Rep. Van Orden: "Listen, the average American has been browbeaten into thinking that things are so much worse than they were under the Biden administration. That's just a lie. Eggs were $9 a dozen. I went to Walmart the other day, it was a buck 50."

True however he's lying. Walmart Great Value eggs never got higher than $4.50 in my area and are $1.87 at the moment. Republicans get away with lying because the MSM reports the lie as a "side" open to debate where people might have different opinions. Facts are not opinions.

They did get higher than that at least in parts of Wisconsin--I'm in Milwaukee and have a picture of $10.29 mass market eggs (at a small midscale grocery chain that serves a large Latino population), but that picture is from March 2025.

One thing a person picks up on after living multiple decades is the same BS being endlessly recycled. One example being "Social Security is going broke." Been hearing that since the '70s. Another good one is the MSM telling everyone Republicans are good on the economy and Democrats want to ban guns.

Prices that are in areas with a lot of lower income population are almost always higher than in most areas. Also those mass market type eggs (Eggland, etc.) actually went up a lot more than small local or regional brands. I suspect part of that was a coordinated attack on Biden+opportunistic gouging
