When Trump and his party blamed Joe Biden for the high price of eggs during the campaign, one seldom heard......

......the painfully accurate, but politically unappetizing, observation that government actions and policy had little effect on the day to day price of eggs. The "unseen hand of market forces", a republican's favorite talking point in the past, which also includes thing like the avian flu, was ignored. Now our democratic leadership in congress doubles down on this absurd expectation of presidential powers with their "strongly worded" letter to Trump complaining about (wait for it) the "price of eggs". I'd suggest that a similarly strongly worded letter taking Trump to task for his wrecking ball tactics, which he is wielding in the dismantling of numerous necessary government functions, and perhaps even comparing them to a classic understanding of "Anarchism".
