Looks like President Biden’s grand plan to curb inflation is to turn food grocers into common criminals. While he was busy fumbling through a debate and giving another lackluster interview to George Stephanopoulos, his administration quietly rolled out a scheme to solve inflation by threatening grocery store owners with jail time for so-called “price gouging.”
That’s right, Biden and 31 State Attorney Generals are now aiming their economic incompetence at grocery store owners. Because when in doubt, blame someone else, right Joe? Of course, the skyrocketing food prices have nothing to do with mishandling the economy; it’s the grocery stores’ fault, naturally.
In a world where the Biden administration reigns supreme, apparently, stores should pay the price for a problem they didn’t create. Families are struggling with high grocery costs, but instead of addressing the root causes of inflation—which might involve looking in a mirror—they’ve decided to shackle grocers with legal threats. Adding comedy to this tragic farce, Biden unveiled his plan to throw an extra $2,000 at low-income families through even more spending on SNAP and a new summer EBT program. Because nothing says ‘fiscal responsibility’ like flooding the economy with dollars.
Let’s see the numbers. Inflation under Biden’s leadership averaged over five percent, a stark contrast to the sub-two percent inflation rates during Trump’s time. Thanks to Bidenomics, prices across the board have jumped 17.3 percent, with food alone surging by 20.2 percent. Rent? Up 19 percent. Electricity? A staggering 25 percent hike. Meanwhile, Biden touts himself as the hero focusing on lowering costs for Americans. Reality, ladies and gentlemen, paints a starkly different picture.
Even the American Farm Bureau’s Fourth of July survey highlighted this insanity, noting that Americans are coughing up 30 percent more for their BBQ staples compared to five years ago when life was less, well, inflated. The cost per person has topped $7, a record that’s perfectly in line with the inflationary chaos wreaked over the past few years.

Of course, Biden champions his so-called achievements, claiming miraculous job creation and a hefty cut in the federal budget. The Washington Post, no bastion of conservatism, labeled these claims as highly misleading. Moody’s Investors Service downgraded the outlook on government spending from stable to negative, citing high interest rates and deficits as Biden’s lasting legacy.
So, next time Biden looks in the mirror and tries to find someone to blame for the financial upheaval, he might just see the culprit staring back at him. Meanwhile, Americans pay the price—literally and figuratively—for a president who’s more interested in finger-pointing than fixing the problems he’s largely created.
