Biden's policies have not exactly been a "grand slam" for the economy as restaurants like Denny's are shrinking their value menus because they can't afford to keep prices low anymore due to Bidenflation.

Inflation is coming to a longtime refuge of price-conscious consumers: restaurant value menus.

Burger King, Denny's Corp. and Domino's Pizza Inc. are among the chains that are reducing their menu of discounted items or shrinking portions to try to improve their margins, executives said. Some chain executives hope the trimming of discount menus and meal deals might bring less pushback from consumers than straight price increases.

Poof! Just like that items are disappearing from the value menu.

Thanks a lot, Brandon.

McDonald's Corp. earlier this year began letting franchisees sell sodas for higher prices, after all sizes of the drinks were promoted nationally for a dollar for several years, the company and franchisees said. Denny's is promoting fewer low-cost items on its menus as the family-dining chain's executives said more customers are willing to pay for a sit-down experience.

"I want the $9 omelet. I want the gourmet pancakes. I want a second round of coffee. I'm not here for a deal," Denny's Chief Executive John Miller told investors last month. The chain still has a pancake meal deal starting at $4, but no longer advertises a whole value menu of items between $2 and $8, Mr. Miller said at an industry conference.

If I have to pay more than $1 for a large Mickey D's Sweet Tea I don't even know if I can go to that restaurant anymore.

Beyond all the jokes, it's really devastating that prices are increasing at such a staggering rate. It's hurting the pocketbooks of millions of working-class Americans.

Inflation is a tax on the poor, and this is just another sign of Democrat failures on a nationwide scale.
