Donald Trump’s official Super PAC has launched a recent website dubbed “Biden-Mart” that lets users compare Trump-era grocery prices to current costs under Joe Biden’s administration.
Biden-Mart.com, published by the Make America Great Again Inc. PAC, features an interactive grocery checklist that encourages users to “check off the items…to compile your weekly grocery list and see how far more expensive your bill has grow to be under Joe Biden.”
There are over two dozen common food staples to pick from, including coffee, dairy products and a wide range of different fruit and veggies, the Day by day Mail earlier reported.
The Post clicked off a grocery list of things to see the impact Bidenomics has had during the last 4 years.
A two-pound bag of apples, two kilos of ground beef, seven lemons, one gallon of milk and one pound of sugar and occasional each totaled $30.07 — a whopping 57.11% increase from the $19.14 it cost throughout the Trump administration
Biden-Mart uses data from the USA Department of Agriculture data to check the costs from January 2021 — when Trump left office — with January 2024.
“Putting food on the table has grow to be harder than ever because of ‘Bidenomics,’” the web site touts. “As costs for on a regular basis items proceed to rise, American families are struggling an increasing number of to foot the bill.”
Overall, grocery prices have surged 25% up to now 4 years, outpacing inflation’s 19% rise over the identical time period, The Washington Post reported least month.
The most recent Consumer Price Index reading rose a higher-than-expected 3.2% in February, following a stiff 3.1% advance in January.
At the same time as inflation ran rampant last yr, Biden spun the numbers nearly as good news for his Bidenomics agenda that has consistently claimed to “reduce the [government’s] deficit” despite Treasury Department data showing the red ink has doubled in 2023, from about $1 trillion to $2 trillion.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is ready to release March’s inflation figures on April 10.
Consumer prices haven’t fallen year-over-year since President Joe Biden’s term began in January 2021.
The closest the economy has gotten to a yearly decrease since Biden took office was in July 2022, when the inflation rate remain “unchanged,” at a sky-high 8.5%.
Trump — who clinched the 2024 Republican nomination for president — has cited inflation and the larger US economy as considered one of the highest issues voters are considering going into the November election.
“Persons are going through hell,” he said when speaking on consumer prices during an interview with CNBC earlier this month.
“The center class in our country has been routed and the center class largely built our country and so they have been treated very, very badly with policy.”
