers but now is the most expensive part of the chicken surpassing breasts. There are quite a few foods I used to buy I don't buy anymore because they were once cheap and now are outrageous. Under Trump I was giving $1-$1.29 for a head of lettuce and $0.29-$049 a pound for cabbage heads. My iceberg lettuce head is $2 and up, romaine is double what it used to be and cabbage which is another poor man's food is $0.89 a pound and up. Cilantro used to cost $0.49 as did a bunch usually around 7 or 8 green onions. Now there's 5 green onions in a bunch and they cost about double what they used to at around $0.89 and up per bunch. That's another thing that isn't really being mentioned: When Covid hit we had a horrible distribution problem. Certain products like fresh meats were hardly being processed at the plants which caused a huge issue. During that time many restaurants and stores began cutting the amount of an item so that steaks which once weighed 20 ounces were now 14-16 ounces and steaks that were once 8 ounces are now 4-6 ounces. It may not seem like a big deal but the prices raised instead of going down with the portion sizes. The end result is what we have now which is a Texas Roadhouse meal under Trump was a 20 ounce ribeye for around $20 which included two sides. Now that steak is 16 ounces at my local Texas Roadhouses Pikeville, Kentucky, Bristol, Tennessee and Lynchburg Virginia but at least they raised the price to $26+
In a world where fresh water supply is becoming a more pressing issue, the prices and availability of items that use the most water in their growing season will see the most price increase. You have to look at how much water an item uses over it's 'lifetime of growth'. Beef - 1850 gallons//lb Chocolate (cocoa bean)- 2064 gallons/lb Chicken - 519 gallons/lb Banana - 94.5 galllons/lb Cabbage - 28.5 gallons/lb as some examples. Meat products are always going o be some of the most water intensive items to produce. Some items, like chocolate, can even outpace them. In comparison, produce, while water intensive, is more reasonable than meat to produce. Location also plays a factor, in that a massive segment of US growing takes place in the US Southwest... an area that is seeing the worst effects of increasing drought conditions as the years move on. Irrigating crops in an area here water is harder to obtain, will skew the resulting prices f producing that product. Overall, inflation is affecting the prices more than it did in 2020, but certain products are skewing higher in that regard (like Eggs - because of a 2023 Avian flu crises). With each industry... beef, cabbage, etc... you have to look at each one to see why prices specifically might differ from the 'average' inflation'. Beef is going up at a steadier rate, because farmers are shrinking heir herds in response to cost of resources to supply the cattle, severe weather condition increasing, and geo-political conditions growing more stressed. As for why cabbage, specifically, may be skewing higher, I haven't looked into that at this point. In general most produce that uses a high amount of water is going to skew higher than a low-water crop. I do know that if fresh water keeps becoming a more scarce resource... products like Nuts and Chocolate, may become delicacies that future generations may not commonly see, due to the cost of producing them.
What??? Biden administration pushed for virginia officials to sign a bill that would allow abortion up to 9 months and even euthanize newborns fresh out of the whom. Trump says there should be an abortion pill, and that he does not support aborting babies that have already developed hearts, brains, and nerves. Nice try 😂
Yeah that’s an actual lie they could have fact check but instead they focused on his exaggerations, which weren’t lies. The Grocery and hamas claims were a bit exaggerated but still overwhelmingly true. They focus on the worst shit with him I swear. Nobody gives a fuck about him saying groceries have tripled when it’s, by their estimation, only doubled? Like who cares, it’s still increased at an insane rate.
False. Grocery store prices increased statistically by 25% since Jan 2020 while the real wage has increased by 0.5%. That's why it feels like prices have doubled or more in some areas. And honestly I wonder how much of the "only 25% increase" has been manipulated for political purposes.
Lying to us, on this post. Price of the same groceries, per item, bought in 2020: 158.76 Same items purchased at Walmart, in June of this year: 246.86.
I disagree with food cost. What I spent as a single mother under Trump $100 would last the 3 of us well. I have to spend $300 to get the same groceries and as a single disabled mother receiving no help from their father I go without taking medicine so I can pay for my children’s food while all I can eat is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the past 3 years.
