Price war, cheap meals at drive-thrus? Certainly not a trick.

The fast-food industry is feeling the Bern! With so many Americans getting slammed by inflation, it's no surprise these big-name chains are offering up cheap, socialist-style value meals. But watch out: their definition of "value" is as deceptive as Hillary Clinton's smile.

The Fast Food Socialist Agenda: a War on Your Wallet

The bell has rung, folks, and the heavyweight champs of fast food are entering the ring to duke it out. But this time, instead of battling for your taste buds, they're fighting to see who can give you the most pathetic, government-approved "value meal."

We all know the usual suspects:

McDonald's, with their pathetic $5 Meal Deal.
Wendy's, trying to buy your love with a $3 breakfast.
Burger King, thinking they can get away with a $5 Whopper Jr.
And let's not forget Taco Bell, ringing in at a whopping $7 for their "Luxe" Cravings Box.

But the fun doesn't stop there, my hungry amigos. Olive Garden, yes that Olive Garden, is bringing back their Never Ending Pasta Bowl at $13.99. Can I get a "Socialism: Bon Appétit!"?

Some of these deals are so good, they might just be too good. Like McDonald's $5 Meal Deal - it's been around for what, a century now? But don't worry, they're "working to extend the deal." Why? Because we can't go a day without our McChicken and fries, that's why.

But here's the kicker: all this talk of deals and discounts, and these clown chains are still seeing sales declines. I'm no economist, but maybe, just maybe, it's time to stop pandering to the left-wing, deal-seeking snowflakes and give the people what they really want: a return to good ol' fashioned, free-market priced cuisine.

You want a real deal? Try Hardee's new $5.99 bag deal or Carl's Jr.'s "More Bang, Less Buck" menu. Now that's what I call a steak dinner. And for those of you who want to keep those dollar bills in your pocket, might I suggest the Taco John's BOGO for a buck deal? Because nothing says 'murica like a good old buck.

So, folks, while the Fast Food Socialists are busy waging their War on Wallets, just remember: in the wise words of our founding fathers, "give me liberty, or give me death (by fast food)."
