“Maybe They’re Manipulating You”– Tucker Exposes “Shrinkflation”
Joe Biden’s economy has been a complete disaster.
The February inflation rate soared to 7.9% — a 40-year-high.
Now, there are worries that Biden’s inflation issues might be even worse than the government is letting on.
It’s because of “shrinkflation.”
“Shrinkflation” is when manufacturers give you less of a product despite you having to pay more or the same amount for the product.
Here are examples Tucker gave:
— The amount of Cheerios you get has dropped from 19.3oz to 18.1oz.
— You are getting 18 fewer sheets in “Bounty triple” paper towels.
— A bag of Doritos has gotten smaller – Americans now get 5 fewer chips per bag.
That wasn’t all. Tucker also pointed out that the government is no longer tracking this consistently – despite the fact they are supposed to.
Partial transcript:
“The government is supposed to track shrinkflation as part of the CPI, the consumer price index but has not been doing it consistently… that’s kind of weird… I wonder why? Maybe so you won’t know the scale of what is happening”