Just so you know, when you corrected the abortion laws you were incorrect. Post birth abortion (infanticide) is a crime and is illegal in all 50 states. When you say 8-9 month abortions are legal you are not wrong, but misleading. Abortions which take place after 21 weeks (less than 1 percent of abortions) are very rare and are usually, not always , to save the mother. Although whether abortion should be available to a mother at risk is a debated topic, it should definitely be stated that most late abortions are for the mothers safety.
Why is boarder security endorsing anyone? Who cares what boarder security thinks. Never in my long life (in Canada) has anyone ever discussed or cared what boarder security thinks.
They existed, just were under underfunded and respected us back then, now biden let the cash flow and messed his diaper that funded and emboldened them, like Russia, China and n.k.
I think OP means they were non factors. For the most part they were dormant, you Rarely heard anything about them from 2016-2020. Definitely were not as powerful and influential as they are now
Food prices have gone up so ridiculously in all my 70 years i know that. I shop once a month and im amazed everytime and that's one reason why i want Biden out and i could go on. Maybe i can eat again if Trump wins
The whole “we are not for late term abortion” is the same argument they had 15 years ago with elective abortion…and 40 years ago when they said abortions would be rare and only in the case where a mother or her baby was going to die
Trump was not commenting that all food prices tripled as we can see from his statement doubled, and tripled, and quadrupled. But there are foods that doubled in price, and some that tripled and some that quadrupled. I work in a supermarket and have seen some that doubled and tripled, not sure though of any that quadupled.
Its a 21% price increase for food since 2020. Not a 21% price increase since yall were a kids 🙄 Everyone remember the dollar menu but nobody seems to remember that its been gone for like 10 or so years in some mcdonalds
Federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009. A 21% increase in the last 4 years alone is huge to some people. It may not impact you, but it’s good to know you don’t care about your fellow Americans.

Trumps claim on food prices was not false. If anything it’s quadrupled on certain things. The person writing this must not do the grocery shopping.
This is how averages work. Some items stay the same, others triple or quadruple. Furthermore, some of the inflation started in 2020, when Trump was president. You are just believing what you want to believe, not facts.

I personally hate establishment politicians like Biden and Hillary, but let’s not pretend like Trump is somehow different.
When the Dollar Menu now costs $3 it has indeed tripled.
Corporate greed. Nothing to do with the President. They automate ordering through apps now. Less employees. Record profits and the higher ups making a killing.

Maybe on average, food prices have only gone up 21.2% according to that source. All of my food costs are at least double what they were just two years ago. Some have tripled and quadrupled. It depends on the food. Regardless, I have had to adjust my family's diet according to the higher prices on food.
Yeah. People keep using Eggs as an example of the massive price difference since 2020. This is an outlier stat as in 2022, Egg prices, per dozen, were at an adjusted-for-inflation price of $2.86 for a dozen Grade A large eggs (compared to an adjusted-for-inflation price of $2.09 in 2020), but in 2023 this SHOT up due to a perfect storm of inflation and avian flu. Another round of avian flu in early 2024 saw this price rise again, then fall back to somewhat more normal 2022-ish pricing.
People are cherry-picking prices on certain products in certain years to misrepresent the overall price across the board.
@@KeithDCanada Most people use what the weekly cost of feeding their families is now compared to 4 years ago. They don't even know the prices of individual items from 4 years ago they just know they can't afford to buy as much and are spending more than twice and getting less. Seeing moms forced to use credit cards to buy food to keep food on the table is heartbreaking.
@@Dan-sm1to Yes, but the extreme examples being shared, are not the average that is overall being experienced by everyone. People are cherry picking '2 years ago Eggs were 'this' price... and last month in this one store beef cost me 'this' much... and we have no other information in these posts about why, for them, this experience may not match the average.
All we know for sure, is the national measured average cost of Food & Non-alcoholic beverages is about 21% more than 2020. That's not a maybe... that's a fact. While it's sad that some people are experiencing worse results, it is still just an anecdotal example of an extreme in a few cases, a few areas, or even just someone fabricating or exaggerating an answer to align with a narrative.
I know its hard. When prices on certain products went up, I had to start shopping around. I started shopping at two different stores, a Walmart, and another closer chain, depending on which items each had cheaper than the other..... and when the prices on something went absolutely through the roof - like Honey - I stopped buying that product.
