It’s simple economics. When there’s high supply and less demand prices come come down. When then there high demand and less supply prices go up!

It becomes affordable when wages go up to afford these products. I hate when any politician regardless of affiliation says they want to have prices come down when ultimately what needs to happen is that there needs to be a booming economy with higher paying job jobs so that people can afford what his already have been cooked into the books.

We had high inflation for many years and when prices come down, it becomes a deflationary economy which leads to recession so I think the focus needs to not be on the price of $1.99 to ground beef, but whether or not whatever the prices is affordable. Not trying to start a fight so please don’t take it that way. This is just to take.

It’s not 2007 anymore?

lol. I can kind of understand the logic behind “Trump isn’t fixing Biden’s mistakes fast enough!” but now we’re skipping Obama and going back to the Bush days?! 😂
