Wale Up America
I’m tired of fuzzy thinking and empty promises. One of the platforms Trump ran on was lowering food prices. Three quarters of the American population are worried about the cost of food. Understandable.
The devil is in the details. American farming depends on undocumented workers, lots of them. Between 30 and 40 percent of farm labor is undocumented. Deporting undocumented persons as Trump has promised, will cause an increase in food prices. Add to that the promise by Trump to place tariffs on imports, food items included, and you have a clear recipe for an increase in food prices not a lowering of food prices.
This is the point where I have to bite my tongue. I will have to live in the economy that the majority of Americans wanted. Am I complaining? Not really. I will survive even if all I can afford to eat is Idahoan Instant Mashed Potatoes.