Part of the price inflation is corporate greed.. companies seeing an inflation spike, and padding their numbers even higher and just blaming it on inflation. Part of it is dependant on the product and ho much the prices of resources used to create it have gone up (like Fresh Water). Certain products will be affected more than others, and if someone just happens to buy a lot of the very affected products.... they ill see a higher bill than others. I had to change my buying habits to keep my household food prices in check. It's unfortunate. but it's the reality of the world we live in right now. Food had to be grown and produced... as the weather changes, and resources becomes more expensive, that will translate to higher food costs.
Just watch... the price of chocolate/cocoa will soar as time moves on, because the amount of fresh water cocoa plants need to grow is going to make it a luxury item eventually. A person who buys a lot of cocoa/chocolate will see a larger impact to their food bill. Meat of various kinds will become expensive faster than other food products because it's one of the most water intensive foo products to produce.
Lots of factors go into food prices, before and after production, and this can create price fluctuations from region to region... but it is a fact that 21% is about the amount that prices, on average, have gone up.... and if that is not your experience, then you need to look at the types of products you are buying and see if your buying patterns need to change... if you buy a lot of meat... yeah you will e noticing a more rapid food bill increase than your neighbor who doesn't. This is the reality today.
Hurrah for dried lentils, black beans and split peas.

They mean ever since biden became president its only gone up that much. Food has been going up in pricing since obama was president. By 2020 food prices had already gone up by a solid 100% depending where you go
This average is all 'Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages' in the US, from all points of sale (Private, Corporate, Bulk, etc) since 2020. Individually some things you buy will be higher... Beef 20%, Eggs 50%, Flour & Sugar 30ish %. When averaged out, though, it is somewhere between 21-25%. What 'you' buy, and where 'you' buy it may differ from this national average.
@@KeithDCanada that’s why the percentage 21% is BS …most people nation wide are paying at least double for their groceries..I know I am
The issue is this is true, but this is for raw ingredients. I rarely see people only buying raw ingredients, they buy prepared freezer items, branded items not just eggs, beef, canned beans, white bread. They look at all the brands and just average them out but in reality, a lot of premium and organic brands are still up over 50% especially prepared freezer items
I used to have to struggle to get the small grocery cart to go over $100 when i go to the grocery store. I filled one up for $200 last week. 21% my ass.

Food has went up more than 22%...
No.... when all food items are averaged, at every point of sale in the country, private, bulk, corporate, etc.. it is a little over 20%. Where 'you' shop, and the type of items 'you' buy may differ. Not every type of item has increased by the same amount. Beef is up around 20%. Eggs around 50%. Carbonated Beverages around 32%. Canned Fruit & Veg around 32%. Flour & Sugar around 30%. Those are some of the highest increases since 2020. When all food and non-alcoholic beverages are totalled together, it's somewhere in the 21-25% range as an average.

@@shaunmahlangu1673 Let's put it into perspective. I paid a plumber $60/ hr. A plumb farmer may have spent $60. on that plum tree. That plum tree may produce 200 plums. That is .3 cents a plum. The farmer pays X per bushel to a picker. He pays X to the truck who takes it to the stores and he pays X in taxes. The store is only offering so much for those plums knowing some will rot. The store pays a person to set the produce out and the person at check out. The store also pays taxes. Before we know it, that .3 cent plum is worth .75 cents. 7 peoples salary. The 7th is the government who taxed that plum several times over. The farmer, the truck driver and the company he works for, the store and all the workers including the one who picked the fruit.
Even the dollar tree store is now $1.25. That is a 25% increase, right?
The smaller the ticket price, the more price changes will fluctuate though.
A store like a 'dollar store' type of business wants to keep things simple for their transactions... so when they need to raise prices, they don't want to make an item $1.11. On a $1 item, they may just mark it up to the next 25 cents.
Someone isn't going to change their buying habits if an item is $1.25 instead of $1.11.... but if that $100 pair of shoes is $125, instead of $111... that may cause some people to shop around. I am sure you are just being comical with the dollar tree example, but using small ticket items as examples in discussion of prices increases is typically a bad idea.

@@jmullis78ify sounds like your place is the place to be for dinner tonight
The latest Consumer Price Index report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows beef and veal prices are up 7.7% compared to January 2023. More specifically, ground beef is up 5.5%, beef roasts 6.7%, and beef steaks are up 10.7%.
