15%?? I lived the Carter Years, 15% my ass, prices on everything just about have gone up 25%-30%, that’s Inflation.

Hold on tight kids, this is just the beginning and I can guarantee you it will get much much worse before it starts to get better.

Sorry, 1982:

@PeterSchiff

Of course, if we still measured consumer prices the way we did in 1982, the 2021 #CPI would reveal a more accurate #inflation rate of about 15%, making inflation in 2021 the highest in U.S. history. For years the #Fed claimed the problem was too low inflation. Problem solved!

I bought a house in 1977 with a 7% mortgage ... with a plan to move in 3 years.
Three years later mortgage rates were at 15% and going higher. I never moved.

DITTO!! The food inflation by itself is absolutely insane! I can't even buy beef anymore and chicken has gotten outrageous too.

Being on a weight loss diet and having to eat healthy is really expensive too. Nothing refined, all whole/raw foods, cooking from scratch. Damn, eating healthy is $$$$
