Here's a news flash, the higher food prices are already here, what used to cost me about $35.00 now costs me about $60.00-$65.00.

When was the last time any of these House or Senate repukes actually went into a grocery store, or any store for that matter, and did their own shopping?
When was the last time anyone in the Been A Dick Donald regime did the same?

It's pretty obvious that these fucking clowns have no idea what the average American is going through to try to keep their families fed, clothed, a roof over their heads, etc..