This comes a week after the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) warned we could soon see record-high beef prices.
So what’s behind the price jump? Like we previously saw with egg prices (2023 Avian Flu crisis), supply is largely to blame.
At the start of the year, there were 87.2 million cattle and calves in the U.S., AFBF economist Bernt Nelson explains. While that sounds like plenty to support U.S. beef demands, Nelson notes that’s the lowest inventory to start a year since 1951, when estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture put the overall count at 82.08 million.
The last time the U.S. experienced such a dip was in 2014 when, according to AFBF, cattle inventory fell to 88.24 million.
Unlike what happened with eggs, the latest limited supply isn’t being caused by illness among cattle.
Instead, experts from the Farm Bureau point to drought conditions and the rising costs of supplies to maintain herds. Both have led to farmers reducing their herd sizes, Nelson explains.
“The latest cattle numbers are a stark reminder of the challenges facing America’s farmers and ranchers,” said AFBF President Zippy Duvall in a press release last week. “Severe weather, high inflation and geopolitical uncertainty are taking a toll on farmers across the country, and families will see the effects in their grocery bills.”
When we last saw cattle counts dip in 2014, beef prices hit a record high in 2014. Prices dropped in the years after, jumping again in 2020, only to fall later that year. Since early 2021, beef prices have continued to climb.
As for why beef prices are relatively low at the stores now, Nelson points to a high level of beef production. Higher prices may not slow consumers much though, according to Kansas State University’s Meat Demand Monitor. A survey of more than 2,000 respondents found an increased willingness to pay higher prices on beef products at the grocery store between November and December 2023. A recent report from Wells Fargo also noted that retailers have noticed consumers are “more enthusiastic about buying steak when the package price is under $10 per pound.”
However, more respondents (31% more than in November) rank price among the leading aspects they take into consideration when it comes to purchasing protein, the Meat Demand Monitor reports.
It’s worth noting that beef prices have dipped marginally since December, coming down about 0.3%, according to the latest CPI. Data from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association shows wholesale prices across various cuts of beef have come down slightly through the first weeks of February, but are higher than prices we saw during the same period of 2023.
------ as for your local store going from $16 to $40... that is an anecdotal example. Difference in price could be because: You are being disingenuous and those prices are made up, the price was on two different cuts of meat (type, weight, etc), a very local supply chain issue that raised price temporarily in your local area, a misprinted sticker price on an item (I have seen it), etc). This is NOT the national average experience on beef prices though.
Gotta love a good fact check that is also false.
😅😅😅😅🤭🤭🤭🤭
Dislike the video then
IT's not 'false' though... the NATIONAL average of all Food & Non-alcoholic Beverages, from all points of sale in the US (private, corporate, bulk, etc) since 2020, has been around 21-25%. Some products skew higher, like Eggs at 50%, Flour & Sugar at 33%, but the average of everything is 21-25%. Of course what 'you' buy and where 'you' buy it can also differ from the average.
I've seen the same food item, in two different chain grocery stores, differ by more than 30%. Of course while not the normal experience, this does happen. I have had to shop around and change where I buy certain items, or eliminate certain items entirely in favor of a different option.
Your right every sight you look that are fact checking are lying

Food has definitely tripled
I remeber a five dozen box of eggs costing 50 bucks not to long ago. Used to be 14
Article - March 2024
In 2023, egg prices hit an all-time high, topping out at about $7 per dozen in some parts of the country. That number was reached thanks to a perfect storm of inflation and a severe bird flu epidemic. Fortunately, by mid-summer, prices had returned to somewhat normal rates. But, according to new reports, we may be headed for yet another expensive egg season, just in time for Easter.
According to Nerdwallet, egg prices are once again on the rise due to another outbreak of bird flu and inclement weather. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that " highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) viruses have been detected in U.S. wild aquatic birds, commercial poultry, and backyard or hobbyist flocks beginning in January 2022." To date, it has affected more than 82 million birds across 48 states.
Nerdwallet pointed to the latest Consumer Price Index, which showed that egg prices increased 5.8% from January to February alone. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) additionally shows that the average cost of a dozen Grade A eggs rose from $2.52 in January to $3 in February. And all this is happening just a week before the Easter holiday, a time when people purchase around 180 million eggs a year, according to Business Insider.
