Grocery Prices Are Still Starving Voters Budgets

More bad news for Joe Biden as we move closer to November. A new survey shows that 89% of voters say that grocery prices are still a major problem.

Since Biden took office, grocery prices have surged at least 26%, and even much more for some items.

"It's very clear, 'Bidenomics' has broken people" said James Quintero, policy director with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, "And if you look at the data, it's very clear that all of the price hikes are putting major pressure on family budgets."

But that's not the spin coming from the White House, which has spent over 3 years trying to avoid accountability by trying to blame the sky high prices on 'corporate greed'.

"The federal reserve bank of San Francisco recently published a study that found corporate greed was not driving inflation" Quintero told KTRH, "In fact, it was more attributable to bad policy."

Which has been the case with just about everything else under this administration. The average 4 person family is now spending $1,300 a month - just on groceries.

"Bidenomics has failed in nearly every respect except one" noted Quintero, "And that is, it has proven again that socialism doesn't work."

The only way to change it, is to make a change come November.
