Food prices went way up because;

It snowed.
It rained.
It didn’t rain.
It should have rained.
It was hot.
It was cold.

It’s prolly one of them. Or more likely, it is because the Republicans don’t want to see hussein succeed so they got together with the Koch Bros and raised the prices. At least that is what the liberals tell me.

This is not news. When a McDouble jumps from $1.00 to $1.39 at Mickey D’s, as it has, it’s all the economic indicator anyone should need.

Maybe it has something to do with allowing 10-20 million hungry people to come here illegally and make another 10-20 hungry children.

Who cares, food and housing aren’t a cost of living!

If a Republican occupied the White House this would be the lead story of EVERY news outlet, national and local, every news cycle, 7 days each week!

Me and the OBA just set up the beans, peas, peppers, tomatos, and greens. The strawberries are doing just fine. The sunflowers are poking their heads up. Just tilled a patch for the blueberries and the corn.

Apple trees have nice flowers on them.

If you are lucky enough to have land, put it to use.

I went shopping yesterday, got food for the week plus some snacks for the Long weekend. 70 dollars.
I recall a time where 70 bucks could buy a lot.

THERE IS NO INFLATION, CITIZEN!!!

[Gritty]

Oh. So that's why EBT/SNAP cards are loading up 30% more the past few years. Inflation. Poor people gotta eat. No sense in putting any of them on a diet maybe of rice, beans, cheese, and powdered milk like the old Food Stamp Program...

On the other hand... Seniors? Continue to tie their SS checks to inflation without energy or food costs in them. They don't need to eat much anyhow. Put 'em on a diet. They be dyin' soon anyhow...

[SpaceBar]

Bob Brinker, the weekend radio host of Moneytalk, gets in arguments regularly now with callers regarding food inflation. Brinker claims that inflation is very low and always goes by the official government numbers, while anyone who has actually bought food lately knows the truth.

Only our Washington Royalty didn’t know that food prices have been skyrocketing since Obama took office.

[Fitzy_888]

Maybe it’s ever more money chasing roughly the same amount of food?

Likewise maybe it’s 4 billion dollars a day in new government debt. Do the math and that’s roughly $80 dollars borrowed per day per tax paying employed citizen or $2,400 per month per tax paying employed citizen.

I can think of another meaning for “DOA”...we’re that.

The government now has to defend the petrodollar with everything it has which will lead to major wars; or, turn the weapons on us.

Either way, it’s over, enjoy it while it lasts.
