The cost of everything has steadily increased since Joe Biden took office, forcing millions of Americans to dig deep in their pocketbooks to make ends meet.
The Make America Great Again Inc. Super PAC wanted to provide a visual of a typical grocery bill during the Trump administration compared to what Americans are paying now for the same items under Biden.
The website, called Biden Mart, allows visitors to check off over two dozen commonly purchased grocery items, while “Your bill under Trump” and “Your bill under Biden” totals populate at the bottom of the page. The website also shows the percentage of the price increase.
The prices for each item on the website were set using data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The website states, “Putting food on the table has become harder than ever thanks to ‘Bidenomics.’ As costs for everyday items continue to rise, American families are struggling more and more to foot the bill.”
RSBN checked off a grocery list that included boneless chicken thighs, ribeye steak, onions, a gallon of milk, zucchini, a one-pound block of cheese, yogurt, eggs, and coffee. Under Biden, the total price was $50.36, a 53.12 percent increase from the $32.89 it would have cost under Trump.
Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act has not lived up to its name, but that has not stopped him from claiming that Americans benefit directly from its passage. The New York Post reported that grocery prices have increased by 25 percent over the last four years, which is six percent higher than overall inflation.
President Trump recently remarked on the state of the economy and how it is affecting the middle class during a CNBC interview, telling host Joe Kernen, “People are going through hell.”
