Just in a space of a few weeks last summer I saw boxes of fried chicken nearly double in price at my local store.
And that’s just one example of how bogus this 2% inflation figure is.
In the past 6 months in my area:
1lb salt, $0.69 to $0.79.
30 package toilet paper: $13 to $19.
Coffee: $11.99 to $12.99.
Hamburger: $3.99 to $4.99.
Chicken: $4.99 to $8.50, half sized packages are now $4.00
Deoderant: $3.50 to $4.95.
All kinds of things have gone up, yet, feeble minded idiots let Obama’s administration play loose with the rules and believe them when they say, “Honest, we are fair!”
One of the things the fed does is use store brands as substitutes without telling you that. They use phrases like “similar product” to make the switch. They also shop the sales, so if a sale item is half off they count that as deflation.
