100% proof! It’s NOT inflation. It’s GREED-flation! Food and grocery prices are rising way higher than the normal rate of inflation. We’re being price-gouged!

Jeremy @jeremyct

My wife and I got into it last night about the grocery bill.
I pulled up an old Target order from February 2020.
28 items. $64.50.
Added every single one back to the cart just to see.
$158.30.
Same 28 items. Same store. Same cart.
$93.80 more.
In five years.
We didn't buy more.
Didn't upgrade anything.
Didn't add a single extra item.
Just needed the same things we always needed.
They told us inflation was transitory. They told us it was under control.
They told us the economy was strong.
Our cart didn't get any of those memos.
145% increase in five years.
Not one member of Congress has looked at a grocery receipt in decades.
And it shows.

MAGA doesn’t care. Until they realize that Trump doesn’t care about them.

THE PROBLEM ISN'T THAT TRUMP IS AN

THE PROBLEM IS THAT HIS SUPPORTERS DON'T CARE.
