The number one thing that artificially inflates the price of groceries is the food stamp program. The federal government is subsidizing groceries for 40 million people which obviously drives up the cost. That's why the increase in the cost of groceries tracks exactly with the increase in the number of people on food stamps. So as a functional, contributing, working American, you're getting scammed twice. Once when the government steals from your paycheck and gives it to EBT recipients, and again when you go to the grocery store. You're paying twice so that morbidly obese people can buy Doritos on your dime. Infuriating.

It's high time to stop feeding the beast! When most recipients weigh about 300lbs, they don't need food assistance....they can go a couple of months on water! We must also stop incentivizing having babies for government assistance.
That's what Johnson did.
Foodstamps and any entitlement need to go. They all cause inflation.
This is another benefit of the government shutdown. The longer it is shut down, the better the American economy runs, and the lower prices are.
This is EXACTLY CORRECT! Once again, anything the Government subsidizes will increase in price at a greater rate than those things which the Government DOES NOT subsidize!
