    Egg prices reached another record high last
    month. It now costs American shoppers an
    average of $6.23 for a dozen eggs — nearly
    a five-fold increase since 2020.

    Yet while families have been squeezed by
    grocery sticker shock, agriculture
    corporations have been raking in record
    profits. Cal-Maine, the country’s largest
    egg producer, took in $509 million this
    quarter alone, tripling its profits from
    a year ago.

    Gouging consumers is bad enough. But it
    gets worse: Cal-Maine and other ag
    companies were breaking the bank at the
    same time they were also quietly getting
    millions in taxpayer-funded relief
    payments from the federal government.
    Congress and the Trump administration
    must put a stop to this: No company that
    is getting corporate subsidies should be
    allowed to hike prices and extract
    windfall profits from American consumers.

    tRump sez: give me a political donation, and you can gouge all you want.
