Many of them would also capitalize the first word in a
sentence and even more would capitalize "Americans"...

Just sayin'...

Fortunately I have been able to buy food in large quantities when it is on sale so I have not been hit too badly with the price increases...though I have noticed them when I run out of an item. Definitely have to watch price points.

I am very thankful that I built our hobby farm several years back so that I can grow a good amount of our food.

I hope that inflation doesn't hit this country to hard...but it doesn't look good.

But, apparently it wasn't "real" till Palin said it.

Secret Survey? I could have told them prices at Walmart were going up....ummmm, maybe a year back or longer? I shop there, either weekly or once every 2 weeks......I noticed in the beginning prices were “easing upwards”...a penny, nickle or dime.....now it seems, they don’t even try to “mask” the increases. One week the price is $1....go back next week and the same item is $2....and it has shrunk in size. A lot of items have gone up quite a bit in a real short period of time. Especially grocery prices. Nothing new to me...............

I really pay attention to the sale papers......especially grocery prices. I think we are in for some tough times ahead.........

Another point of proof that the media is just as out of touch as Washington (or like to play the “unexpected” game a little too much).

Why did they need to do an undercover survey to figure out what is common sense to everyone? How frustrating. And, it’s not like it hasn’t been going up for a while already, either. This is not a ‘recent development’, although it is quickening.

But many of us stocked the freezer with inexpensive meat months ago, along with stocking a substantial dry pantry. We have enough to live on for a long, long time and so do many others. In the short term that is bad news because it means we won’t be buying much beyond fresh veggies and some dairy.

We harvest a kilo of fresh eggs every 3 days or so out of our micro-flock of 6 chickens, and my compost pile is full of leaves and cooking nicely, which will yield a bunch of fresh veggies next growing season.

The local ABC Pravda propaganda machine said that sales are up 3% which is great for Christmas. And that means the economy is recovering. One interviewee business owner even said this is going to be their best year ever! Oh praise to the Obama!

Bernake is destroying the US’s most valuable item - the dollar. He knows good and well that real inflation will go much higher than 2%. On purpose they appear to be facilitating a dollar collapse.

They are claiming about 4%, I’m seeing more like 10% to 15% price increases in my area in the past year.

Unfortunately, most Americans will be more familiar with what Palin did on Dancing with the Stars than what she said regarding monetary policy.

All you have to do is look up as you drive past the gas station. I remember reading about how the Fed’s actions would cause inflation and then two days later gas went up 20 cents. Of course, most of our oil imported and since Wal Mart sells a lot of Chinese goods, that makes sense as well.
