    (Notice how no one from the Harris camp is crowing how good "Bienomics" is
    now? You'd think they would during the anointed one's attempt.)

    Food prices skyrocket under 'Kamalanomics'-haven't been this bad since the
    Carter administration

    The cost of "food at home" has increased by over 21 percent since Biden
    and Harris took over the White House.

    Americans are experiencing the consequences of increased grocery prices
    under the economic policies of the Biden-Harris administration. The cost
    of food has not been this high since the Carter administration.

    Basic standard groceries - the cost of "food at home" - has increased by
    over 21 percent since Biden and Harris took over the White House.
    Inflation has been a top concern for Americans, with 77 percent of voters
    viewing it as a "very important issue" heading into the 2024 election,
    according to a recent YouGov poll.

    Grocery prices have risen significantly under Harris's time in the White
    House, despite the White House's attempts to minimize the impact of recent
    price increases. Harris was instrumental in the legislative agenda that
    resulted in this outcome. Her tie-breaking votes in the Senate were
    instrumental in the passage of trillions of dollars in expenditure, which
    many economists believe contributed to the inflation crisis, Breitbart
    News reported.

    Food inflation has increased more over the first 42 months of the
    Biden-Harris administration than it has under any other president since
    Jimmy Carter, and is the third-largest increase over the first three and a
    half years of a presidential term behind Nixon's second term and Carter's
    record, according to data dating back to 1952.

    In comparison, during the first 42 months of Donald Trump's presidency,
    grocery costs increased by just 6.3 percent.

    Inflation is still on the rise and VP Kamala Harris, the presumptive
    Democratic presidential nominee, will have to answer for her economic
    track record as she attempts to secure the presidency in November.

    To be honest, you can argue you can have meaningful amounts of inflation in a healthy economy. The key for that to happen is that people's income increases with prices so families' purchasing power stays the same. Obviously not what is happening here, though.

    It sounds to me like a good moment for americans with land to retreat away from the economy for a while and run a self-sustainable farm, Amish style. The way things are going, it will be hard to have a meaningful exchange of goods and services in a matter of years, ie. getting a job won't be enough for making a living anymore.
