almost $3.70/ gal. Yikes! The headline here should really be Government Prints More Money.
When I was a teenager (early 60s), the daily New York Times was a nickel and a quart of milk was a quarter, five times as much. Today's copy of the Times is a dollar so if milk had risen proportionally a quart would now be five dollars. And you complain about paying less than four for a gallon!

Why is the government in the milk biz anyway?

nice post. in 1970 a movie cost 2.00 and a loaf of bread was 24 cents. if they prices stayed the same a movie would be close to 15.00 a gallon of gas and a laof of bread have remained constant in their 30 year pricing.