Egg Smuggling Is on the Rise at the US Border as Prices Soar
"Typically, as we go into Easter, you see a lot of promotional activity and ads for Easter," Brian Moscogiuri, a global trade strategist at Eggs Unlimited, shared with Axios. "We're not seeing as much of that this year because of those price levels that we're coming off of."
The good news is, as Moscogiuri noted, the demand for eggs usually sharply falls after Easter, rising only again during the winter holidays. Additionally, the USDA's Food Price Outlook for 2024 reported that although all food prices are "predicted to increase 2.9 percent, with a prediction interval of 0.5 to 5.3 percent," in general, "food prices are expected to continue to decelerate in 2024." The report added that egg prices are predicted to decrease 2.8 percent in 2024, "with a prediction interval of -17.2 to 14.6 percent." This wide prediction, the USDA said, reflects the "volatility in retail egg prices." But hey, at least it's better than 2023. Right?
Daily signal you're fired
I don’t think Trump meant food prices triples *on average*. I think he meant some staple food items have tripled (e.g. a burger).
He did but he was right
Daily signal is gaslighting you
You have to look at specific industries though. Some have had specific issues, like Eggs. From 2020, where the adjusted-for-inflation price was $2.09 per dozen grade A eggs, the price rose to $2.86 in 2022 (which by the non-adjusted prices was an increase of about 50%). In 2023 the combo of inflation and an bad round of avian flu circulating, caused egg prices to spike. This happened again in very early 2024, with prices dropping later to more 2022-ish levels.
"Unlike what happened with eggs, the latest limited supply isn’t being caused by illness among cattle.
Instead, experts from the Farm Bureau point to drought conditions and the rising costs of supplies to maintain herds. Both have led to farmers reducing their herd sizes, Nelson explains.

------- So, Herd sizes shrink = less supply. Same amount of people eating beef = Same Demand. When Supply goes down in comparison to Demand, prices go up. Ad inflation to the mix, and prices go up a lot.
eggs too. That a big one. Dollar menus also don't exist anyjore i think. Lot of other sstaples have also really increased in price.
During trumps last months in office I could get a 60 count box of eggs for $5. That same box went up to around $14 once biden took office
One of the big drivers of inflation was the Covid checks aka Trump Checks. Everyone got them, regardless of their financial or vocational situation at the time. It's basic economics that this will cause massive inflation, which it did. There's a lot to place blame on Biden but Trump shares a great deal of it. Mishandled the pandemic during both presidencies.
Fact Check (Straight from US Inflation Calculator - Egg Prices Adjusted For Inflation) (Listed as Egg Price in Year/Average Annual Egg CPI/Adjusted For Inflation in 2022 dollars)
Category: Eggs (Grade A, Large, Per Dozen)
Trump's last year in office - 2020 - $1.51 / 212.542 CPI / $2.09
Biden's first year in office - 2021 - $1.67 / 222.074 CPI / $2.21
So, adjusted for your 60 count box (assuming no discount for buying at a 5 dozen bulk rate):
Cost of 60 eggs in 2020 - $10.45
Cost of 60 eggs in 2021 - $11.05
So, you are either being disingenuous, you are remembering prices from the wrong years, or the stores you are buying from had some bizarre pricing.... because nationally, a price of $5 for 60 eggs hasn't bee seen since..... 2002 where the 'pre inflation adjusted price was $1.03 per dozen. In 2022 a notable markup on eggs was seen pushing the price to $2.86.. which is close to the $14 price you state. But your $5 price in 2020, I call bullshit on, unless it was some local trend on the market that skewed WAY different than the average.
The following formula shows how to adjust egg prices for inflation:
1980 Eggs Price x (2022 CPI for Eggs / 1980 CPI for Eggs) = Adjusted Eggs Price in 2022 Dollars
In 2023, egg prices hit an all-time high, topping out at about $7 per dozen in some parts of the country. That number was reached thanks to a perfect storm of inflation and a severe bird flu epidemic. Fortunately, by mid-summer, prices had returned to somewhat normal rates. But, according to new reports, we may be headed for yet another expensive egg season, just in time for Easter. (From an article dated March 2024)
And the Democrats paint Trump as a liar what a bunch of hypocites

why is the news so disingenuous about every single thing trump says? its disgusting.
