Tomatoes are 40% more expensive now than they were this time last year. Coffee, another imported product, is 19% more expensive than it was last spring. You're also likely seeing inflated prices at the butcher counter. Meat is up 9% overall, but beef has grown even more expensive. Ground beef is about 15% pricier, beef roasts are 18% more, and steak is up 16%.

Nice going, pedo 47.

"Argh! You can't have gubmint-owned food stores selling groceries to poor people! Gargh! That's socialism! Let'em starve in NYC! Blargh!"

"C'mon, Honey, let's go to the PX/Commissary and do our food shopping. And we'll fill up with gas while we're there."

Also "Trump Failed" - a fitting epitaph.

Tariffs and wars have a funny effect on prices.

Being in the Marines in the early 1980s, I loved how all the records I wanted at the PX (The Clash, Adam and the Ants, Etc.) would end up in the 99c bin after like 2 weeks because no one else was buying them.

Both of which were unforced errors (I mean choices) of Trump.

Yet you still can't bring yourself to admit he's a disaster.
