$1 items at Dollar Tree have been a casualty of the inflation that characterizes Biden’s rule. $1 pizza in New York City is another:

“It’s a little bit scary at times,” said Slone Elias, a customer at 2 Bros. Pizza on Eighth Avenue in Chelsea.

When our inflation catches up to Venezuela’s, it will be more than a little bit scary.

Elias savored slices on the sidewalk this week with friends amid a true sign of the times — the shop advertises $1.50 pizza slices on a sidewalk menu board, right beneath its iconic bright red marquee boasting “$1 Pizza.”

There would be no point to correcting the marquee. By the time they finished, they would have to change it to $2 pizza.

Leonardo Giordano, owner of Mona Lisa Pizzeria said the prices of 200 items that he orders for the pizza joint “went up 50 to 200 percent.”

Those businesses that survive will pass on the cost to customers.

Inflation is driven by excessive government spending, Biden’s war on energy, and other manifestations of Big Government that include the labor shortage and the supply chain crisis. It is a tax on everyone — a crippling tax for those who rely on a fixed income or their savings.
