This is where Biden has led us…
We talk about the crushing weight of inflation, and how the prices are at 40-year highs. At this point, we’ve probably done a ton of stories and thrown out all kinds of numbers on it.
But nothing quite puts it in focus as much as how it is affecting all of us every time we have to go to the grocery store to buy food and we see the prices keep going up and up for necessities.
A local bakery must have felt the necessity to explain to customers why they were raising prices by posting about how much their costs had gone up since January 2021 (when Joe Biden came in). The Wall Street Silver account that has posted a lot of interesting things about inflation posted the bakery’s whiteboard explanation and it’s pretty jarring when you look at just how much it has increased.
As many pointed out, these prices are not just up 8.3 percent — the last inflation number announced, in some cases, they’re paying more than double what they were paying before Biden came in. If you look at it, and you realize that inflation is continuing to rise, you know that this is not a sustainable situation when costs go up this much.
Our friends over at Twitchy posted the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics graph of how much the bakery products have gone — the orange part is how much it’s gone up over the past year. You can see what a huge jump that is.
