Rick Scott blames Bidenomics for hunger crisis

Grocery shoppers say they're skipping meals. Is Joe Biden to blame?

Americans aren’t getting enough to eat, and Joe Biden is to blame. That’s according to the re-election campaign for U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, which uses a survey to make the case that recent years have forced hard choices for Americans in the supermarket checkout line.

“Joe Biden destroyed our economy, and American families are feeling the pain,” said spokesperson Will Hampson.

“Bidenomics has led to higher grocery prices, which in turn is forcing many Florida families to decide between eating and paying rent or putting gas in their car. This is unacceptable. Meanwhile, radical Democrats refuse to even admit their party has caused this. The American people will send them a clear message when they fire Joe Biden in November and reelect Republicans like Rick Scott so we can get our economy under control.”

The Senator’s re-election campaign cites a Credit Karma survey showing 27% of Americans are apparently skipping meals due to grocery prices, with 80% of respondents saying they have noticed food prices going up.

Scott’s campaign has zeroed in on food prices as a campaign talking point before. They previously made the case that Whoppers, Quarter Pounders and Baconators have become a “luxury” for 78% of Americans, with a LendingTree survey offering backup for that point.

    Rick Scott exclaims that Biden is responsible for the inflation problem, but he doesn’t explain what Biden did to cause it. Basically, it’s just accusations without any basis.

      Agree. Also, if you were to ask Trump how he would have addressed the inflation problem, he would not have a real solution. He would just blamed inflation on Biden and the radical left.

        Or, DJT would have a plan that gave him free reign until some other flashing light caught his attention.

        But, seriously, why did Florida turn down federal funds for summer feeding programs? You have to turn to medieval alchemy to figure out how less money coming in means feeding more children and teens.

    Tax cuts that defunded programs that help those in need are the primary reason, plus the fact your corrupt antics in trying to defraud Medicare!

      Does Trick take home a doggie bag from the fancy restaurants the lobbyists spring for?
