Kamala Harris admits food prices have surged under Biden: ‘Still too high’
By Victor Nava
Published Aug. 16, 2024, 8:17 p.m. ET
Vice President Kamala Harris admitted to a small group of supporters Friday that the cost of food has been “too high” under President Biden.

“We all know that prices went up during the pandemic when the supply chains shut down and failed, but our supply chains have now improved and prices are still too high,” the Democratic presidential nominee, 59, said during a campaign stop in Raleigh, NC, in a speech outlining her new economic plan.

“A loaf of bread costs 50% more today than it did before the pandemic,” Harris continued, validating one of former President Donald Trump’s central campaign messaging points, which is that the economy was in far better shape during his presidency.

“Ground beef is up almost 50%,” she added, prompting someone in the intimate audience to exclaim, “Wow.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Food prices have surged because of Biden/Harris energy policy and the doubling of fuel prices.
Tractors and harvesters don't run on unicorn farts. Double the main costs of production and the cost of transportation and the cost of energy used in processing, not to mention the cost of preserving perishable items, and the price of groceries will go up. Simple as that.

No greed needed, just a lot of stupid policy.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ever more dollars chasing fewer goods.



This is 100% government driven.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
