WASHINGTON (TND) — Americans suffering from “hard times” thanks to inflation should simply consider eating cheaper food, a Democratic congressman suggested last month.
Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., said in an interview with Halston Media that his family has a history of eating foods like “Chef Boyardee” when high gas prices began to affect their budgets.
Rep. Maloney added “that’s what families have to do” when hard times come around, and suggests that’s what struggling American families should do right now.
Well, I grew up in a family where if the gas price went up, the food price went down, so by this time of the week we’d be eating Chef Boyardee if that budget wasn’t gonna change,” Maloney said in the interview with Halston Media’s owner Brett Freeman. “So that’s what families have to do. Here’s what we should do…”
Maloney then began listing Democrats’ proposed solutions to high prices, such as “capping seniors’ out-of-pocket costs in the Medicare program” and releasing millions of barrels from the strategic petroleum reserve.
Maloney’s opponent in the upcoming election, Mike Lawler, lambasted his comments on Twitter.
According to @spmaloney, Hudson Valley residents who are struggling to put gas in their tank and food on their table should eat Chef Boyardee!” Lawler said in his tweet. “I have a better idea — let’s Fire Sean Maloney and reduce inflation so that New Yorkers can afford to live here and eat what they want.”
Speaking with Fox News, Lawler said Maloney’s comments proved he was “out of touch” and why Maloney “will lose on Election Day”
Maloney’s communications director, Mia Ehrenberg, responded to Lawler’s tweet by claiming the clip was “horribly out of context,” and that Lawler’s tweet proved his “desperation” was “showing.”
Mike, your desperation is showing. Candidates who are winning don’t resort to taking things horribly out of context,” Ehrenberg wrote.
How about explaining to voters why you oppose the Inflation Reduction Act which cut prescription drug costs and is lowering energy costs?” Ehrenberg asked.

Now we learn what made America Great. Our Grandparents. They worked hard and lived frugally and gave us the best lives and opportunities. They did not live beyond their means and in Debt or live on credit or shop as a pass time. We did not have homes full of the latest and greatest crap and kids shared rooms we did not eat out and sometimes ate the same thing. They knew the ” DREAM” was not an entitlement they knew it was hard work and survival. The way Capitalism works IS prices go up that’s the whole point of having it unless you want state-subsidized Communism. SO don’t bitch about it DIG IN and BE an American. That’s what we do best. We have gotten soft. People bitch about the National Debt but much of goes to subsidizing Corporations to keep things cheap. So buck it up Princesses and stop falling for all the RAH RAH feel-good lies politicians are pandering to you with.
What good is a paper Ballot when they were Entered into the SCANNER !!! DUGH
