   Once a fading memory in the United States, inflation is now out   
   of control in the catastrophe that is Dementia Joe Biden’s   
   America.   
      
   But let’s look on the bright side of Brandon’s double-digit   
   inflation – it’s getting easier and easier to lose weight. As   
   the Democrats attempt to turn the U.S. into Venezuela, consider   
   what happened there when Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro got a   
   chance to work their socialist magic.   
      
   In 2018, it was reported that the average Venezuelan had lost 24   
   pounds in the previous year, thanks to food shortages brought on   
   by runaway Biden-esque inflation.   
      
   That was the good news. The bad news was that animals in the   
   national zoo in Caracas were slaughtered by starving Biden   
   supporters, er, Maduro and Chavez voters.   
      
   I recalled this underreported upside of Biden’s south-of-the-   
   border dry run when I saw a quote from someone on state-run CNN   
   following the release of Biden’s latest Consumer Price Index   
   (CPI) disaster:   
      
   “Inflation is eating his presidency alive at this point.”   
      
   Good to see that someone, or something, is still getting three   
   squares a day.   
      
   For the record, the CPI last month rose 9.1 percent, and the   
   Producer Price Index (PPI) shot up 11.3 percent. But who   
   believes the numbers are that low? A website called Shadowstats   
   computes the true inflation rate, the way the feds used to   
   before…Democrats.   
      
   According to the real calculations, inflation under Biden last   
   month was in fact 17.3 percent, up from 16.8 percent in May.   
      
   Jimmy Carter is looking better by the day, isn’t he?   
      
   I like to check in with my listeners weekly on what they’re   
   seeing in what remains of the robust economy Brandon inherited   
   18 months ago. It seems like a long time ago — inflation was 1.4   
   percent and the price of gasoline in much of the country was   
   still under $2 a gallon.   
      
   Inflation, shrinkflation, shortages, shutdowns – I call this   
   segment of my show “Let’s Go Brandon!”   
      
   Let’s go straight to the texts and the phone calls:   
      
   From the 978 area code: “The dollar ice cream at McDonald’s is   
   now $2.27, and that’s when the machine is working!”   
      
   From 617: “I’ve been paying $150 a month for fuel to level out   
   my cost for the year. It was a great plan. Got a letter last   
   week saying my monthly payment is now $290 a month. Holy crap!   
   What’s going on here?”   
      
   From 508: “You can’t get a 10-inch bar pizza on the South Shore   
   for under $10 anymore. We used to pay $21.99 for 3 pizzas, large   
   salad and 2-liter soda. Now it’s $32.99.”   
      
   Mike from North Carolina: “You know how you order chicken wings   
   – 6, 8, or a dozen. Now instead of a price on the menu, it says,   
   ‘MP.’ Market price. They’re pricing chicken wings like lobsters!”   
      
   From 781: “Kingsford charcoal 20-lb. bag now 18 lbs. Same price.”   
      
   People have slowly started returning to movie theaters. Let’s   
   get some on-the-scene reports:   
      
   Mark: “My brother-in-law took his three young daughters and a   
   friend to see ‘The Minions’ on Friday night. It cost him $93 at   
   the concession stand for four little girls!”   
      
   A guy named Jack told me he went with his girlfriend to see the   
   new Top Gun movie. He ordered a large popcorn with butter and   
   the kid behind the counter told him they were out of butter. Out   
   of butter! For popcorn! I asked Jack why he didn’t just buy some   
   candy instead.   
      
   “I would have,” he said. “But they were out of candy too. All   
   they had left was Sno-Caps.”   
      
   You know, that could be listed as one of the counts in Biden’s   
   impeachment next year after the GOP takes control of the House   
   of Representatives. Only Sno-Caps at the multiplex is either a   
   high crime or a misdemeanor, probably the former.   
      
   Some of the ongoing calamities can be explained away, sort of. A   
   guy texted to complain that a bottle of Sol beer had shrunk to   
   11.2 ounces. Apparently that’s a metric-sized container used   
   outside the U.S.   
      
   It’s just that when you’re flush and not suffering through a
