There’s no inflation because the government doesn’t include food in the inflation statistics. Its a joke. The whole freakin country knows that food prices have been skyrocketing for the past 5 or 6 years, either by actually going up or by the amount in each package going way down.

My lib-in-law even denies that food prices are going up (and especially denies that it’s because of Obama policies).

Uh, the BLS collects inflation statistics, and this article is about the BLS collecting inflation statistics for food.

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.
