TRENTON, NJ—Good news, New Jersey: Lower food bills are just one vote away in November, according to Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris said last night that she would lower food costs for Americans and those struggling in New Jersey, a state with the highest cost of living in America, once she is elected.
Harris forgot she’s already in office, and between herself and President Joe Biden, she already has the power and influence to lower costs.
Unless it’s all a political ploy and an empty promise connected to her communist style price controls agenda.
If your grocery bill feels like it’s getting out of hand, you’re not alone. Under the Harris-Biden administration, the price of everything from eggs to bread has been steadily climbing. Inflation has been the culprit, and it’s been hitting Americans right where it hurts: the wallet. And while Vice President Kamala Harris promises to lower grocery prices if she’s elected President, many are left wondering—why hasn’t she done anything about it already?
Since the Harris-Biden administration took office, inflation has surged, pushing living costs to new heights. According to the latest data, groceries prices have increased significantly each month, with some items seeing double-digit price hikes over the past year. It’s no wonder people are side-eyeing Harris’s recent promise to lower the cost of groceries if she becomes President.
“We believe in a future where we lower the cost of living for America’s families. When I am President, I will bring down the cost of groceries by making sure markets are competitive and fair,” Harris recently stated. But considering she’s already in a position of power, many are skeptical. After all, shouldn’t she have started addressing this issue while serving as Vice President?
Critics argue that the administration’s policies have failed to curb inflation effectively. Supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and increasing demand post-pandemic have been contributing factors, but many believe the administration hasn’t done enough to mitigate these issues. Instead, grocery prices continue to rise, leaving families to foot the bill.
Harris’s plan to tackle grocery prices hinges on creating competitive and fair markets, but for those already feeling the squeeze, this promise feels like too little, too late. The skepticism isn’t just political; it’s personal. People see their grocery receipts, and they’re not seeing any relief. The administration’s critics say it’s hard to take future promises seriously when the present situation feels so dire.
