Not recently, guy. Too much work, not enough play. Maybe one of these Fridays we can meet up with Sparky to pester the Peace Action patrol in Rochester.
Balogna sandwiches, the new “bubble”.
Food companies have been increasing prices to recoup lost money due to high costs for key ingredients like corn and oil. Kraft said in the quarter, input costs were up $700 million and are expected to be up $2 billion this year over 2007. Input costs are coming down, though they’ll still be above historic levels, and pricing is expected to remain in
place, which will further pad profit margins.
Expect even bigger profits for foods in the next quarter. The rise in fuel prices have allowed food suppliers to realize a dream. A dream of raising food prices higher than ever with no intention of bringing them back down even as fuel prices tumble. Thank a democrat every time you see one while they did nothing to allow us to drill for more oil food prices went out of sight. Not to mention those with risky subprime mortgages who were already teetering on the edge were pushed over the cliff by these same fuel price increases. Voting for a Democrat and you will pay for it forever.
In related news. Hillary Clinton released a statement today saying that. She would sure like to take some of that BIG WEINER profit. Barney Frank replied I would too.
You people are SICK!
(I like that in a Freeper, LOL!)
As American as hot dogs and mock apple pie.
