Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[May 13, 2025]
Inflation remains at a four-year low in the latest Consumer Price Index report.
📉 Grocery prices declined the most in 5 years
📉 Gas prices are down for the 3rd month in a row
📉 Inflation is lower than expected for the 3rd straight month
GOP economic policies are working!

There is much hilarity in the responses:

This is Trump speak! Check your facts Mark! I thought you were a better person than you are showing! Sad!

Normal for inflation to be level during a recession.

Yep. Inflation cools when unemployment rises and consumer spending decreases.

We sure are seeing the result of “Republican economic policies”, to quote Alford, and it’s amazing in 3 short months how those policies shot everything to hell.

….I’m not sure where you’re shopping…

A little early in the morning to be drinking, isn’t it?

What dream world are you living in – oh the orange circus

I call BS. Even the prices at Aldi’s have gone up

Why must you lie nonstop!?

because he is a member of the Maga cult. Dishonesty is their language of choice

I just spent $200 at the grocery store. Didn’t buy much. If you think that grocery store prices are down, you aren’t a very smart person.

I spent $134 at the grocery last Friday. The only meat I purchased was precooked Turkey sausage.

[….] ..I have no idea where you are shopping or getting your gas, but our gas has not went down and the grocery certainly hasn’t!!!

research would shopping for food and filling my tank be research? My research show that in my local area the information he posted is horsesh&t

In what store do you or any of your cohorts shop at oh wait you don’t have to worry about shopping

Grocery prices are not down at all.

saying things over and over again do not make them true

I’m not experiencing lower prices either. My gas is def still high considering it shouldn’t be. I wish grocery stores would reverse their increases. But will only put things on sale rather than reverse all the upticks they have done. I wish government would penalize businesses for gouging.

Gas went UP 10 cents in my town in the last 2 days. $2.99

Not cheaper in the Midwest Not cheaper in KC! I don’t know where you get your data but it’s not local to your constituents!

Where are you shopping?!? Nothing has gone down in price in the Kansas City area.

Gas has not moved and no groceries have gotten cheaper and the cost of living still up so maybe go back and check the actual numbers!!!

Eggs are still over 5 dollars at Walmart. I don’t see prices down where we shop in Sedalia.

Not seeing gas prices decline. When left this morning Belton QT regular gas 2.87; when I came home this afternoon prices raised to $2.99. Why?

Nope
Prices are up

Are you high again?

Mark Alford Do you live in Missouri? What exactly are are the GOP policies?

Where do you shop?

Working for the rich !!

Hey Mark. When was the last time you went grocery shopping?

Isn’t it hysterical how Alford is claiming how prices and inflation is so wonderful when just a few months ago he was calling the same prices and inflation out of control. Gaslighting and hypocrisy is his two top qualities.

The consumer price index, a key inflation gauge, rose 2.3% in April from 12 months earlier.
Eggs, Trump’s go-to issue, increased 49.3%.
This is a deflection anyway. Alford does not want you to look at the “big beautiful budget” that make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Moscow Mark, you’re in the dark….

You aren’t doing your own shopping apparently

Where do you live?

He’s just spreading the same BS as Trump.

Yea, but the guy who started it last time is back. This time he trying to make inflation and recession happen at the same time. Grow a pair and do your job.

What type of drugs you taking Congressman Mark Alford

But the shrinking GDP isn’t your fault, right?

Mr. Alford, when will you have a real, in-person, town hall, instead of another meet and greet, or a rigged, virtual town halls where you get to pick who attends and what questions you’ll answer? Where you have to listen to your constituents instead of just talking at them to tell them your party’s line?

We’re not fools, we’re out there everyday shopping.

Yes dear leader, I’ll say whatever you want dear leader, can I please get a photo with you dear leader, you’re the greatest golfer ever dear leader, can I get an invite to Mar-a-Looney dear leader, can I apply your orange paint dear leader. Kim jong-un doesn’t have sycophants as toady as elected MAGA republicans.

You really need to take a look at your disinformation. But for me, milk went up 53 cents a gallon and I shop at the cheapest place I can. Inflation is way up, thanks to your buddy

I’m from Belton and I’m telling you right now that you are spilling BS.

Belton.

Let’s talk about the ongoing constitutional crises.

Your whole party is gaslighting.
Why do you want to increase the debt ceiling again and cut public service, Medicaid, and increase funding to defense and I.C.E.?!
$40k bonuses to I.C.E. agents?? Fed and State employees don’t get bonuses!
Start working for your constituents and quit the loyalty to a fascist.

I just bought butter. It was twice the price when compared to a year ago. But sure. Keep licking Trumps boots. Or whatever you’re licking.

Lies. Please just stop insulting our intelligence

you lie like you breathe. constantly.

Because the orange jackass keeps folding on his tariffs as they manipulate the stock market to make billions for himself and his insider cronies.

This is the most corrupt president in American history. Taking an airplane from Qatar is not OK in anyone’s book. ICE has been disappearing people without due process. And our government is being dismantled. Why don’t you pay attention to the important things going on in this country right now.

Yeah…gas prices are down to 1.98 according to the president.

The consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2 percent last month and is up 2.3 percent over the past year
The annual inflation rate without volatile food or energy prices was 2.8 percent.
In March, the inflation rate was 2.4% and prices rose 0.1 percent.
My math says that means things are getting worse.

“OH, we won’t touch Medicaid….. You said that, Congressman

Where do you get your economic news? We are heading to a recession by the end of the summer; independent news is reporting bare shelves starting next week.

I shop for a living. I’m at the grocery store for my clients 5 times a day and not only are you a liar, you’re a god damn liar. Prices at aldi and Walmart even have gone up drastically. Why the FUCK do you insist on gaslighting? You know if you keep it up, this will be your last round In politics. Lying pos

Here is the truth. People voted Republican NOT for what the party can do for them, but what the party does against people they h8, which is just about everyone who isn’t a WASP.

None of that is true and you know it’s a lie. My god man do you think everyone is stupid?

as a member of Congress, it is your responsibility to either approve of illegal gifts from foreign nations, or to admonish those who illegally benefit privately from foreign influence.
Why are you shirking your responsibilities?

So your drinking the kool-aid. My gas prices are still up .60 per gallon. Grocery prices are not down at all and I’m still waiting to see about produce availability. Get off that kool-aid.
