The Daily Chart: The Cost of Demagoguery

A few weeks back we noted here that profit margins for large grocery chains like Kroger, always very small to begin with, were flat over the last decade or two, contrary to what demagogic Democrats were saying to try to distract blame for inflation away from their own monetary malpractice in office. Democrats know better, but Democrats count on the gullible and ill-informed to maintain their electoral power, so they will go on lying about it.

But many Americans are susceptible to demagoguery, and Gallup’s latest survey finds that more Americans give a negative (47%) than positive (33%) rating of the grocery industry, up from about 15 percent when Trump was president.
