I think a good chunk of inflation is on us already. Our benevolent Federal Government simply doesn't take it into account ans the MSM sure as hell aint reporting on it. It's easier to wipe numbers from the official books than talk about them.

About seven years ago, buying a good chunk of steak from costco that I then butchered up myself cost me about fifty bucks. I literally just bought something weight wise from costco this past Saturday and it cost me $106.00 bucks. I went to fill up my suv today; umm...nope. 87 octane was 3.90 a gallon (When GW left office it was 1.87). Bread, milk, veggies....everything seems doubled in price. The common denominator is Washington D.C. and their war on the middle class. Taken a good hard look at your cell phone bill recently? It is littered with taxes and "fee's". ISP? Same.

The government is out of control and we are already absorbing that burden but most simply don't notice it or blame their employers or "big company X" gouging. You are right, when bad inflation hits the ugliness will hit hard and normal families will be starving within weeks; if not days.
