Thank goodness for Ad-Block. That photo is now blocked! What a mean looking.... Imagine having to work around her. Just the alcohol fumes would knock most over!
It also buys 2 times as much land as 7 years ago though.
Bubble markets work that way.
Is your grocery bill just a fraction of what it was 3 years ago? How about your power bill or insurance bill?
Got a kid in college? Is your bill down there?
So you're saying it doesn't have a stable value?
The dollar hasn’t had a stable value for years as it is a fiat currency, and as such is a political tool.
Comparing the dollar to an overinflated commodity means nothing. Gold hit a bubble price and the bubble popped, as did real-estate in the US.
Comparing the dollar to a real market basket of products that is the same year after year, is representative of normal buying habits, and isn’t cherry-picked to skew the results does mean something. In this comparison, you can see the dollar has lost nearly 90% of its purchasing power since the 60s, an is still headed down. There are minor blips here and there, but the decline is very predictable.
Gas prices are up. Corn prices are up.
Production and transportation costs are up.
It's the economy stupid. Someone on radio was saying that the GOP will lose running on that issue as they did in 2012. Funny how it worked for Dems in 1992 and the MSM used that talking point for the first 10 minutes of election night returns in 2004.
73% lean ground beef is an oxymoron.
A happy dog makes better eatin.
“73% Lean” translates to “127% Flavor” hahahaha!
Whatever became of obama’s dog?
Maybe... http://doghalloweencostumesshop.com/images/thumbnails/hot-dog-with-mustard-dog-costume.JPG
