CPI Report Shows Food Prices Rose Sharply in December

Wednesday, January 14, 2026

Expensive food, with prices increasing by the most in more than three years, and rents underscored the affordability crisis facing President Donald Trump, partly blamed by economists on the White House's policies, including sweeping import tariffs.

US tariffs are taxes on Americans. The Trump tariffs amount to an average tax increase per US household of $1,500 in 2026. They are the largest US tax increase as a percent of GDP since 1993. Impact tracker by @taxfoundation.bsky.social -->

Trumpers don't need to eat... they live on the Golden Glow that emanates from their Lard and Savior!

Just ask them.

Trumpf lovers have money for ammunition, firearms, horse paste, UFC tickets, and Trumpf cologne or cellphones.

Wait until Trumpf vetoes any bill to extend their ACA subsidies.

What!?! But I thought the inflation numbers were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down because Trump is God?

Grocery prices were up roughly 2.4% in December compared to the prior year.
But that masks double-digit price increases for a slew of household staples over the past 12 months, including coffee (+20%), beef (+16%) and candy (+10%).

"expensive foods". Prices are not up because of tariffs, they are still up because people will still pay for them.

Unfortunately you are still listed as a dependant on someone else's tax return otherwise in April you would see a big decrease in taxes.

Starvation is so wonderful, right?

#13 Starvation? Oh that's right, according to the left because of Trump everyone is starving. Meanwhile 4 out of 5 kids in this country are obese.

This would be funny except for the fact you are a notorious liar, and you know this too is yet another Trump lie.
And it's "dependent." Ask your mommy for spelling sometime when you come out of the basement.

Democrats mock Rollins over chicken, broccoli, tortilla comment by Sarah Fortinsky - 01/15/26 10:24 AM ET

"A piece of chicken, a piece of brocolli, you know, corn tortilla, and one other thing."

I doubt that is Trump's idea of a "meal".
