Kamala Harris Hit with New Food Inflation Statistics, Worst in Almost 50 Years
Kamala Harris Hit with New Food Inflation Statistics, Worst in Almost 50 Years

Kamala Harris is doing everything she can to convince voters she is not Joe Biden 2.0. But the grim reality is, she was right alongside Joe as he tanked the United States. Harris supported every last decision Biden made. That includes those terrible decisions that crippled our oil and gas industries, opened the border to illegals, and helped crime explode in big cities.

Now, she wants you to believe she won’t continue these policies, destroying America’s prosperity.

But the numbers don’t lie. As Harris tries to take the crown from Joe, she is forced to carry all the burdens he left behind. The media might want you to think she’s a female messiah. In reality, though, she is the devil in a pantsuit (worse than Hillary Clinton). Now, she will have to explain why Americans are struggling so much—over something Biden and she promised to improve!

From Breitbart:
As Americans stroll the grocery aisles, confronted with sticker shock at every turn, a central issue that has plagued the Biden-Harris administration since its inception comes into focus: inflation is still taking its toll…

Polls consistently show that inflation is the top concern for voters, and it’s easy to see why. Under the Biden-Harris administration, the cost of “food at home”—bureaucratese for groceries—has surged by over 21 percent.

Biden and Harris: The Inflation Duo Hurting Americans

As Americans wander through grocery store aisles, they’re not just picking up milk and bread—they’re also picking up the tab for the Biden-Harris administration’s economic missteps. Every price tag seems to carry a little more weight these days, thanks to inflation that has surged under their watch. And while politicians in D.C. might try to spin a different story, there’s no denying that the costs are hitting Americans where it hurts the most: their wallets.

The Biden-Harris team promised relief, but instead delivered a relentless rise in prices. From groceries to gas, inflation is squeezing the life out of household budgets, leaving many wondering how much longer they can stretch a dollar. And as much as the White House tries to paint a rosy picture, Americans know better. Inflation isn’t just an abstract concept—it’s a very real and painful reality that they face every time they swipe their debit cards at the checkout.

Inflation’s Grim Reality

The numbers don’t lie. Inflation, particularly at the grocery store, has become the bane of every American’s existence. Under Biden and Harris, the cost of groceries has surged by over 21 percent. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, especially when you consider that this is the steepest increase in food prices seen since the days of Jimmy Carter. In fact, this administration’s first 42 months have recorded the third-largest food inflation spike in over 70 years.

For those keeping score, grocery prices during Donald Trump’s presidency rose by just 6.3 percent in the same timeframe. That’s a stark contrast and one that voters haven’t forgotten. A recent YouGov poll found that 77 percent of Americans consider inflation a “very important” issue, with 78 percent of voters saying it’s one of the biggest sources of their personal financial stress. It’s not hard to see why—when you’re paying more for less at the grocery store, the impact is immediate and profound.

The Harris Factor

Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t just been a passive observer in this economic train wreck—she’s been an active participant. Her tie-breaking votes in the Senate were crucial in pushing through the massive spending bills that many economists believe have fueled the inflation crisis. While the administration likes to downplay this by pointing to minor recent improvements, the reality is that food prices continue to rise. The index for food increased by 0.2 percent in July, with groceries alone seeing a 0.1 percent bump.

Despite the administration’s rhetoric, grocery prices are still on the rise, making it harder for families to put food on the table. The Biden-Harris administration has overseen the biggest increase in food inflation since the 1970s, and Americans are feeling the pinch.

Key Takeaways:

  • Biden and Harris have overseen a 21 percent surge in grocery prices, the steepest increase since Jimmy Carter.
  • Inflation remains the top concern for American voters, with 77 percent considering it a major issue.
  • Despite minor improvements, food prices continue to rise, putting further strain on household budgets.
