Former President Donald Trump has a simple question for anyone considering voting for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Is anything less expensive under Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe?”

That is the question he asked as he shredded the administration’s economic policies during a campaign speech on Wednesday.

“Does anyone here feel richer under Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe than you were during the Trump administration? Is anything less expensive under Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe? We had inflation that — I don’t believe we’ve ever had inflation like that. You can go back a long way,” the former president said.

“Are you better off now with Harris and Biden than you were with a person named President Donald J. Trump? Do you know him? He’s a nice, nice gentleman. With four more years of Harris, your finances will never recover. They’re never going to recover. Our country will never recover frankly, more importantly, it will be unrecoverable,” he said.

“Vote Trump and your income will soar, your savings will grow young people will be able to afford a home. And we’ll bring back the American dream bigger, better, and stronger than ever before,” he said.

In May Fox Business reported that in 2019, a Big Mac sandwich at McDonald’s cost $3.99, but it now sells for a whopping $8.29, according to Fast Food Menu Prices. Similarly, a BLT Footlong at Subway, which cost $5.50 in 2019, can now sell for as much as $8.49. Chipotle’s chicken burrito, priced at $6.50 in 2019, can now be as much as $10.70.

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis suggests that fast-food prices have increased faster than inflation and have outpaced the wage growth of most employees at these restaurants.

“A recent survey conducted by LendingTree found 78% of consumers now consider fast food to be a ‘luxury’ purchase due to how expensive the meals have become,” Fox Business pointed out.

Dan O’Donnell of the MacIver Institute noted on Thursday: “Prices on basic items like McDonald’s cheeseburgers and Chick-fil-A nuggets have risen as much as 200% in less than five years with dire consequences for the lower- and middle-class families who make up much of the fast food customer base. … This is not, as the White House has repeatedly insisted, the result of price gouging, but rather the shockingly high cost of wages and food production for restaurants like McDonald’s and Taco Bell.  Since their business model is entirely predicated on providing quick, convenient meals at low prices, they can ill afford to price their menu items out of the reach of their bargain-conscious customer base.”

“Fast food patrons are generally lower-income earners — many with young children — who rely on a quick, affordable meal before soccer practice or a band concert,” O’Donnell added. “When prices at these restaurants spike from $35-$40 for a family meal to $65-$70 in just a few years, those families either have to sacrifice a night out or extend themselves just a little further to afford it. … When even fast food is slipping out of reach, it’s clear that America’s inflation problem is now a full-blown crisis.”
