Our gasoline went up 15 cents over night. The dollar tree is charging 1.25 for everything. Dollar items on fast food menus in our area changed in the past two days. At least they still serve senior coffee but that price will probably go up as well. Our family has ordered from Schwan’s for years and years. I took a look at what I was paying for sausage links I dearly love (and so does my 14 year old beagle). 60 cents a link! I had a chat about it on-line and of course they had the standard “costs to provide have risen”. I won’t even touch on the big ticket items, the fertilizer crisis for farmers, etc. etc. etc.
They ABSOLUTELY know what to do: complete the Keystone pipeline, open up leases on Federal lands for drilling, enable offshore drilling, etc. Problem? THAT DON’T WANT TO PISS OFF THE RADICAL LEFT. That is why there is inflation.
