Reply #3: I'm in Florida right now, and most bread IS $3.00 [View All]

Well, the range is $2.89 to $3.19 for commercially baked bread. I remember 18 cent commercial bread when was a kid so that will tell you how hard we've been hit by inflation without seeing a commensurate increase in wages.

Ravi Batra has a book out on Greenspan's legacy. I have been poor for the last 3 years so I haven't read it yet, but his other books have been top notch. I know he covers the manipulation of the markets, wages, and "free" trade, and discusses Greenspan's role in sabotaging Social Security.

It's on my list for when I get home.
