“Red Lobster Restaurants Throw in the Towel”

Bill Bunkley’s “This Is Something to Think About Commentary”

Air Date Thursday, May 16, 2024

It’s a sign of the times President Biden doesn’t want you to notice. In Joe’s limited cognitive world and that of his administration, they are telling you that everything is just fine regarding the rising inflationary costs of your household budget. They say you’re not evaluating Bidenomics from the proper perspective, and the economy is just fine.

If so, why is the legendary seafood restaurant Red Lobster throwing in the towel, filing bankruptcy, and closing 17 Florida locations, including two in Tampa and one in Largo? In all, 20 other states are also experiencing closings. 

To explain the current economy, you must go back to 1992, when Bill Clinton’s campaign consultant James Carville declared, “It’s the economy, stupid,” explaining why President George H. W. Bush was losing the election. 

History does repeat itself.