21% since “2021” is the catch there
OH! So like a 21% increase isnt bad at all tho...😂
Definitely not 100% or 200% or 300%
Thank god we know that Trump is “lying” now! It’s only doubled since he took office, whew. I was so afraid that it was tripled but that’s me just believing my stupid little lying eyes. But I can rest assured it’s only 21% increase (allegedly) and I can sleep well knowing Trump has been outed as a filthy liar now!!!! But democracy is at stake here so who am I to complain about the price hike and the constant gaslighting from our president, right? 😂
I can assure you food prices realistically are not only up 21%.
One calls +20 as +100 and -20 and -100. The other calls -20 as +100 and +20 as -100. An educated crowd knows that one is an exaggeration and the other is a lie. The pundits figure out a perspective where the exaggeration is rebranded as a lie, and spend all the time justifying their rebranding. But when asked "what about calling -20 a +100", the response is "We are not going to engage with absurdities, when someone is calling 20 as 100".
Respect your own intelligence and vote for the right liar.
Well put. Lying is politics 101 but we have to be able to recognize an exaggeration from an outright lie. They frame exaggerations as lies and most people buy into that, but one is infinitely worse than the other. I’d rather have someone exaggerate a problem than lie directly to my face and tell me not to believe my eyes. Thats just me though
I was paying .98 cents/ per pound for onions in 2020 but now they cost $1.44/per pound. You have to factor in shrinkage. Yes, a big box of fish crackers cost exactly the same price but that big box is 1/3 smaller. I could buy a gallon of milk for $1.99 back in 2020 but now I am paying nearly $3.00. January's heating bill was $380. but in past winters with the same duration of below 0 I paid $240. On a long enough timeline a person can figure it out. If you started living on your own in 2022, you wouldn't know the difference. A normal cost of living might go up 3% every year. In 4 years that would mean we pay 12% more from the start to the end of the Biden administration. 12% can be reasonable but the 21% is not.
I’m telling you for a fact…I like to make a dish that calls for boneless pork ribs. I have made it for years. When Biden inflation began the price of these ribs has indeed tripled and now quadrupled. And that’s just one thing! The list goes on!!

Biden went poopy.
I guess Trump should have said, Iran's ability to fund terrorism was greatly reduced under his administration. And that is the truth. He should choose his words better. It was not a lie, just over stated.
Yes agreed. I thought that when he said it live. They waste their time fact checkign that there was no funding to terror during his presidency, which everybody knew was not fully true. It was weakened because iran had overall less money, but there’s always room in the whatever budget they have for some hamas action. What they need to talk about is why those groups were essentially dormant during his presidency. Instead we’re stuck on a semantics game because he overstated/exaggerated his claim. His strategy was effective for weakening hezbollah and hamas, but sadly it’s getting over shadowed by that 0 funding claim
Trump is right about the food. So many things have doubled and those things tend to be the everyday buys. But when you average that with other foods that didn't increase as much, that's why you see a low "average" overall.
I actually appreciated this video out of most i have seen. At least you presented for both rather than the rediculous narrative that Biden is just old and Trump lies....Biden deffinitely had false claims.
I live in Texas and when he said border patrol endorsed him I knew for a motherf****** fact that that was a damn lie😂😂 as soon as you said it hands down I was like" lies"
100 dollars worth of food 4 years ago are cost 400 dollars today.
If you look at any app that lets you reorder or rebuy a purchase from the past. You can see the changes in price
From what I’m seeing Trump exaggerated which is super normal for him and Biden flat out lied

You have to remember, this is an average of ALL 'Food & Non Alcoholic Beverages' sold across the US, no only in private stores, but bulk, corporate, etc. Not every type of item has increased by the same amount. Beef is up around 20%. Eggs around 50%. Carbonated Beverages around 32%. Canned Fruit & Veg around 32%. Flour & Sugar around 30%. Those are some of the highest increases since 2020. When all food and non-alcoholic beverages are totalled together, it's somewhere in the 21-25% range as an average.
Where 'you' shop, and the type of items 'you' buy may differ
Food prices are close to double and more than double on many food items in Wesf Michigan
Why did you mark the food prices false when the numbers say its true.
Why did you add the word “Very” to President Biden’s quote?
