Bidenomics: Fast Food Costs Soar — McChicken up 199%, Frosty up 111%, Taco Bell Burrito up 132%

Wendell Husebø 22 May 2024

Fast food is no longer healthy for your wallet. Common fast food favorites increased in price under President Joe Biden’s so-called Bidenomics.

Fast food inflation has a disparate impact across racial and ethnic groups due to different levels of fast food consumption. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 42.4 percent of non-Hispanic black adults consume fast food, compared with 37.6 percent of non-Hispanic white adults, 35.5 percent of Hispanic adults, and 30.6 percent of Asian adults.

The higher price tag of popular foods may be creating political problems for Biden. Thirty percent of black men and 11 percent of black women intend to vote for former President Donald Trump, a Wall Street Journal poll found, a dramatic increase from 2020.

Popeyes, Taco Bell, and Chipotle raised prices by at least 75 percent, according to the Food Institute:

    Popeyes Regular Mashed Potatoes & Gravy (+134 percent)
    Taco Bell’s Beefy 5-Layer Burrito (+132 percent)
    Wendy’s Small Frosty (+111 percent)
    Taco Bell Chalupa Supreme (+110 percent)
    Burger King Small Icee (+101 percent)
    Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunch (+100 percent)
    McDonalds McChicken (+199%)

Prices in nearly 500 California Chipotle restaurants spiked from six percent to seven percent during just the first week of April, the Journal reported.

Chick-fil-A raised prices by 10.6 percent between mid-February and mid-April, Gordon Haskett Research Advisors estimated, along with Starbucks by 7.8 percent and Shake Shack by 7.7 percent.

Most Americans Say We’re In A Recession—And Blame Biden

John Carney 22 May 2024

Most Americans say the U.S. is currently in an economic recession and the majority blames mismanagement by President Joe Biden.

Released on Wednesday, a Harris poll conducted for the Guardian newspaper indicates that nearly three in five Americans believe the U.S. is currently in an economic recession. A majority of respondents, 58 percent, attribute the perceived economic issues to what they see as mismanagement by the Biden administration.

Fifty-five percent of respondents think the economy is shrinking, and 56 percent believe the U.S. is in a recession, despite government reports that the economy has been growing since the second half of 2022.

The results are not just a reflection of political partisanship. While Republicans are more likely to say we’re in a recession, nearly half of Democrats also say we’re in a recession. The poll found that 67 percent of Republicans say the U.S. is in a recession, as do 49 percent of Democrats and 53 percent of independents.

The poll also highlights significant concern about inflation, with 72 percent of respondents indicating that rising prices are a major worry. And the concerns cross party lines. Eighty percent of Republicans say inflation is rising, as do 74 percent of independents and 60 percent of Democrats.

“What Americans are saying in this data is: ‘Economists may say things are getting better, but we’re not feeling it where I live.’ Unwinding four years of uncertainty takes time. Leaders have to understand this and bring the public along,” John Gerzema, CEO of the Harris Poll, told the Guardian.

Where in the US Constitution does it give the Federal Government power to regulate reproduction - either for abortions or for contraception?

We need to keep Big Government out of the womb and away from our groins.

How many more people would have gone to college had they known their college debt would eventually be cancelled?

Student College Debt forgiveness are Government subsidies to overpriced, non-performing universities.

The Government's distortion of college tuition's natural market price keeps college unaffordable and unattainable for many.

Unless the act is an Amendment to the Constitution, it will not represent a Constitutional Right to anything.

Such bullshit from a master.

It takes one to know one. And Fetterman certainly does seem to know them.

Well... I just won't go to such a place. But if I did, I would surely be packing.
What the law has to say has always been a bit of a gray area. What's up in the holler stays in the holler, after all...  :whistle:

When the law tells me not to defend myself, I'm not going to listen very hard.
With all appearances of complying with the rules where I am, I will do what I deem most prudent.
