    Inflation was bad enough under Biden, now everything is worse. The other day at Walmart there were eggs for $8 a dozen, I’m told I was lucky to get that. Coffee was way up too, is this even before the tarrifs come into effect?

      Are the egg prices being high caused by inflation? I thought it was the bird flu outbreak that the USA has been struggling to control over the last 3 or 4 years.

        Well whatever the cause, things have gotten worse for average Americans in the last two weeks.

          Oh Absolutely, it’s going to be a rough few years I worry.

          I only brought it up because the economy is complicated, and most consumers don’t understand what causes prices to increase, when then leads them to vote against their own interests.

          I figure he best I can do is try to educate people where I can.
