In reply to the discussion: Pres. Biden needs to address grocery prices and rent [View all]

(663 posts)49. This is not enough.
Trump is sucking all the oxygen from the media. So far, we only have about 4 or 5 instances of Biden talking about prices in the past few months. That is not enough!! This needs to be weekly. We are in a dire struggle against MAGA and he needs to be out there showing the Biden that everyone came to love in 2020.
We can all put our heads in the sand and act like everything is wonderful, but poor and middle class people are suffering with the groceries and rent right now. He needs to be more of an advocate vocally. Once a month is not going to cut it.

Your points are valid, but they would be better understood without the unnecessary emphatics and profanity.

I can't speak to the rent issue. It's intermingled with complexities like insurance and taxes.

Rents (on average) may have dropped slightly depending upon locale, but they are still substantially higher.
