I know you are completely wrong because on December 5th, 2010, Ben Bernanke told Steve Kroft, "The Federal Reserve will not allow inflation to rise above two percent or less … We could raise interest rates in 15 minutes if we have to … there really is no problem with raising rates, tightening monetary policy, slowing the economy [and] reducing inflation at the appropriate time … I have one hundred percent confidence in our ability to control this." And we all know how competent the Wee Wee and his senior advisers are when it comes to micromanaging the economy.

We are cutting back, plus have plans for a huge family garden next spring, going to get those old canning cook books out. I hate to have to go back to canning and freezing of my youth, but I don’t think those is going to be much choice.

Hello from Chicago. I just got back from my weekly grocery shopping and I want to start an inflation report. Beef was up 33% from a month ago. Milk fluctuates wildly. My grocery bill was 25% higher than a month ago and my cart was 15% lighter by volume.

Greetings from the FAR, FAR, Southwest Suburbs of WILL COUNTY. Hate to tell you, but it's not any better out here. No escaping these HIGH PRICES.

Thanks Obama!!
