EDITORIAL:
Trump’s actions have exacerbated America’s woes at the cash register
Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025 | 2 a.m.Americans struggling with high grocery bills bought into Donald Trump’s promise to bring down food prices.
But as food costs continue to squeeze families, one thing is clear: Not only has Trump failed to take action to lower food prices, but his policies, trade wars, chaotic immigration raids and war on science are making the problem worse.
Democrats, who largely ignored the importance of food prices during Biden’s presidency, seem to finally be taking the issue seriously. They are making concrete proposals at both the state and federal levels to increase food supplies and create a stable workforce for American farms that will ultimately lower food costs.
We remain baffled at why Democrats didn’t force these actions when they controlled the White House and both houses of Congress, especially after Republicans pledged to block helpful legislation and hand Trump winning campaign issues. But today it is an issue the GOP must own.
