Trump gets asked what he'll do to bring down prices at the grocery store and has absolutely nothing to say,

I listened and trump just ignored the question about groceries.



Trump gets asked what he'll do to bring down prices at the grocery store and has absolutely nothing to say,
perhaps because his policy agenda of putting a 10% tax on foreign goods and
deporting a big chunk of the agricultural workforce will raise prices.

He'll cut taxes on the rich and deregulate, that's all he did in his term as President.

The greedy oil companies are EXPORTING all the oil they're pumping in the U.S. because they can get a far better price for it overseas.

We can only refine so much oil into gasoline in our country. Our refineries are working at capacity. I guess people think we send huge tankers of refined gasoline overseas. Nope, crude, unrefined oil is what they send.

Trump's pals, the Saudis and Putin, are the people who are keeping oil prices at this level.

Of course it's Fox. Expect nothing but disinformation from Murdoch's propaganda machine.

Yet, she will still vote for TSF. I told her that she is supporting a RAPIST. We got into a screaming match. End of story.

to understand we are being gouged because we've been remonopolized to understand any solution. Trump would have no problem with that and we'd keep getting screwed.
