Five years ago, in July 2009, the average price for a pound of ground beef was $2.147, according to the BLS. In those five years, the average price has climbed by $1.737 per pound--or almost 81 percent.

Was just at the grocery store. This is true.

Our grocery store is now hiding the price increases in their new deal promotion. Buy 5 designated packages for $20. I was impressed, as customers browsed this section commenting on how the packages are smaller than average and purchasing this way actually got you LESS, while you thought you might be getting 1 package FREE. It really smacks of false advertising of value for your money.

Average Price of Ground Beef Hits All-Time High

The skyrocketing costs of all types of food, not just beef, is one of the many hidden costs of Obama's social and economic policies like ObamaCare and his determination to destroy the coal industry and drive energy costs as high as possible.

The cost of every phase of food production from the cost of buying seed, tilling the land, processing the products and delivering them to the stores has increased because of the hidden taxes he has imposed and the hidden costs of his insane social and economic policies.

Not so long ago we read that tax money taken in by the federal government is at an all time high. That is the addition money that is now sucked out of the economy at every business transaction by Obama's policies.

The money for his grand wealth redistribution programs comes out of the higher prices we pay for everything we do and every product we use.
