The immediate reader reaction was, Wow! $9.00 for eggs. Inflation and prices are out of control, right?
Several comments later the person who posted said it included three eggs, three sausage, three bacon, home fries and two pieces of toast.
I thought I was reading a campaign ad.

Greed–one of the 7 deadly sins–did they just discover it in 2022? The company has been around forever, maybe 100 years, but just discovered they could screw consumers in 2022 & 23–I guess because there was no competition they could do this.

Gone to your Cape Cod gas station recently?
Yes, inflation (too much $ chasing too few goods) is an issue and to fight it the Federal Reserve, not the White House, is using the tried and true method of raising interest rates. Remember Paul Vockler–the jolly green giant? Why? It has been and always will be a monetary issue not a shortage issue. Is gas in short supply?

Now he tries to buys the votes of the young Hamas Democrat anti Semitic college students on the campuses of many universities by transferring debt to the blue collar workers via additional debt.

Was it in yesterday’s Journal the article about folks like us sitting in the cat bird seat with low mortgage rates and rising home prices while young people are having a miserable time finding housing they can afford and then paying over 7% mortgage rates?
Oh sure it is not the rates some folks paid as Vockler & Reagan fought the Nixon/ Carter inflation but I paid $47,500 for a home we still live in–that might buy a parking spot where I live.
