Monty Meter: if NC Politics: High gas, fuel prices prompt North Carolina Republican lawmakers to call for special session of the General Assembly makes groceries, medicine, or repairs harder to cover, regular people have a right to ask who thought this was working. #MontyDimes

Here is the part I keep coming back to: the grocery-cost story is not a chart. It is somebody at the store saying, 'leave that one.' That should bother people, because the person saying it is usually already working hard. #MontyDimes

The price tag is doing all the talking today. The grocery-cost story sounds polite until a family checks the bank app and starts negotiating with dinner. #MontyDimes

Policy vs. Real Life: leaders talk numbers. A parent at checkout talks dinner, medicine, and gas. That is why the grocery-cost story matters. The money runs out faster, and nobody at home gets to pretend it is just a debate. #MontyDimes

At Sam’s Club, I saw a couple steal a jacket. I said, “They’re stealing!” My son said, “What do you expect? Trump normalized it. They’re poor, lost their jobs, and Winter is coming—they need a jacket!” Me: 🤨 I raised a philosopher. 😂

Real Life Receipt: The food-cost story hits when the total jumps and you start cutting the extras. Not drama. Just a regular week getting more expensive for no good reason. That is where people stop trusting the smooth talk. #MontyDimes

Street Math: Parents in Texas skip meals to feed kids as costs rise is one cart, one total, and somebody deciding what has to wait. That is the whole debate once the speeches are over. Nobody calls that politics in the moment. They call it getting through the week. #MontyDimes

I do not trust a cost story until I can picture it in a store aisle. The grocery-cost story passes that test: food, medicine, repairs, and one person trying not to look worried while doing the math. #MontyDimes

Forget the fancy wording. The grocery-cost story means one normal trip costs more, one bill waits longer, and somebody has to explain it at home. That is the conversation people are actually having. What got more expensive first for you? #MontyDimes

Darling Graham gas prices in South Carolina are extremely high—averaging over $4.13 a gallon! People are hurting at the pump, and we need real action, not excuses. Do something about this!

Hey Darline Graham, we can’t afford to eat meat anymore. Tell the president to take his “cheap mystery meat” and give Americans real, affordable steak. If you can’t fight for lower food prices, what are you doing in office? **We need someone who delivers real action.**

I overheard a couple with 2 kids arguing. He said, “I need gas to get to work.” She said, “I need food to feed the kids.” Tears came down. “We don’t have enough for both.” She said, “Three years ago, we did.”😕 You voted for Trump.😞 🙄. "Are You Going to vote for Higher gas and food Prices?"

Today, I’d like to thank Mr. President for all the “great” things he has accomplished: 1. Diesel: $3.10 → $6.40/gal 2. Gas: $2.50 → $4.25/gal 3. Vegetable prices: OUTRAGEOUS! 🥦 Causing diarrhea! 4. Health insurance: $100 → $600/month 5. Toilet paper: $8 → $18 Why??? 🤔

No more steak! 😂 Trump gave us ground beef! 🥩➡️🍔 Trump’s plan will import 100,000 tons of beef a month for 3 months to lower prices. So much for “America First.” Let’s "all eat steak!" Instead, we got, “Let’s all eat hamburgers!” 🇺🇸😂 Are grocery prices actually going down?
