Where is inflation.

Try the grocery store..
Dry beans that I bought a year ago at 1 buck a pound is 1.50

I used to stock up on Sirloin roasts at .99/lb and haven’t seen it under 4. Can’t buy hamburger for under 3 a pound.

Gasoline is twice what it was 4 yrs ago.

The real inflation is in the stuff they don’t include in the measurements.

OK, where’s the guy that swears up and down that food and energy are NOT EXCLUDED from the reported rate of inflation?

Beer Nuts are 99 cents and Deer Nuts are just under a buck!

Yeah, funny how they decided to leave food and energy out of the consumer price index
