Hoarding? Inflation?

My same-type purchases weekly grocery purchases have risen from $25-30 three years ago to $45-50 two years ago to $60-65 this year.

I could easily list many items that have increased by 50¢ or more, and they are not ‘seasonal’ items. I could list many more items that have ‘shrunk’ in content and had their price either remain the same or rise a few cents.

Inflation is out there. ‘They’ just hide it.

Dear friends at the gubmint: I realize that this idea seems to be anachronistic, but it's not called "hoarding". It's called "saving".

If you were lucky, your parents instilled it in you as a necessary virtue, and in the long run is one of those things that separates life winners from life's losers.

How dare Americans attempt to protect themselves!!

Many just don’t have the money. It’s not that they are hording .

Federal deficit, leading to inflation

Taxes, regulations, minimum wage laws, and pro-union policies causing businesses to lay off workers, go bankrupt or relocate

Extreme environmental policies, causing businesses to close and prices to increase

Extensions on unemployment benefits, paying people to stay unemployed, running up the deficit and putting a greater burden on the working people.

Right! People who where generally strapped for cash prior to 2009 are now hording it.

In an economy that has fewer jobs, lower pay and significantly higher every day prices like $3.75 gas and $3.25 ground beef, both more than 100% higher than 2009.

In a Job other than the government, this sub-moron would immediately fired for sheer stupidity. In the Obama World, I am sure he is due for a raise and a promotion.

hoarding my eye, not too many folks have money these days except the super wealthy, professional sports figures and the DC politicians.

“Americans are hoarding money”

Yeh what little we have left.

[cashless]

And of course by Americans, they are referring to the banks right? That is where all the Trillion$ we poor slobs we paid in taxes and inflation wound up. Only the .1% and .01% made significant wealth increases and they are all friends with the bankers ESPECIALLY the Federal Reserve bandits.

[Rummyfan]

Every day there is some statement released by the federal government that indicates that the pols and bureaucrats think that America would be just wonderful.... without Americans!

[factoryrat]

How in the hell can Americans hoard money when 3/4ths of us are living from paycheck to paycheck? And that money isn’t being blown on luxury items either. Utilities, fuel, food, and housing eat up the majority of the money most people earn. And low inflation? Are you kidding me? Been to a grocery store or gas station lately?

Wot an idiot!

Did this guy have a brain when he was born?

Was it replaced by a golf ball?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

“Young lady, did you hoard all that money by yourself?”

“No sir - my sister whored some of it too”

[HP8753]

Hoarding money? Yep that's me.
They must be talking about the blue quart jar for pocket change on my dresser.
That is the only money I can afford to hoard.
