Clyburn: Biden ‘Couldn’t Do Anything About’ Grocery Prices

Ian Hanchett 23 Jul 2024

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) argued that “People focused on the rising price of food,” but President Joe Biden “couldn’t do anything about” grocery prices.

Clyburn said, “People focused on the rising price of food, yes. But he countered that — he couldn’t do anything about those grocery prices, but he could do something about the pharmaceutical prices. And he drove down the price of pharmaceuticals in a way that no president has ever done. And, once again, when Harry Truman left the presidency, he said the one thing that he regretted was not being able to deliver universal health care for everybody. Joe Biden took up that mantle, passed through Barack Obama with the Affordable Care Act, and look what he did, starting January, $2,000 a year would be the max that people on Medicare will be paying for pharmaceuticals, no matter if the medicine cost $10,000 a month. He has done what is necessary to put a ceiling on the cost of insulin. My late wife was paying $600 a month for her insulin, being a four-shot-a-day diabetic. That, today, the top [is] $35 a month. So, if you take it in silos, it’s one thing. But if you take it all together, not being able to control grocery prices over here, but I can do something about medicine over here, and that was a net benefit to every family across America.”

Of course Biden could lower food price, and all prices, for that matter.
Allow more domestic oil production and restart the Keystone pipeline.
Fuel moves everything, when it goes up, prices go up.
Only 55/65% of oil is used for fuel, the rest is for every day products we use. so it's a double whammy.
Cylburn knows this and doesn't care, or doesn't think we know, or both.
It's really a no brainer.

Getting the EPA and Enviros off farmers' and truckers' asses would help, too!

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Funny how they want to hang everything on Trump, but let Biden skate.

I agree he has little to do with it. 

Except he passed his bone-headed trillion dollar spending deal.

At every turn he has implemented policies which have raised the cost of motor fuels.

Period.

Raise the cost of producing, transporting, feed stock material for manufacturing and packaging, and the price will go up to compensate for the increased expenses.

Yes, he did that, starting day one.

This is why the cost of everything is going up. Oil production is at record level, yet inflation persists. Why? When the government is printing trillions to finance the debt, it doesn’t matter how much energy you produce

Only sound fiscal and monetary policy will tame inflation.

Then why did Biden say he could?  If Clyburn is correct, then Biden is a liar.
