What, you didn't buy stuff with money for the last 8 years?

Yeah, I've bought stuff, and some things are somewhat more expensive. Other things, not so much. But in no way have the prices on everything nearly doubled overall as you claim. But you're just going on your feelings rather than actual data, aren't you?

Fuel more than doubled for awhile, and it's only as the result of improved extraction technology that the prices have come back down again, though still higher than 2008. Food has almost doubled, and is still almost double what it was back in 2008.

Another trick I have noticed is that they reduce quantity of food items, while charging the same price. They are trying to sneak the inflation past the consumer.

There *IS* no real data, or do you argue otherwise? The Agencies responsible for collecting and disbursing the data are now part of the Chicago Mafia/1984/Animal Farm/Farenheit 451 information obfuscation scheme.

MINITRUE simply tells us what we need to be told.

I know what particular common items cost back in 2008, and i'm aware of what they cost now, and they are d@mned near double. Not quite, but almost.
