Despite consistent claims of low inflation during this endless Great Recession, Americans are paying dramatically more for gasoline, electricity, heat and food -- everybody notices the $4 gas, but the jump in food prices to a 36-year record is harder to see because it's spread out across your grocery bills. And now the official inflation rate is rising, up half a percent for January and .06% in February, just as millions of American households are running out of emergency unemployment benefits and many millions more are surviving on stagnant or part-time wages. With federal, state and local governments slashing services at a furious clip while taxes most harmful to the poorest people are shooting higher -- check out what you're paying in sales tax this year! -- the basic cost of existing in this teetering country has gotten completely out of hand.
Good for you! Be sure to buy some green beans. They're super easy to grow, very prolific and they taste wonderful when they're fresh.
...so Japan has an earthquake followed by tsunami and capped off with a nuclear winter; and that caused the value of their currency to rise? I think I may have just solve our inflation problem!!!
...unfortunately no one realized that "trickle DOWN economics" didn't follow any of the known laws of physics! "Satan's Pull"(or "Gravity" as you non-believers call it) is a known LIBERAL conspiracy. All money should always TRICKLE upwards, toward the heaven's and Ronald Reagan(pronounced: GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
...geez, I love taking damage from these "down thumber"!

Time to eat the rich.
All I need's a song in my heart and a smile on my face. And a tax cut, always w/ the tax cuts.
Poors making demands IS classism; the rich getting whatever they want is the natural order.
