Scares the fed???
Know how it scares me and my spouse?
What’s the % for bullets?
I'm economy-ignorant, but even I can read the writing on the wall. It makes me a bit leery of my retirement plans because I'll be locked in at pre-inflation starting numbers and the buffer I've built up may not withstand the assault.
Why are they scared?
All they have to do is exclude food from the CPI as “too volatile” and tell the LIVs there is no inflation.
Everyone who goes to the grocery store knows prices are going up fast. From one week to the next an item will go up 10%. Its very worrisome. Stockpile food while its still affordable.
For decades the government, using the ‘Cheap Food for the Public’( often called the Farm Program) paid farmer not to plant all of the acres they could.
Freepers complained long and loud, mocking the programs.
When ethanol came along and farmers could make more money by not enrolling in the ‘set aside’ programs I began warning Freepers that they wouldn’t like the results.
Now farmers were are no longer slaves to the government who had chosen cheap food for voters at the expense of farmers for more than 60 years.
It’s not coincidence that high food prices come along with financial freedom for farmers.
A choice has been made; we got rid of cheap food, government farm subsidies, and poor farmers. Now we have higher priced food with much less government involvement and financially free farmers.
Each Freeper can decide for themselves, was it more fun to mock farmers for being paid not to grow crops, or is it more fun to complain about high food prices?
