Well, well, well—looks like the Nevada Democrats are patting themselves on the back for fixing a problem they created in the first place.
If you’ve been to the grocery store lately and felt your wallet get a little lighter buying a dozen eggs, you can thank them for that.
Just a few years ago, Nevada Democrats decided it would be a brilliant idea to pass a law mandating only “cage-free” eggs be sold in the state.
Sounds nice, right? Happy chickens, happy people?
Well, not exactly. Turns out that when you force suppliers to overhaul their entire production process, it drives costs through the roof.
Add in supply chain issues and rising inflation, and what do you get? Sky-high egg prices and empty shelves.
Who could have seen that coming? (Spoiler alert: pretty much everyone with common sense.)
Now, after months of public outcry, the very same Democrats who caused the problem are acting like heroes for “fixing” it.
The Nevada Legislature recently passed a bill to temporarily suspend their cage-free requirement, a move Governor Joe Lombardo has rightly said doesn’t go far enough.
Instead of a Band-Aid solution, Lombardo is calling for a permanent repeal of the mandate—because, unlike the Democrats, he understands basic economics.
But instead of admitting they made a mistake, Nevada Democrats are using this whole mess as a fundraising opportunity.
Yep, you read that right.
They’re sending out emails asking for donations to “hold Republicans accountable” for high grocery prices—prices that went up because of their own policies!
It’s like setting your house on fire and then asking your neighbors to pay you to put it out.
Let’s break it down:
- They passed a law making eggs more expensive.
- People got mad because eggs got too expensive.
- They panicked and temporarily changed the law.
- Now, they want you to give them money for it.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Meanwhile, Governor Lombardo is the only adult in the room, pushing for a permanent repeal so Nevadans won’t have to deal with this nonsense again in the future.
He understands that government mandates don’t make food cheaper or more accessible—they do the exact opposite.
Free markets, competition, and common sense? That’s how you keep prices down.
Of course, Democrats don’t want to hear that.
Instead, they’re too busy blaming former President Trump, claiming his tariffs and policies are what’s driving up food costs.
Never mind that Biden’s inflation disaster has made everything more expensive, from gas to groceries to housing. The left loves a good distraction.
At the end of the day, this whole debacle proves one thing: Democrats are great at creating problems and even better at pretending to solve them—while asking for donations, of course.
So next time you’re standing in the grocery aisle, staring at those overpriced eggs, just remember: this is what happens when you let clueless politicians play chicken with the economy.
