Trumponomics is back: Tech-bros are delighted, but the price of eggs is soaring

Salon  

During the presidential campaign last year, Donald Trump made a series of speeches and appearances at economic clubs around the country. Trump evidently believes he won the election because he used the word "groceries," which he thinks was a unique and brilliant innovation that he was the first to deploy in a presidential campaign. As NBC News reports, one of Trump's executive orders on his first day rescinded Biden's policy to study how to further "lower prescription drug costs for people on Medicare and Medicaid," as well as how to enhance the Affordable Care Act and increase protections for Medicaid recipients. Whether the Trump administration will seek to roll back the $35 monthly cap on insulin, the $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap on prescription drugs or Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug pricing isn't clear, but he called those programs "radical" and "deeply unpopular," which is an outright lie. But Trump's freeze of NIH programs and his muzzling of public health agencies is also going to lead not just to potentially deadly health outcomes but higher costs as well.
