On the other hand, that may be why every agency in the federal government has been militarized, for instance, the request for sub-machineguns by the Dept of Agriculture!

Retired 30 years already...imagine trying to get by on very adequate income of that long ago. It cuts purchasing power by at least 1/3.
According to our government by ObamaNation food and fuel are not figured into inflation rates.
Bob probably never goes shopping, besides what else would you expect a socialist to say?
I keep thinking what my maternal grandmother used to say everytime we took her shopping, “if I didn’t have to eat, I’d be rich.” B-P

All you have to do is look at the “Size”of the packages at the supermarket.What was 16oz. is now 140z.;what was 1lb. is now 13oz.A “pound”of coffee is now maybe 11-12oz.One half-gallon of ice cream is now 48oz.They are trying to”Disguise”it,but it’s THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s a Bought and Paid For STOOGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“The pace of U.S. beef and pork exports increased sharply in March, driven by double-digit increases to leading markets Mexico, the China/Hong Kong region and South Korea, according to statistics released by the USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF).”
Oh, yeah. They're saving the economy alright, by exporting your natural resources instead of manufactured products.
That has to be rough...doubt I’ll make 30 years in retirement. Will be retiring at 67 or 68.
This is true in Australia, also. Even shopping always for the most economical fresh ingredients, to be cooked at home, has become expensive.

Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned. Vegetables should be grown in the eastern Midwest and the Southeast. Same with laws and policies.
I have heard Brinker on and off for a decade or more. I find his show rather dry since I don’t have a whole lot of bread to shuffle around between accounts, but I digress. Bob Brinker can praise some market future index investment area with flying colors, then obliquely allude to the gross mismanagement of the government in another breath without connecting the two. He pretends like the collapse of the government under its own weight is a fantasy.
The market can and is manipulated constantly.
Invest in a garden and actual food, I have been doing it since before he took office. Most food will last several years in cans and so consume the oldest first and constantly rotate your can goods.
A safer and higher return is pretty much a given when you consider the amount of money floating around since O got elected.
If by food stocks you mean actual food, ignore my post since I am preaching to the choir.
No. It's the greedy capitalist wreckers!...
Likely they are in league with spies and saboteurs?...
Maybe it's the failure of the 5 Year Plan Managers, Shoot them!
No, wait. It's the weather. That's it. It's the weather!!
I don’t understand why more people don’t comment on the shrinking size of products. I used to buy half gallons of ice cream. Now the size is 1.5 quarts. Lays chips used to come in 14 oz bags now it is 9 or 9.5 oz bags. Tubes of toothpaste are smaller. Not all but many packages of bacon come in 14 oz size instead of 1 lbs.
Brinker. He’s that hypnotist on the radio, right? Always put me out in five to ten minutes.
Because people are satisfied living as mushrooms...
Oh. the federal government doesn’t count food or fuel in its bogus inflation figures. After all, people don’t eat and drive.
