That's because your grocery bill is the result of the FREE MARKET™, which automatically means it is the correct price. And if it's not the correct price, it will be once INVISIBLE HAND™ lays it's sacred touch upon them, which will be very soon. And if it isn't very soon its only because not enough HARD WORKING ENTREPRENEURS™ have realized the AMERICAN DREAM™ and how very dare you question the process you COMMIE PINKO™
Government intervention is only for NATIONAL INTERESTS™ and the nation is not interested in your grocery bill, peasant! I hope Satan brought you some Ayn Rand books for Christmas!!
Seriously, though: even if he wanted to, Biden could not change the laissez-faire capitalist dumpster fire sold to America by economic witch doctors like Milton Friedman and Alan Greenspan. The resulting class system is too entrenched. The most realistic solution to me seems to be to partition the country, like India. But instead of Hindus and Muslims, you'll partition along the lines of anarcho-capitalists and people who aren't in a death cult.
Apologies to real witch doctors everywhere.
