It seems that Democrats can’t stop themselves from wailing over prices, particularly since the moment President Donald Trump began his second term. According to figures, inflation has surged horrifically under President Joe Biden, yet here comes Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, waving his hands like a conductor missing all the right beats. This time, the spotlight is on Senator Adam Schiff, who has apparently outdone himself with a whiny diatribe even more absurd than usual, all while lacking any meaningful context.
Schiff took to his official platform like a modern-day Chicken Little, lamenting about the soaring prices of food while blaming it all on Trump’s so-called “tax breaks for billionaires.” Apparently, this implies that middle-class Americans are left with crumbs. One has to wonder how these “tax breaks” for wealthy folks are directly responsible for the skyrocketing price of groceries at the local supermarket—or any prices for that matter. It’s almost like Schiff believes people will be convinced his spell of socialist fears will bounce them to the grocery store to buy a basket of eggs for $700.
Food prices in 2025 remain volatile due to systemic supply chain failures exacerbated by bureaucratic mismanagement—not tax policy. While eggs (+41%) and sugar (+6%) spike because of input cost chaos from D.C.’s regulatory overreach, pork and dairy see modest relief.
The real…

As food prices soar higher, only large corporations are doing well.
Donald Trump's tax breaks for billionaires = less for the middle class.
Less fairness, less security. Less money in your pocket, less chance to save, less for you.

To crank up the alarm just a notch, Schiff added that this all translates to “less fairness, less security, less money in your pocket, less chance to save, less for you.” It’s as if the good senator is auditioning for the role of the grim reaper of personal finances or perhaps taking lessons from a horror movie villain. In less than three hours, the online world struck back, delivering a resounding you-must-be-kidding-me with nearly a thousand comments lampooning his over-the-top rhetoric.
Amid all the mockery, voices from across the Twitter-verse offered a reality check: the rampant food price hikes were driven by systemic failures in supply chains—the kind of chaos that can be pinned right back on a fumbling federal bureaucracy instead of any tax policy. The data won’t lie; while chicken and sugar have seen unparalleled spikes due to a cocktail of regulatory misdeeds, pork and dairy somehow managed to give folks a little relief. Isn’t that just rich—Big Government fails yet again, and suddenly it’s Trump’s fault?
Let’s not forget that President Trump has only been back in office for a couple of months. If anyone genuinely believes he’s responsible for skyrocketing costs, they’re not engaging in rational thought; they’re merely marching to the left’s manufactured drumbeat. The Democrats will continue to rerun this tiresome narrative until it becomes an accepted part of everyday tripe, but sensible minds must reject it outright.
Additionally, Schiff’s egg-focused panic plays right into a larger narrative about Biden’s handling of the economy—polls show he’s been struggling incredibly, especially on inflation and financial issues. Trump appears to be pulling ahead in public favor when it comes to economic issues as the nation approaches the 2024 election. While Schiff might be sweating bullets over food prices, the Biden administration deserves its own round of criticism for the plummeting global security situation under its watch, showcasing how far the fallout reaches from poorly planned foreign policy. From wars igniting under Biden’s leadership to soaring prices in the grocery aisles, it seems the world is left with far fewer guarantees than anyone anticipated.
