Panamanians extremely concerned about the high cost of food

Panamanians extremely concerned about the high cost of food

Panama, May 28 (Prensa Latina) The cost of food remains the most serious and of concern among Panamanians, according to the results of the survey conducted for Ipsos Panama Review for Telemetro Reporta and La Estrella.

According to the poll released today, besides the price of the basic family food basket, the other main problems identified by citizens are security, corruption, unemployment and public transport.

For the sociologist Mark Gandásegui, Panama's problems reflected in the survey are due to how Panamanian families feel about the salaries or remuneration they receive becoming less, compared to the cost of products and services (going up).

86% of the 1,200 Panamanians surveyed by Ipsos between 17 and 20 May, placed the high cost of basic goods as the most serious problem in the country, with no other topic even coming close.... Security polled at 39% followed by corruption at 38%. Public transport came in third at 37%.

I've seen no sharp increase in food prices. I think Panamanians, like the rest of us, are simply victims of the vast global banking scame where the central banks of the world are printing hundreds of billions of dollars and loaning it out for free to the banks, who then loan it to central governments to buy services i.e. inflation.

The banks and governments all then publish bullshit stories about how there is no inflation, but ANYONE in this world who has to buy food every (or gas) knows that to be complete and utter bullshit.
