This year we have a huge garden. And a masticating juicer. And we split a calf with a neighbor that we raise on his property with his other beef.

I’m also building a 30x35 greenhouse.

We might have to cut out bacon, though.

Destroying the middle class is the traditional marxist's goal.

No middle class, no stability leading to collapse, remake society in your image.

We are going to get a couple of Nigerian Dwarf goats. Free milk, cream and butter.

Grocery shopping last night I had a brief conversation with another shopper. She was all excited to purchase “chicken burgers with feta/spinach added. I remarked that, that was being done because beef is too expensive for most folks. The grocery store is trying to make eating cheaper still sound good to the wanna-be foodies. I was shocked when her quizzical look disappeared and she suddenly realized I was right.

We bumped into each other again in front of the hotdogs/sausage section and I pointed out that the “fancy” chicken and apple/chicken and bacon sausages were cheaper than the pork hotdogs.

My take away from this. I do not think the average American grocery shopper knows why the food prices are skyrocketing. And for now, the grocery stores are cutting back on the more expensive stuff and dressing up the cheaper cuts & meats.

They’re just now figuring this out? Food prices have increased 50% since 2008.

you know what will really help the middle class right now? New EPA regulations on energy production that will “skyrocket” the cost of electricity. And to help even more shut down oil exploration because of prairie chickens and sand lizards. Also, let’s force them to buy new insurance that costs twice as much and provides half as much service.

"There are some mitigating factors in these price increases."

Grammar Police Alert: Incorrect use of the word mitigating.

Prices higher, product in package smaller. Next potty break, look at the distance between the end of the tp roll and the end of the holder. The roll might still advertise 1000 sheets, but the rolls are thinner.

It doesn’t threaten the underclass or the poor?

Not to worry. Ramen noodles are still cheap, according to the Allstate Insurance guy.

What until people can’t heat their homes this winter thanks to obama’s lack of energy policy, no keystone, outlawing coal, a war in the middle east because we’ve decided that we should let chaos rein and anarchy run supreme...how nice.
