Summary
Democratic lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, criticized Trump for failing to address rising food costs despite campaign promises to lower prices “immediately.”
In a letter, they accused Trump of focusing on mass deportations and January 6 pardons instead of tackling grocery inflation, which rose 1.8% in 2024, with egg prices up 36.8%.
Trump’s administration defended its actions, citing efforts to reduce inflation by cutting energy costs.
What exactly do you want them to do? What legislation can they pass when they don’t control the House or Senate?
How do you expect a political party to solve a crisis caused by private industry? Should they pass legislation against bird flu? More regulations for the poultry industry?
Since you are so smart, what should they do? And how can they fight the majority party that is antagonistic towards everything the democrats try to do?
The Democrats can use Democracy. Require that corporate boards in America vote in their members through employee elections. It’s a slim minority of power grubbers that would want to keep raising prices against the poor.
By the way, the senator making this shouting proposed exactly that bill. It didn’t make it anywhere, because people don’t vote in senate majorities letting them pass such things.
This reads like an AI hallucinated it. I’m amazed the link works.
