Sir, Harris did nothing about high egg prices when she was in office. Neither did Biden. They presided over some of the highest inflation in American history. Whether it was their fault or not they didn't do a damn thing to fix it.

What is Trump doing? Promoting imports of cheaper eggs from abroad, if nothing else. He is the first politician this century to make a big deal out of balancing the budget and our imports/exports. This will not be a painless process but something has to be done.

Biden and harris didn't do anything to stop inflation? They passed multiple bills explicitly targeting it.You do know we are handling inflation better than others specifically because Biden focused on it right?

[wakawaka28]

Lol no, the Democrats did the classic Congress custom of passing a bill that is named exactly the opposite of what it is. The Inflation Reduction Act was a massive spending bill that contributed to higher inflation. I didn't see a single thing that the previous administration did to lower inflation in a noticeable way. They did drain the strategic petroleum reserve to record lows which did approximately fuck all for gas prices, and put the country in a strategically bad spot.

Some of the highest inflation in American history? Easy to see you weren't around in 1979. Try 14% inflation. This? This was very little.

[wakawaka28]

Inflation was measured different in 1979. According to shadowstats.com, real comparable CPI peaked at like 15% a year or two ago. Prices in general are up at least about 50% from 5 years ago.

9.1% is not far off.

[AnimalMuppet]

When did we have 9.1%? And for how long did we have it? 14% was the peak, but we had above 10% for several years, IIRC.

2022, and the rest is shifting goalposts from what OP said:

> They presided over some of the highest inflation in American history.

Their statement is completely accurate.
