Groceries that cost $100 hundred dollars now cost $120 dollars? I’d like to know where these lackey propagandist do their shopping. Everything I buy cost two times or more what it did three years ago. The ruling class is out of control.

[@jgetscensored7837]

I spent 80 bucks on bacon, bananas, lunch meat, cheese, spinach and one tomato. Oh and I bought my kid some frozen waffles she wanted. Nearly $100 on seven things. Joe is trash

[@RealStephenSaunders]

Yeah and the fact the economy wasn’t as bad as Brandon said it was. Same as the way he held insulin law up until he was sworn in and costs so many people time and pain. Just power hungry ppl this was a look at what they think the American people are dumb enough to endure because they think they can spin this debate too!!

[@tammyslade1375]

One meal is $50 or more! 😡

No kidding. That $100.00 is more like $190.00 thank you for pointing Jake’s stupidity

That's using CPI inflation which excludes food and energy. Food inflation was much higher. CNN does not know basic economics..

[@kittykitty435]

The president doesn't haveuch to do with corporate greed! THAT'S why inflation is so bad. Maybe you haven't heard prices are off the charts because of corporate GREED! Their profits are up by 70%! That's on them! You people wouldn't know the truth if you tripped over it.
