The MAGA folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet as egg & coffee prices hit an all-time high under Trump.
Well, at least the seniors who voted for Trump will not be getting their meals on wheels any longer...
ABILENE, Texas — Meals on Wheels recently received an email that proposed budget cuts would deeply affect them.
"That would include cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, and the social services block grant funds, which are Title 20 funds, with a possible elimination of title 20 funds."
Executive Director of Meals on Wheels Abilene, Betty Bradley, said. "And the Meals on Wheels program in Abilene receives like $1.9 million of Title 20 funds."
"Well it makes me want to cry, and I might, I don’t think there is a nonprofit agency in Abilene, Texas that is more worthy of the support of the federal government than Meals on Wheels is."
MAGA!

This MAGA guy wrote months ago that Kamala spiked the eggs with bird flu - sort of like China spiked the world with Covid.

Egg prices +15.2% m/m in January ...largest increase since June 2015!
Who remembers these lies?
"When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one. We will drill, baby, drill. That’s going to bring down prices of everything!" ~Donald Trump
"When I take office, I will swiftly reduce prices starting from day one." ~Donald Trump
"I won on the border, and I won on groceries, very simple word, groceries. Like almost nobody -- you know, who uses the word? I started using the word -- the groceries.
When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time, and I won an election based on that.
We're going to bring those prices way down." ~Donald Trump
Well, at least the Emoluments Clause is dead and all the Jan 6th terrorists and cop beaters are free...

Yes, we're all trumpeting this, but this increase has zero to do with Trump's first three weeks in office.
Just like there was zero reason to blame Biden for the mass chicken culling... or could this avian flu epidemic have been foreseen and forestalled with effective use of a vaccine?
Regardless, Trump's still the Liar In Chief and he duped the voters into voting for his promises (some selectively proclaimed as "promises kept" and others as yet ignored). In another year, when the Biden economic tail wind starts to wear off, those voters might be singing a different tune.

I was proving the point (again) that Trump is liar. He said he would "bring prices down, starting on day one."

Trump actually lied over 30,000 times during his first term. 79% of Trump's tweets were rated False by Politifact.

[Putting on my ill-fitting Albaby cap] Yes, trump is an expert liar. But he's also a consummate exaggerator and self-aggrandizer, which the MSM constantly give him a pass on. "That's just Trump being Trump". "No one can lower prices on day one." It's clear hyper-exaggeration for effect."

It could have. But for some reason which I do not recall, chickens don't get vaccinated against the flu.

It's the economics.
SNIP Despite these concerns, critics argue that the economic risks are being prioritized over public health.
"The USDA is currently subsidizing chicken companies when they have (bird flu) outbreaks," deCoriolis said.
"American taxpayers have spent billions in the last two years bailing out chicken and turkey companies that have had outbreaks. If they don't vaccinate, they keep their export market; if they have a bird flu outbreak, they get a bailout."Yet the USDA hasn't ruled out vaccinations as an option and is working towards vaccines designed to protect dairy cows.

We went shopping on Monday. No eggs anywhere for any price.
Yesterday, a limited supply of eggs that cost maybe 2x what they did a year ago. The Felon said he would fix all that (without knowing what he was talking about, the macroeconomics, or anything else). So yet another "fail".
