expensive nuts is right Deagle - hell i’d be laughing but prices are killing us in flyover - they’re very clearly surging. I exclaimed in the aisle “holy sh-t”... and TWO old women replied to me in agreement.

This obama guy is out to ruin our nation.

Not laughing here... Every time I go grocery shopping I have a minor heart attack! Really it is getting bad - I’ve noticed that prices have risen 10% or more lately and since inflation is supposedly only 3% - what the heck!

Folks on a pension or limited income are suffering no doubt!. No problem though, our wonderful President keeps saying things are getting better...ha.

Good point, but let's be brutally honest here. What we're seeing is creeping inflation that is largely driven by the decline of the U.S. dollar. And much of that can be traced to events of the previous administration -- including massive growth of government, two major military campaigns that were financed through debt, and fictitious "economic growth" driven by debt-based economic activity.

We're paying the price for our folly right now. Most of the last decade has been an illusion, folks. You can start by taking all the defaults in mortgages and other debts, subtracting those numbers from the original transactions and recalculating our GDP figures. It won't be pretty. If someone bought a home for $500,000 for no money down, later defaulted on the loan when the value of the home declined to $400,000, and the home now sits in a state of limbo because the bank hasn't foreclosed on it, then we should stop pretending that the $500,000 sale ever really took place.
