An $18 McDonald's meal is an $18 McDonald's meal...

It amazes me the length the "reporter" from CNN tries to justify why this is the case. Quite comical. Jim Moore level stuff.

    Clearly we need to end immigration. Daddy’s plan is for you to pay Americans higher wages for doing shitty jobs. Totally non-inflationary!

    So your point is that inflation will be worse if Trump is elected? If so, please attempt to prove it. Or are you just trying to defend the fact that you democrats and your elitist leaders fucked up the economy and have raised the cost of living for all Americans especially those who can least afford it? Either way you are a dishonest idiot.

    The article is hilarious. Everything is more expensive, inflation is high, people can't afford a new home, car prices are through the roof, energy, cable, internet is more expensive, fuel and grocery prices are ridiculous. But the left just can't figure out why the little people aren't happy with the economy. Its a liberal mystery.....

    The article says the real story is that the guy chose to spend that much money on a combo meal. In their twisted thinking, this is proof the economy is actually good - because one guy with the means could afford the combo meal, which was no doubt expensive because the pimple-faced high school kids and meth heads cooking said burger deserved a LIVING WAGE. Of course, the people working there couldn't afford said burger, fries, and diet mountain dew which is likely the real story.

    I'm sure prices will be flat when Americans are making $30 an hour picking apples.

    Was out on Sunday and the local Homegrown workers were striking in front of it. They probably all make $19/hour.

    Well, that is exactly what the article writer and you are trying to explain right? The economy is great!!!!!!!! If you don't like it, or can't afford it, suffer bitch.

    Do you even attempt to be honest, ever?

    One of the dazzler's claim to moral superiority over us Neanderthals is that he really cares. About what he can't explain, but it certainly isn't about the downtrodden or the average American family.
