Ok. So we've gotten to a basket we can compare. Gas. Food. Clothing.


I'll take a peek in the am on how much those have increased.

Deal?

Lemme guess. Something something rigged?

One of the problems is that the gubberment picks and chooses what to use when it figures "inflation" and consumer price indexes. They include some things and exclude others (which may make the number worse)......yeah, it's rigged.

But, many of those things DO fluctuate in price......up, down, all over the place. Many times, it can vary greatly from communities in one area/state to communities in other areas/states. Depends on supply and demand and availability. SOME things still do work in those ways yet......"capitalism".
In areas like "tourist" destinations, the prices of fuel go up in the Summer.......and stay there as long as they can get away with it (I know that first-hand). As far as food goes, we hardly ever buy anything unless it's on sale and then we stock up......and eventually we can buy almost everything that way.
Clothing.......stores would go out of business waiting for my business in that category. My wife on the other hand........
Nah, she's pretty frugal, too.
People just need to find ways of keeping their expenses down in these times.

If Trump is killed will they continue with Mike Pence or delay the election?