When Trump says they've doubled, tripled and quadrupled in some instances I took that as individual items like Chicken Wings for instance which used to be the cheapest part of the chicken with exception to the gizzards and on pare with livers but now is the most expensive part of the chicken surpassing breasts. There are quite a few foods I used to buy I don't buy anymore because they were once cheap and now are outrageous. Under Trump I was giving $1-$1.29 for a head of lettuce and $0.29-$049 a pound for cabbage heads. My iceberg lettuce head is $2 and up, romaine is double what it used to be and cabbage which is another poor man's food is $0.89 a pound and up. Cilantro used to cost $0.49 as did a bunch usually around 7 or 8 green onions. Now there's 5 green onions in a bunch and they cost about double what they used to at around $0.89 and up per bunch. That's another thing that isn't really being mentioned: When Covid hit we had a horrible distribution problem. Certain products like fresh meats were hardly being processed at the plants which caused a huge issue. During that time many restaurants and stores began cutting the amount of an item so that steaks which once weighed 20 ounces were now 14-16 ounces and steaks that were once 8 ounces are now 4-6 ounces. It may not seem like a big deal but the prices raised instead of going down with the portion sizes. The end result is what we have now which is a Texas Roadhouse meal under Trump was a 20 ounce ribeye for around $20 which included two sides. Now that steak is 16 ounces at my local Texas Roadhouses Pikeville, Kentucky, Bristol, Tennessee and Lynchburg Virginia but at least they raised the price to $26+
In a world where fresh water supply is becoming a more pressing issue, the prices and availability of items that use the most water in their growing season will see the most price increase.
You have to look at how much water an item uses over it's 'lifetime of growth'.
Beef - 1850 gallons//lb
Chocolate (cocoa bean)- 2064 gallons/lb
Chicken - 519 gallons/lb
Banana - 94.5 galllons/lb
Cabbage - 28.5 gallons/lb
as some examples. Meat products are always going o be some of the most water intensive items to produce. Some items, like chocolate, can even outpace them. In comparison, produce, while water intensive, is more reasonable than meat to produce. Location also plays a factor, in that a massive segment of US growing takes place in the US Southwest... an area that is seeing the worst effects of increasing drought conditions as the years move on. Irrigating crops in an area here water is harder to obtain, will skew the resulting prices f producing that product. Overall, inflation is affecting the prices more than it did in 2020, but certain products are skewing higher in that regard (like Eggs - because of a 2023 Avian flu crises).
With each industry... beef, cabbage, etc... you have to look at each one to see why prices specifically might differ from the 'average' inflation'. Beef is going up at a steadier rate, because farmers are shrinking heir herds in response to cost of resources to supply the cattle, severe weather condition increasing, and geo-political conditions growing more stressed. As for why cabbage, specifically, may be skewing higher, I haven't looked into that at this point. In general most produce that uses a high amount of water is going to skew higher than a low-water crop.
I do know that if fresh water keeps becoming a more scarce resource... products like Nuts and Chocolate, may become delicacies that future generations may not commonly see, due to the cost of producing them.
@@KeithDCanada Just out of curiosity, where abouts are you located?
THis is so helpful. Can you do more?
What about when trump claimed post-birth abortion😂
What??? Biden administration pushed for virginia officials to sign a bill that would allow abortion up to 9 months and even euthanize newborns fresh out of the whom.
Trump says there should be an abortion pill, and that he does not support aborting babies that have already developed hearts, brains, and nerves. Nice try 😂
Yeah that’s an actual lie they could have fact check but instead they focused on his exaggerations, which weren’t lies. The Grocery and hamas claims were a bit exaggerated but still overwhelmingly true. They focus on the worst shit with him I swear. Nobody gives a fuck about him saying groceries have tripled when it’s, by their estimation, only doubled? Like who cares, it’s still increased at an insane rate.
False. Grocery store prices increased statistically by 25% since Jan 2020 while the real wage has increased by 0.5%. That's why it feels like prices have doubled or more in some areas. And honestly I wonder how much of the "only 25% increase" has been manipulated for political purposes.
Lying to us, on this post. Price of the same groceries, per item, bought in 2020: 158.76 Same items purchased at Walmart, in June of this year: 246.86.
Food prices are up WAAAY more than 20%. Do these people think we can’t add? We are AT THE DAMN STORE. WE SEE THE PRICES! Ugh.
