Every food item I can think of has gone up dramatically in the last five years. Hmmn, about as long as Obama has been around the White House. Every restaurant I go to has printed new menus, with higher prices. My favorite pizza is 50 percent higher in cost than a decade ago. What the heck is this less than 2 percent annual inflation figure based on? It sure isn't based on food I eat.

Our homes.
The worst thing is out token “president” repeats the lie that there is no inflation, then supports minimum wage hikes to deal with that very inflation.
At least they get to screw the SS recipients out of their true inflation adjustments...
