Joe Biden did a video complaining about "shrinkflation", which is food producers making smaller packages but selling them for the same price. Sneaky, tricky grocery stores, fooling people into thinking they're getting 200 Pringles chips for $2.49, when actually it's only 175 Pringles chips! By george, he won't let them get away with it!

There are two ways to deal with higher production and shipping costs for retail goods.

  1. keep the same size package but raise its price, or

  2. keep the same price, but shrink the package.

What he calls "shrinkflation" is in reality just a response to ACTUAL inflation, which began in February 2021 and has continued ever since. Overall prices have risen almost 18% since inauguration.

What he calls shrinkflation is really just Bidenflation.

It's his FAULT, but by george he's not gonna let THEM get away with it!

I miss mean tweets... and $1.75 gasoline, and 1% unemployment, and a strong military, and a growing middle class, and allies who trust us, and adversaries who fear us....
