I guess voting in a billionaire and expecting him to understand how his actions affect working Americans was too much to ask.

@dale74 400%? Were you living in Argentina?

@SunshineGirl eggs went from $0.99 to $7.99 in less than two years.

Bread the cheap kind went from $0.89-$2.99

Food prices impact the poor the most.

@dale74 They do affect the poor most harshly, which is why it is important to retain the social security net to catch the most vulnerable. But prices of these commodities are affected by economic shocks (bird flu, war in Ukraine) that national politicians can only react to, not control.

@SunshineGirl I agree but I do know many people who are capable of working and choose not to

As a matter of fact I know I've got at least six cousins three of which don't work at all live in government housing and receive all of the benefits.
I have another cousin in his wife who received food stamps and free health insurance from the government yet he runs an auto shop out of his house and told me he normally does about 200,000 a year doesn't report any of it his wife does work but most of hers is home health and she works for several wealthy people who basically pay her out of pocket so they literally report next to no income
