Trump Blames Biden for Egg Price Surge as States Eye Tax Cuts

As the cost of groceries, particularly eggs, continues to rise across the country, several states are considering eliminating their sales taxes on groceries. Currently, only nine states still tax groceries, and lawmakers are hearing complaints from constituents about the high prices of household staples.

President Trump has blamed the soaring price of eggs on his predecessor, former President Biden, rather than the bird flu, which has been a significant factor in the price increase. The president has also taken credit for his administration's swift and unrelenting action in addressing the issue, including the suspension of a cage-free egg law in Nevada.

The number of states taxing groceries has been decreasing in recent years, with Oklahoma and Kansas eliminating their state levies on groceries. However, the high cost of groceries continues to be a concern for many Americans, with January home sales falling due to high mortgage rates and prices.

Trump has also addressed the issue of rising grocery prices in his speeches, acknowledging the frustration of many Americans over the increasing costs of groceries. As the trade war with China, Canada, and other countries continues, the impact of tariffs on the cost of goods, including groceries, remains a topic of concern for many.
