Over half of voters in key swing states said grocery prices are the top way inflation impacted their budget, Bloomberg reported Monday, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll:

A pound of ground beef now costs $5.23 on average, up from $3.89 in January 2020.

Coffee is up some $2 a pound. Prices for fresh fruits and vegetables are nearly 14% higher.

At one point, the price of a carton of eggs was triple its pre-pandemic price.

Yet Biden is obviously as to the REAL cost of things:

“During a speech on Monday, Biden bragged about the prices of turkey, gas, and air travel after the cost of the items actually increased under his leadership. ‘You know, from turkey, to air travel, to a tank of gas, costs went down,’ he said.

The average price per pound for whole frozen turkeys increased by 12 cents, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.”

I suspect the media are cooking his high poll numbers - it’s beyond me how ANYONE could vote for this idiot. He’s worse than Carter.

McDonald’s will take a hit for raising prices. But it’s not really their fault.

To better reflect this, I suggest they change the name of the ‘Big Mac’ to ‘Biden Burger’.

Curious where it’s 18 dollars at. Probably one of those lovely blue states.

If fast food isn’t CHEAP, then why go there?

For the service?

For the ambiance of the drive through?

When I worked at McDonald’s (1971-1973), $18 would buy 20 Big Macs, 20 small fries, and 20 small Cokes. There was no such thing as a combo meal; people ordered items individually.
