    snip

    Americans are forking out over $10 more this year on their Independence Day barbecues, one year after the White House was lampooned for a tweet celebrating a 16-cent discount.

    end snip

    I remember the Democrats heralding the 16 cent price drop last year. I guess because so many folks laughed at them that they got the last laugh on us. We did not appreciate how magnanimous were the Democrats they they made things worse.

    Maybe come November we can celebrate independence from full Democrat control

    Major INFLATION Situation..
    Besides?
    Who has any leftover money for July 4th BBQ?
    There is NO MONEY for "Discretionary Spending" in Biden's America...
    Most people's July 4th BBQ's are going consist of Ramen Noodles and Free Ketchup Packets...
    Thx alot, Biden!
    Of course, Everybody KNOWS:
    This is the worst situation in the history of the World.
    Biden's "Inflation" makes conditions during the Great Depression look like the Halcyon Days of Roman Bread and Circuses.
    Hell, compared to "Biden's America" the Slums of Calcutta look like the High-Rent District of Dubai.
    As far as "NEVER voting for Any Democrat Ever again"...
    Even in an election where Only Democratic Candidates are on the ballot and there in No "Write-In" Option.
    A person with a perfect voting record (showing up to vote in every election since age 18.) would have to sit it out.
    Besides, Everybody KNOWS:
    Inflation is ALL The Dems. Fault.
    Every Democratic Vote in American History (Dating back to those Democrats who first voted for Thomas Jefferson) caused this Unheard of INFLATION!
    Anybody whoever voted for any Democratic Candidate (Including President, Senator, Congressman, State, Local, Etc.), in the History of the United States (back to the days of Thomas Jefferson) OWNS This Inflation!
    This is ALL Their Fault!
    INFLATION! Consequences! Common Folk!
    And, this Scourge of Inflation is ALL The Dems. Fault!
    So, the next time you vote--Do NOT Vote Dem!
    The Dems Caused this Rampant Inflation.
    Consequences! Common Folk!
    Remember:
    Inflation is ALL The Dems. Fault!
    Just Like
    Unexpected Car Problems...
    Your Fave team Losing the Big Game...
    Unfortunate Health Problems...
    Random Industrial Accidents...
    Rain on Parade Day...
    ^Are ALL The Dems Fault!
    So, to Recap, In Case You Missed It:
    Inflation!
    Consequences for Common Folk!
    ^ALL THE DEMS FAULT!

    Anyway, just remember:
    IF Trump had been Re-Elected Gas would be 99 Cents a Gallon, Putin would have never invaded Ukraine, Unicorn Farts would have solved Global Warming.
    BUT!
    Inflation! Consequences! Common Folk!
    DEMS BAD!

    @Andrew Jackson

    hey, it was the guy for whom you voted that spiked the ball last year heralding the 16 cent savings. I guess because they were mocked, they sure taught us a lesson; didn't they?

    I hate to say Fox is wrong, but it’s a lot more than $10.00.

    Two years ago I could buy three racks of baby back ribs for $23.00. Today one rack costs $19.00.

    I agree

    I do a lot more shopping at a discount market now, Aldi, (just came back from there) then a regular supermarket to minimize the impact

    Its much more here in Los Angeles. Some seared Ahi, single malt scotch, and IPA is going to be expensive. Almost as much as a box of ammo!

    Yes, there is massive worldwide inflation

    I thought this had been discussed and agreed to

    It is interesting to see a single person blamed when the US is middle of the pack in overall inflation though.

    Does anyone here remember being told companies won’t raise prices if their costs go up?

    who blames a single individual? Democrats create train wrecks upon the nation; it's what they do. It's the dead, illegal and legitimate Democrat voters who are to blame for this

    yup

    $15 per hour would never cause inflation

    Injuring the energy sector would never have ripple effects and drive up prices

    All failed, Democrat talking points. Any sane person knew better

    Hey AJ, a few months back I colorized that photo of the Migrant Mother taken by Dorothea Lange. Looking at it now I think I added too much red highlights to her face. I’m also seeing all my mistakes.
