If you thought that inflation was finally starting to slow down on the verge of Joe Biden leaving the Oval Office, think again. The White House has not undertaken a single policy in the past four years that has slowed inflation. Even selling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve off to China only slowed rising gas prices for a few months. In a new milestone, the wholesale price of eggs has just hit a record-high milestone on Biden’s final days in office.
None of us have forgotten the pain of the hyperinflation on groceries that took place in 2022. In December of that year, the average wholesale price for eggs hit $4.79. Some stores in California were selling eggs for almost $9 a dozen as a result. As of the first week in January 2025, the wholesale price for eggs just hit $4.81.
In supermarkets across the Midwest, eggs are now selling for $5.67 a dozen. That’s up from the previous record high price of $5.46 set two years ago.
Part of the problem is due to increased demand for eggs during the holiday season when more people are making baked goods. The real driver of egg prices, however, is the government.
Since October 2024, more than 17 million laying hens and pullets have been slaughtered as the Biden regime and people like California Governor Gavin Newsom have been trying to scare everyone about “bird flu.” 17 million fewer laying hens translates to 10 million fewer eggs reaching the marketplace each week. In case it needs to be said, you can’t catch bird flu from eating eggs!
Stores across the country are now putting up signs warning of an egg shortage and the price is going to keep going up. It’s just one more Biden-induced problem that Donald Trump is going to have to clean up after the inauguration.
