To: A. Pole
I said "What the heck", yesterday and decided to BBQ a couple of steaks since we hadn't done that for about 6 months, the price being so high and all.

I bought two little rib-eyes, a half-pint of sour cream for the potatoes, and a head of lettuce and two tomatoes for the green salad. (I already had the potatoes, Texas Toast, steak sauce, and frozen veggies at home).

The grocery bill was $18, not counting the gas to drive to the store.

I wonder how restaurants are coping with syrocketing food prices. Beef, chicken, pork, dairy products, vegetables...all about double from last year.

Thank goodness beer is still the same.

the downward spiral of the US into a 3rd world nation of a few rich, many poor, and almost no middle class has just begun.

The free-traitors are succeeding in starting the drive of the US down to the levels of India and China.
