Going food shopping feels like getting punched in the gut. You pick up a whole roasting chicken, hoping it will feed four, and see the price — more than $10 in many New York-area stores. A staggering $18 if the bird’s organic. Apples are close to $3 a pound. And forget buying a steak — you might have to take out a mortgage.
The Biden administration’s woke policies are to blame for food-flation, making your trip to the supermarket sheer agony. President Joe Biden is prioritizing climate preservation over your ability to feed your family affordably.
His policies are driving up the costs of fertilizer, energy and farm-to-store transportation. Add to that overall inflation driven by excessive federal-government spending. The result is sky-high food prices.
There’s no relief in sight. You can expect record-breaking food-flation through the rest of 2022, according to Bank of America market analysts.
On Tuesday, Biden spoke to the nation on what he billed as his plan to remedy inflation. But in fact, he just repeated the same list of unsubstantiated excuses for why prices keep rising.
