Biden: There’s ‘Corporate Greed,’ But People ‘Have the Money to Spend’ on More Expensive Groceries
Breitbart ^ | 05/08/2024 | Ian hatchett

During an interview aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” President Joe Biden stated that while “corporate greed” has caused an increase in the amount of money people have to spend on groceries and people feel real pain from the cost of groceries and food and he’s angry people have to spend more, “if you take a look at what people have, they have the money to spend.”

Host Erin Burnett said, “[T]here’s real pain. Grocery prices are up 30% — more than 30% since the beginning of the pandemic, and people are spending more on food and groceries than they have at any time really in the past 30 years. That’s a real day-to-day pain that people –.”

>> Now I have to remember my rages at the news clips of him endanger my own life by stroke or heart attack leaving me half dead.

That’s a good point.
It’s hard not to hot react — but maintaining my self control is the wise course of action.

Many things have doubled in price in just a few years.

Wages have not doubled in those years.

People like to eat rather than starve.

Well that makes all of us, that is Americans and legal immigrants who aren’t on welfare (legal immigrants have to have a sponsor who is financially responsible for them). $85 is pretty much standard nowadays, and I’m not buying steak or wine or something else that extravagant.

Yipes. Thank you for your advice and concern.
Maybe I need some of the ommmmmmmmm stuff.

Or just Psalms and the rest of the Bible and prayers.

They say in reducing stress it’s good to not check the bad news online every few minutes. Tough one for a political junkie.

Best

Thanks for your concern and advice.

The thing people have said before is still true: Your anger doesn’t affect the other guy, it just hurts you.

Hard to live by.

For example, the whole idea of this notion that Sen. Casey (D-PA) talks about shrinkflation. … For example, a Snickers bar, they did a thing, and it’s like 20% less for the same price. That’s corporate greed, that’s corporate greed.

No, that is a corporation trying to retain market share.

Corporate greed is only possible where there is little or no competition.

There are lots of other candy bars on the market.

No, this is inflation and only one entity can create inflation and that is the entity that has the power to create money.

The Federal Government.

Gee, I wonder who is in charge of the Federal Government.

I have never loathed a US president as much as Biden. He boils my blood everytime I see him. It reminds me of the section in the novel 1984 where people are allowed the daily two minutes of hate. AHH!

Yeah, Joe, because we ALL get 10% of every deal that goes down around us.

Even ramen packets have doubled in price at every store in my area this year.

There was no $8,000 check and he went on and on about how much money that is. But Hunter said on Joe’s couch that $5 Million is Pennies.

No , Joe Biden is not a mere nerdy pawn. I remember when he was first elected to the senate, age 28 or thereabouts. He was touted then as “the most liberal of the new Senate freshmen.”

No joke.
