Bullshit. That, as a CEO told me once, is simple man thinking and simple man math.

Lol. Your head is seriously so far up your ass. Truly remarkable.
Awww. So cute when 3rd grade mentality tries calculus.
You are welcome to start your own thread discussing herding and animal husbandry, but this is off topic here. This thread is for actual discussion on issues, not performing public fellatio on yourself, like you seem to be doing.
Connect the dots with that statement. How will eliminating subsidies for children the disabled, the out of work, single mothers etc... help with the price of eggs.
This thread isn't about claims, its about stating HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET THERE. You actually have to support statements.
Normal people would think so. You don't classify as normal though.
The people in your realm might consider you normal, but that is not how most folks think.
You are truly dumb enough to believe this. You think Trump won because of the price of eggs?
Dumb enough to believe that engaging you would lead to the outlining an actual plan? Yes apparently I was duped. Please start your own thread where you discuss fools like me who dare to be stupid enough to ask people: What's the plan?
This thread is about actually answering my questions. Not at all about your feelings.
Neither of you can handle that your president was a complete failure and both of you circle jerked around him for 4 years.
Still, Rent Free!
I'm not asking about your feelings. I'm asking about process. You apparently have no clue what that means. Feel free to leave the thread and start your own.Neither of you can handle that your president was a complete failure and both of you circle jerked around him for 4 years.

Here we are addressing the OP question. Nothing else.
I think deporting millions of illegals who shop at stores will help drop food prices due to law of supply and demand. Lower fuel prices should help lower food prices also imo.
Really you think that? What would happen if a supply side economy didn't have half it's work force?
Huge over exaggeration. Crops will be picked by legal seasonal workers. They are not going to deport all of them anyway even though I would support it. We can also put some Americans back in the workforce that dropped out.
But illegals in your terms are known to be 50% of the work force. What happens to a business when it unexpectededly loses that much work force?
Oh, the f'in irony of this post. LOL. Everything you libtards do in life is based on feelings.
My "actual plan" is to keep providing for my family, as I've always done, and hope and trust you freaking libs don't find a way to fvck it up.
Firegiver is worried about the guy landing skyscraper sized rockets on floating rafts that drift around in the ocean figuring it out.
I think we are gonna be ok.
How many times do you guys have to be told I don’t vote D almost ever.

Build that wall. Repeal and replace. I mean, the liberals never do what they say they will.
There are plenty of places with higher minimum wages and lower food costs. What a brainbuster that must be for you guys
Dude, again, this thread is not about you and your feelings. Its about addressing the actual OP in this thread. Good luck with your feelings though.
You don't have to take my word for it, you can ask the Negative Population Growth, Inc. The long standing racists...err I mean anti immigration group.
Ok...you are referring just to agriculture. They can ship in as many seasonal legal ag workers that are needed. No problem with that.
Construction would be interesting to see the percentage.
Wait.... You think that farms, who have been employing undocumented workers, at a huge price savings cost for labor, can just "ship them in no problem"?
Explain how that's going to work and who is going to pay for that
and 50% of the farm labor is supplied from undocumented illegal
Can you again, explain how reducing the labor force, in a supply sided economy, is going to reduce prices?
Would you not agree, that it will cost farms more to hire legal labor?
Would that not preclude the farms to raise the prices of their goods, to cover the increase in overhead?
Where are the smart people that have thought this through?
You honestly read that back and forth and decided he was the douche of the two?
i have to admit it was a tough call but i was going more for the total body of work.
I've also tried to find a plan and don't see one. This article notes that sustained price declines typically only happen in steep, protracted recessions, so maybe that's the plan?

“There is a fundamental disconnect between a stated goal of reducing grocery prices and tariff policy that only stands to increase those costs,” said Tom Madrecki, the association’s vice president of campaigns and special projects.
Ortega said Trump’s plans to deport people who are in the U.S. illegally could also drive up grocery prices. There are more than 2 million undocumented workers throughout the U.S. food chain, he said, including an estimated 1 million working on farms, 750,000 working in restaurants and 200,000 in food production.
At the Michigan town hall, Trump said lowering energy costs by increasing oil and gas drilling would also lower food prices.
“If you make doughnuts, if you make cars, whatever you make, energy is a big deal, and we’re going to get that. It’s my ambition to get your energy bill within 12 months down 50%,” he said.
Energy makes up a relatively small portion of the cost of food production and sales. For every $1 spent on food in 2022, a little less than 4 cents went toward energy costs, according to the USDA. Farm production cost 8 cents, while food processing cost 14 cents.
Joseph Glauber, a senior research fellow with the International Food Policy Research Institute, said energy prices are important, but they have already come down significantly over the past year.
“I think it would be difficult for the Trump administration to have much impact on energy prices in the short run,” Glauber said.
When asked whether Trump had plans beyond energy and tariffs to lower grocery costs, a spokesperson for his transition team didn’t give further details."

Food prices worried most voters, but Trump's plans likely won't lower their grocery bills
Americans are fed up with the price of food, and many are looking to President-elect Donald Trump to lower their grocery bills.

I guess it just feels like one of trying to have discussion and one is just over the top running his mouth. But every time I try to have a moderate statement you typically give me the laugh emoji, so not terribly surprised.
But politics has become a team sport so I get it.
Feel free to go start your own thread about how stupid I am. In here we are actually discussing plans that affect Americans
yep, I'm a douche, apparently. For asking: What's the plan?
Are you saying asking that question makes a US citizen a douche? Questioning our government is douchey? Remember, the internet is forever.
If you would like to start a new thread discussing douchness please feel free. Unless you are going to address the OP question, kindly leave.
