Groceries have tripled around here. Hardly ever eat out anymore. Almost always disappointed in value when we do.

[@boydstanley6925]

That is Called Price Gouging The United States People. McDonald's has Made $14 Billion dollars in Profit this Year So Far. Have you Watched the Stock Market and there Record HI for the Last 31/2 years. Them Record High are From Price Gouging The American People for Profit. Under Trump the Stock Market had all times Low in the Stock market. You Don't have to be a Genius to figure this out. And trump has Never been a Genius! A Genius of Bankruptcies

Tell that to the people of Flint.

I read, that landowners have ro register EVERY water source by a certain date, otherwise they lose all rights to them. If that isn't overreach, I don't know what is.

[@williamwilliams7565]

They're not $4.49. that's another lie raskins can you ever tell the damn truth?

[@MKats1952]

10 piece chicken McNuggets are $4.79 ……. So, fry him over .30 cents, lol

[@stephengiunta1564]

I just checked GrubHub here in Tampa. A 6 piece is 3.99. So, grow the #### up. And view this like an adult and not a five year old.

[@sleepydoppy8516]

I just paid 4.69 for a large fry

[@MKats1952]

@@NickyM1964 yep, and all the profits to the owners. Majority of owners are millionaires……. I’m pretty sure they don’t spread their 40% increase to their employees

[@Americaisgreat1-w3f]

You have to be a corrupt politician in order to afford the trash at McDonald's!!

[@matthewst537]

Now this is what’s important we don’t need climate we just need chicken nuggets for a proper price

[@hib723]

Is there a kosher McDonald’s in DC for all the lobbyists and lawyers and the Biden cabinet?

[@THEDYLANMURPHY]

Does Raskin realize a 20 piece used to be 5 bucks? lol

[@MrFetusPretzel]

It's a shame that raskin hasn't succumbed to his health issues yet

[@websitemartian]

cmon guys this isnt a healthy position ...

[@jamiewoods9222]

@websitemartian OK I'll withdraw my comment. It's not very Christian of me. Sorry. I wish everyone we'll. Even if I dislike them. I'm sorry for that comment.

Seriously! Ruskin is arguing about the price of chicken nuggets at McDonalds? I bought 3 happy meals a week or so ago and paid $15. It’s ridiculous.

[@FubVPQTP]

Tell that for a family of 6 people..

[@rustyshackleford4942]

Cancer in 2024 is weak. Raskin is still here

[@BrianRandolph-jt5vp]

Ratskins doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

[@samyost9592]

Agreed Ratskin s people probably have a stake in McD s.Also Mcdonalds pays the IDF to kill people now(free meals/discounts).For shame

[@jonk6137]

Raskins is a liar there is not a 10 pc nugget meal anywhere in the country that is 4.99, I eat mcd 3 or more times a week and I can assure that

[@MKats1952]

Well, here in NJ, 10 pieces is $4.79

[@boydstanley6925]

That would be All of the Donating to The Republican Party Buddy. The EPA doesn't bother The Standard Citizens.

[@terriehoelting7462]

I love all the things my taxes cover and have never had an issue paying them. I do have an issue with a career politician that votes to cut taxes for rich people but not myself. How about let the millionaires pay their share.

[@THEDYLANMURPHY]

Yeah I don't think the rest of America has appreciated the spending of their taxes, and the amount that we are paying. The prices in the grocery stores, gas stations, tire shops, anywhere that contains a price tag.

[@samuelfink4799]

I seriously doubt Prison Mike would lower himself enough to ever eat a chicken nugget from McDonald’s .

[@MichaelJohnson-xv3po]

Idk about that it's almost 10 buck here just for nuggets

[@user-sx3ov5nv8b]

Don't agree with this at all. The EPA is empowered by Congress to control pollution, not to look at the cost of doing so in terms of the effect on prices. If Congress wants the EPA to take that into account, it should change the language of the law, not berate the administrator for following a supposedly inadequate law--a law written by Congress and signed by the President. An analogy: The school board attacks a teacher for not teaching geography, when "geography" is not part of the official curriculum passed by the school board. Look at the two-by-four in your own eye.

[@JeffLeasure]

I used to eat McDonalds too much... Now, hardly at all... But, I guarantee you that when I do eat there, what used to cost less than $9.00 is now around $15.00 after all the deals on the app. More BS from the dems! Great job Raskin!

[@truthseekerforever9122]

I cannot stand Jamie Raskin.

[@MKats1952]

Yeah, because he’s smarter than you!

[@jenniferb5739]

I vacillate between being in awe of the depth of his knowledge and his absolute command of the Constitution; and being annoyed by how condescending he can be - even if he may be right.

[@truthseekerforever9122]
