When Biden’s War on Energy produced skyrocketing energy prices, he astonishingly yet somehow unsurprisingly blamed energy companies and called for government intervention into gas prices. His policies have also caused a dramatic rise in the cost of food, so this will come as no surprise:

Biden promised to “fight for fairer prices” for farmers and consumers Monday as he announced plans to combat the market power of the giant conglomerates that dominate meat and poultry processing.

“Capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism, it’s exploitation,” Biden said. “That’s what we’re seeing in meat and poultry.”

In other words, capitalism isn’t capitalism, socialism is capitalism.

With the word “exploitation,” the Marxist/Leninist foundation of Biden’s ideology peeks through like bright red underwear from behind his unzipped fly.

The inflation driving up food prices was largely caused by excessive government spending. So naturally Biden’s solution includes…

… $1 billion in federal aid to assist expansion of independent processors and new competition regulations under consideration.

When throwing too much free money around causes inflation, throw more free money around. Cranking inflation even higher will make it easier for the government to pay down its debts — as if it planned to anyway.

Eventually, the feds will take over the meat industry. Then we will never again have to worry about high meat prices, because there won’t be any meat — for the same reason that if you put Biden et al. in charge of the Sahara, there would be a shortage of sand.

This dovetails nicely with the progressive agenda on diet. According to liberal doctrine, meat oppresses animals and makes it be too nice outside, so we should eat bugs and weeds instead. Just don’t let Big Government take control of the bug and weed supply, or we won’t have those to eat either.
