I reported earlier about egg prices now starting to come down. They're now dropped over $1.85 a dozen from their high earlier this month, and are lower than when President Donald Trump came into office. This comes about a week and a half after Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced a five point plan to lower prices. So it looks like the market is having a very positive reaction to the plan. She noted it might tick up a little with Easter demand, but it looks like it's finally trending in the right direction -- down.
That sounds a lot like winning to me. I don't think Joe Biden did anything except make the situation worse. Eggs tend to go up when you kill millions of chickens.
We're not hearing a lot from the liberal media or the Democrats on this news about egg prices going down, because it's going to stomp all over their narrative. That was a dumb talking point for them to make, but so far they haven't been dealing very well with Trump. They've had a lot of dumb talking points.

There's also good news about gas prices as well.
The average price of gas in the country has dropped for the third straight week. It's now at $3.03 per gallon.
The price fell 0.6 cents from last week’s average of $3.04, and is down 8.9 cents from one month ago and 36.7 cents from a year ago, hitting the lowest March price in four years, GasBuddy reported Monday.
All 50 states are now seeing lower prices than a year ago, with Ohio and Michigan being the ones whose prices have dropped the most, over 50 cents a gallon.
That's particularly important right as we head into spring, when you usually start seeing gas prices go up with the demand and the warmer weather.
The report cited "uncertainty" over tariffs as one reason for the decrease. But they also said that "OPEC+, a coalition of oil-producing countries including Saudi Arabia would be "restoring oil production after nearly two years of cuts has added downward pressure on oil prices." They're going to start producing more in April.
President Trump had asked Saudi Arabia to increase their oil production and lower prices in January, Now they are doing so.
Trump, of course, is also trying to up domestic production, doing things like putting the 625 million acres that Biden banned from further oil and gas leases back into play "on the balance sheet." That's going to help bring us back to energy independence so we don't have to rely upon fluctuations or crises elsewhere in the world. That's what it means to ensure our own security. Now we can also replenish our reserves that Biden robbed to help himself and the Democrats out politically. He should never have touched that supply which is supposed to be for emergencies.
Lower oil prices are central part of Trump's plan to bring down inflation, since high gas prices are a big component in inflation. So that may have a positive impact on other prices as well. I'm starting to see those reports about grocery prices anecdotally too, so we may have more on that to report to you soon as well.
