Site, eh?
Site? As in blog site?
This is nonsense. According to the Consumer Price Index, inflation is negligible.
It’s certainly not something the media is talking about.
My guess is that EBT cards and WIC will soon have increases. I won’t have any increases in my pay but I’ll get to help pay for those that sit on their welfare collecting azzes.
That's Steve Quayle as in the one who is a regular on C2CAM and Infowars? That Steve Quayle?
But I guess it's silly to ask you a question like that.
It doesn't look like replying to comments is your strong suit:

Bull crap. Let's see the statistics to back that up.
Chickens are sent to China to be plucked and sent back!
Yes food prices are sky rocketing right along with growth in food stamps. A family of 4 can receive around $840 per month in food stamps. They have no incentive to save any of it, so they go on a buying binge. When you see an overloaded shopping cart, watch how they pay for it at the checkout.
If the supermarkets paid ALL their employees a living wage, their troubles would be over.
Store corporate headquarters usually in other states determine store stocking and inventory policies rather than relying on local managers who know their customers habits and the communities and allowing them to maximize on that aspect. Corp wants every store to be a Yuppie store or heavy ethnic. BTW I have not once in my life seen anyone buy Chitlings but darned every store carries them.
Then they try to sell things like crock pots, skillets, coffee makers, etc which are about 20% higher than a big box store. I kid you not one store I know has about 1200 square feet devoted to bottled water. In say California, Florida, etc that may wise but East Tennessee? The biggest loss in sales likely comes from computerized inventory that isn't verified. Meaning simply the computer shows 100 items of Brand X beans and none are on the shelf. Computer stats show no one is buying brand X beans so brand X is discontinued. Yeah I can see why profits are low.
Too many stores are trying to sell everything instead of Groceries. That works if you're Walmart {even though their food section is now pathetic} and have a one stop store. Not even Krogers can do that and I went in one a couple months ago that tried to be a department store. The two really don't mix. Even with Walmart I don't buy the majority of my food there I go to a grocery store because I do not like Great Value Brand food products.
While raising our two children we had a vegetable garden every year and we raised our own beef cattle. We also heated our house with wood heat, so we also had to harvest trees for firewood every year. After both or children were gone, we got away from all of that.
Last year we started up a small vegetable garden again and my wonderful bride brought out all of her old canning supplies. We are loving it all, all over again.
This year we put in the garden again....we are already harvesting some things...I AM LOVING IT!! I have already began planning for next years garden and it will be at least twice the size of our present garden.
Both of our grown children have their own places and they each have their own gardens.
We raise chickens for eggs and ducks and geese for fun....although they can be eaten if need be.
I have landscaped almost every square foot of our 5 acres...it’s a hobby, so I don’t think we will raise cattle again. However, because of our apple trees, we always have plenty of deer around, should that become necessary. ;>)
For anyone who bothers to learn the basics, raising a small vegetable garden is easy....it will save you some money and your food will be better for you...and tastier. I can’t speak for canning, other than to say that my wife makes it look easy. She makes killer pickles and her spicy canned tomatoes are to die for. I use the canned tomatoes to make my soup for lunch....sometimes I simply dump the tomatoes into a bowl and eat it cold.
Um, ... Which Cite - Sight - Site?
And the government is intentionally killing off the California produce growing industry so they can serve UN Agenda 21 and promote food importation from outside the USA. What could go wrong? LOL.
There are consequences to the government printing money. The value of the currency declines and the cost of items needed to survive such as food and medical care skyrocket. If it wasn’t for the fracking energy boom we’d be paying $5.00 per gallon of gas.
There are consequences to the environmental policies that take land out of production. The government caused California disaster will do permanent damage to our nation’s food supply and result in more imported food.
The government mandated burning of corn for auto fuel has distorted the grain markets.
The U.S. Government still pays landowners not to grow in the face of escalating prices.
The skyrocketing price of food is a perfect issue for the opposition party to be using everyday. Instead, the GOP leadership remains silent and allows the left to set the political agenda.
Prices rising, contents shrinking.
I see Obama on a campaign against small farmers and ranchers (who generally lean conservative) in favor of large corporate agriculture (which tend to support Dems, if they know what's good for them).
What about oppressive government regulations?
