They claimed inflation, which hasn’t dropped below zero percent since Biden took office, is “cooling,” “falling,” and lightening voters’ financial loads. Why are groceries still so expensive?” Washington Post authors Jeff Stein and Abha Bhattarai wondered in a headline on Friday. “The Administration is cracking down on exploitative and anti-competitive behavior in meat and poultry markets, supporting state law enforcement efforts to stop practices that raise food prices, and pursuing all available avenues to lower grocery prices for families,” Kikukawa claimed. It’s everyone else’s fault — especially your own — that food prices remain high.
