And that's okay. Sometimes we don't have a full grasp of how things operate.
You're saying that attacking runaway inflation in the food industry will lead to less rosy overall inflation numbers.
This literally makes no sense. You don't attack Inflation by giving out more money. That just increases Inflation and costs continue to rise significantly.
So, what you're proposing is just going to make things more expensive, including groceries.
You're not doing anything to combat the rising costs. This is where you seem confused.
A stimulus or vouchers will only make the price of goods go up as more money is pumped into the economy. That's a big reason Inflation surged in the first place: not only were Americans given multiple stimulus checks, but the economy essentially shut down, so Americans didn't spend as much in 2020 and had a significant amount of disposable income (also a result of millions having rent freezes so they weren't paying rent + student loan freezes so they weren't paying on that too) once everything opened again.
They then pumped a lot of money into the economy, which kicked up demand and that generally leads to higher prices.
Giving Americans another stimulus is only going to make things more expensive (including bread!) Then you're in a perpetual cycle of giving more money out to make up for the rise in costs and it is not sustainable.
You should look into Venezuela's battle with hyperinflation because what you're proposing is a contributing factor to their continued situation.
