Before Obama took office you could.

Now... holy crap!!!!!!!

I went shopping the other day and spent $180 on about a HALF A CART of stuff

I am a VERY good shopper and used to pride myself on never going over $100 in my cart but that is nearly impossible now.

Why don’t we hear consumer price index numbers any more? I bet they are up 100% since Odumbass took office

Food and gasoline are no longer included in the inflation numbers because they are "Too Volatile". For example, the Tomato juice I was buying last summer for .99, is now ON SALE for $1.89. HOPEY CHANGEY!!!

The calculations were changed to include the change in housing costs, so as long as the real estate market stays down, it offsets the increase in food and other prices, giving the illusion of little or no change in total costs.

And yes, it’s complete bull. Which is why I’m so suspicious that the census bureau is changing the way they calculate poverty rates, just in time for the next election cycle.
