In the latest attack ad against the Biden Administration’s disastrous economic policies, the pro-Trump super PAC Maga Inc. posted a statement on the rising costs of food at popular restaurants due to inflation.
As reported by Breitbart, the Monday press release featured photos of former President Donald Trump at his recent rally in Las Vegas, while listing the various menu items and prices at the Cheesecake Factory.
“This viral post might be a parody, but Bidenomics is no joke,” said Alex Pfeiffer, spokesman for MAGA Inc., in the press release. “Prices at the Cheesecake Factory have ballooned under Joe Biden.”
Comparing the prices in December of 2020 to current prices, the post revealed that an original cheesecake used to cost $6.95; it now costs $10.50, a staggering 51.1% increase. An eggroll sampler used to cost $11.95, but now costs $17.95, an increase of 50.2%. The Smokehouse BBQ Burger cost $13.95 in December of 2020, but now costs $18.50, having risen by 32.6%.
Prices have soared at fast food restaurants across the country since Biden took over. An April report from the Food Institute found that chains such as Popeyes, Taco Bell, and Chipotle have been forced to raise their prices by at least 75% due to ongoing inflation. McDonald’s has reportedly doubled their prices since 2014.
“The chain’s average price increase is 100% — more than triple the actual inflation rate at the same time,” the Food Institute reported.
Inflation remains one of the top concerns for voters heading into the November election, with grocery prices in particular continuing to cause major financial strain for most Americans. Inflation has remained higher than 3% for the last three and a half years since Biden first took power.
