I’m like a geek about monitoring grocery prices Marie. It’s like a freaking pass time for me. I swear. Prices are up and going up. There was a period of deflation (back around 2007 I think it was) when butter was $2lb. It’s $3.50 now. Milk was $1.88/gal at the same time. it’s approaching $3/gal now. I earn more money now than I ever have but I feel no richer really. That’s stagflation. I think we have stagflation for a number of reasons and I’m not yet convinced that 999 truly addresses those problems. I think it’s more likely that it exacerbates them. As a conservative, I have been railing for decreased government spending and decreased taxes. I don’t remember ever yelling for a new federal sales tax.

With the Carter Adm. food prices went through the roof. We shopped once a month for food for 7 and locked the car door if we stopped to shop for something with the groceries in the car...Democrats always do the same thing. The only thing that saved Clintons bacon was a republican house and senate...The cost to the truckers that truck the groceries has gone sky high for gas. That alone makes a difference in grocery prices, plus other factors involved in this economy...like paying more taxes...My son is an independent trucker...to fill his gas tank on his rig cost him 1000.00. His prices have had to go up. So your prices have to go up.

Democrats and rino's are all the same. they don't do anything except tax and spend and steal from the working man...I don't understand such people voting democrat or rino...just proves it's conservatives that fight for what is right, not necessarily republicans...No rino vote from me. I will vote down ballot for congress but will not vote for the same thing with a different face...

Well I could mail you a box cutter. With the proper application you will never hear yourself whine again.
