Nope. I’m just going to pay more for food and everything else. So are you. Way way more. It’s stupid policy. Our economy needs these people. They need to stay here. You know it’s true. Figure it out.

So it's not Trump??? Nice  

Honestly, it's because of Liberal theft. That's why everything is locked up in California. You can't even buy deodorant without a key. 

The Liberals ruin everything that's good. 

[squistion 2,428]

Yeah, what a shock. Who could have seen that coming? 

[jonnyutah 513]

Yes what a shocker.

Lol. 

Spend .02 more on lettuce. Save money as a society because we will have fewer e coli outbreaks and our kids will get a better education because so much time  and money wont be wasted teaching idiots from mexico how to read.

It’s a feature, not a bug. Food costs, construction costs, coffee, beer, on & on. They know.

Liberals can't afford food again. 

EGGS!!!

This just makes me happy.

Food prices should never have been lowered through the hiring of illegals in the first place. I'm happy to pay more for things in order to ensure more Americans have jobs. 

All patriotic Americans should be. 

[jonnyutah 513]

Food prices went through the roof from 2021-2025. 

Dems told you over and over they didnt. 

Now prices are going up at a slower rate and dems are pissed.

Never change losers. Never change.

When wages aren't lowered by hiring illegals for slave wages, like some here do, American's wages increase. Thereby absorbing the higher cost of goods and services. 

In the long run, it's a wash and America will be much better off as a result.

Slave wages. And what of the blue collar families that need to eat?

They should eat.

What actually happens: take soybeans.

The US created the China market through blood & treasure in the Cold War. We pried them open, beginning with Nixon & through the Bushes & Obama, but really it was a Republican achievement.

We do all this, for decades. Then what? El Magnifico Jefe Naranja pisses them off & taxes them out of the US market. Now they buy from Brazil, & we are putting American farmers on welfare.

That was *our market.

Buy different. They can get the same products, just maybe not the same brands they're used to. 

I'm not saying its ideal, and most of us will feel the pinch. I do. 

But I'm willing to suck it up in the short term for the long term betterment of the country. 

Short term pain for long term gain. It's a thing. 

And it will work unless somebody comes in and focks it up.

Maybe we shouldn't have been living beyond our means, maxing out credit cards and taking payroll advances for decades. 

Time to pay the piper.

We’re the richest country on earth. We have (had) the strongest post pandemic recovery. You’re acting like we’re Greece 2008 in need of austerity jolts.

I'm acting like we need to stop relying on cheap illegal labor to maintain lower prices. 

Because we do. 

Also, we have the richest politicians on earth. That's a major problem that needs to be addressed before anything changes.

I’m an 100% in agreement on this and all I can say is that GOP USSC judges have time again struck down regulations that would limit influence & increase transparency. And also the DOJ has a public integrity division that has been dismantled by this administration.

People bought into food costs going up. Why do you think we always made fun of you guys when you said we need illegals for slave labor? You pretended to be caring about illegals, but in reality you just wanted cheap watermelon.
