| Can't Afford Groceries In Biden's America? Wall Street Journal Says Just Don't Eat! |
| 2023-02-19 |
| [WSJ] As many Americans struggle to put food on the table, The Wall Street Journal proposed an idea this week: Instead of Biden taking responsibility for his destructive public policy, you should just skip breakfast. Titled "To Save Money, Maybe You Should Skip Breakfast," the article analyzed three popular breakfast foods — eggs, juice, and cereal — and offered explanations for why they cost significantly more since last year. According to the Journal, eggs are up a whopping 70 percent, frozen orange juice is up more than 12 percent, and cereal is up 15 percent since just one year ago. Why the crippling increases? The explanations were as plentiful as they were diverse: avian flu, bad weather, citrus disease, dead chickens, and Vladimir Putin. Global food supply includes a myriad of liabilities and moving parts, and of course, a drop in supply will play in role in rising prices. But the Journal neglected to mention perhaps the most important contributor to Americans’ economic woes: Biden’s apparently limitless federal spending. Ukraine aid in 2022 alone totaled $113 billion, and Congress plans to send at least $47 billion more this coming year. Under Biden’s new $1.7 trillion spending spree, he plans to inject more dollars domestically into an economy still recovering from government-imposed Covid lockdowns. Appropriations include increased funding for food stamps, utility bill assistance, childcare, Medicaid, and more. |
