You don’t have to see it because the government is hoping you don’t.Food and gas must never have gone up in your area in the past 20 years.Are you in comedy?

I didn't say they didn't go up. I said I have seen nothing close to the hyper inflation of a "95% decline" in purchasing power. Read what I wrote. last week gas was $2.98. In 1970. It was $.50. So that is an increase of $2.50 over 30 years, or less than 1% per year. And that includes the real hyperinflation of the late 70s ( as defined by prices rising 10% a year ).

To see the devaluation you claim, milk would be over $50 a gallon, gas over $200.