I disagree with food cost. What I spent as a single mother under Trump $100 would last the 3 of us well. I have to spend $300 to get the same groceries and as a single disabled mother receiving no help from their father I go without taking medicine so I can pay for my children’s food while all I can eat is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the past 3 years.
Just so you know, when you corrected the abortion laws you were incorrect. Post birth abortion (infanticide) is a crime and is illegal in all 50 states. When you say 8-9 month abortions are legal you are not wrong, but misleading. Abortions which take place after 21 weeks (less than 1 percent of abortions) are very rare and are usually, not always , to save the mother. Although whether abortion should be available to a mother at risk is a debated topic, it should definitely be stated that most late abortions are for the mothers safety.
Why is boarder security endorsing anyone? Who cares what boarder security thinks. Never in my long life (in Canada) has anyone ever discussed or cared what boarder security thinks.
Keep going you can get over 20
The idea! The idea! And by the way! And by the way! Hey, I have an idea: stop lying, joe.
You are 1 True American & I Love that. Thank You. 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
Hammas was non-existent when Trump was in office.
False 😂
No they've been around before 2005 even i think
They existed, just were under underfunded and respected us back then, now biden let the cash flow and messed his diaper that funded and emboldened them, like Russia, China and n.k.
ahhhh no HAMAS has been in power for several years. They just did not dare to do an Oct 7 style attack while Trump was in office
I think OP means they were non factors. For the most part they were dormant, you Rarely heard anything about them from 2016-2020. Definitely were not as powerful and influential as they are now
Food prices have gone up so ridiculously in all my 70 years i know that. I shop once a month and im amazed everytime and that's one reason why i want Biden out and i could go on. Maybe i can eat again if Trump wins
Who cares? You know what... learn to love and forget how to hate. Ozzy right I am just hearing the same old humans going on about same old things.
The whole “we are not for late term abortion” is the same argument they had 15 years ago with elective abortion…and 40 years ago when they said abortions would be rare and only in the case where a mother or her baby was going to die
Used to buy eggs for 59 cents now over 3 dollars. Over triple if I figured it right...
yes. food prices are 21% increase BUT it sure feels like food doubled to 50 % up
The federal reserve of St. Louis is the best source they could get? 😂😂😂😂😂
Food prices have for sure tripled... at least everywhere i've seen
When he said no money for hamas he said for terror so i just fact checked the fact check
Trump was not commenting that all food prices tripled as we can see from his statement doubled, and tripled, and quadrupled. But there are foods that doubled in price, and some that tripled and some that quadrupled. I work in a supermarket and have seen some that doubled and tripled, not sure though of any that quadupled.
i mean maybe some eggs might have quadrupled in a few places. They seem to really be getting the stick on this one.
:25 not in Arizona! It's doubled at least.
A fact checker that needs to be checked......
Some food has doubled tripled
I’ve seen $8 milk in NYC 😂
Fack checkers ,😅really?
Geeesh
Its a 21% price increase for food since 2020.
Not a 21% price increase since yall were a kids 🙄
Everyone remember the dollar menu but nobody seems to remember that its been gone for like 10 or so years in some mcdonalds
You’re trying way too hard to justify 21% in 4 years.
Federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009. A 21% increase in the last 4 years alone is huge to some people. It may not impact you, but it’s good to know you don’t care about your fellow Americans.
@@Emerica771 when did I justify anything?
@@AFed69 the amount of comments you made talking about it only being 21% within 4 years.. don’t be a clown.
Trump 2024 😎🇺🇸
Finally, a non biased fact check. TLDR both sides lied.
Trump exaggerates. Biden flat out lies.
FALSE Even SNOPES (who screamed agianst Trump for YEARS) finally admitted the calling N@zis "very fine people " is FALSE on 25 Jun 2024
*Autocrats like Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have this one trait in common:*
_If all it took to conquer the entire world were for either one of them to tell the truth just once,_
_I am quite certain that neither one of them could do it._ - j q t -
vladimir putin is a dictator. Our Constitution provides us protection from dictators. And in the event of a coup the american people would rise up. I think what they do have in common is that they are egomaniacs. I hate both the candidates, but odds are one of them will be the next president. we can only guess who is running the country now because Biden is incapable. which way are we less screwed?
