America just got a rare piece of good news on the grocery front: egg prices have fallen nearly 18 percent from last year. That’s right—families are paying less for a dozen eggs, dropping from a staggering $6.23 to just $5.12. This sharp decline comes despite Easter hitting during the same month, a seasonal bump that normally drives prices sky-high. It’s a clear sign that market forces, not government hand-wringing, work best to bring prices back down.
Take a moment to appreciate how absurd it is that Americans had to suffer through record-breaking egg prices in the first place. Under Biden’s watch, inflation soared to unthinkable levels, squeezing every working-class family’s budget. Eggs became a symbol of the Democrats’ complete failure to manage the economy—a pocketbook crisis no one in Washington seemed eager to fix. Now, as prices take a sharp dive, it’s obvious the free market is correcting itself, while liberal policies only prolonged the pain.
Let’s not kid ourselves: this price drop did not come from endless government spending or endless corporate bailouts. It happened because supply chains stabilized and producers could finally catch their breath. It’s the same principle that conservatives have been preaching all along—less government, more common sense, and hands off the markets. Meanwhile, progressive elites keep pushing green energy fantasies and endless regulations that throttle productivity and drive inflation higher.

The irony is striking. Left-wing politicians spent months blaming “greedy corporations” and “supply chain chaos” for skyrocketing egg prices. Yet here we are, witnessing the largest single-month price drop since 1984 after the Easter rush. If market forces can bring down prices so dramatically, maybe these politicians should stop blaming imaginary villains and start fostering a business-friendly environment that actually works for American families.
Here’s a little advice for the next campaign season: voters remember when everyday items like eggs become unaffordable. They also notice when things get better, thanks not to Washington’s intervention, but despite it. Liberals might try to spin this victory as luck or an Easter miracle. But it’s simple economics and common sense working their magic. The big question is this—how long can the left cling to their failed policies before America demands leaders who understand that freedom and free enterprise are the ultimate recipe for economic stability?
