Isn't that inflation? Isn't inflation bad?

More for less gas

More for less pet food (science diet used to have 5lb bags. now they have 3.5lb bags for the same price.)

Something does not add up and the kool-aid drinkers won't find out until it is way to late because the fuckin MSM isn't reporting it.

1. You ain't seen nothin, yet. Wait til late spring/summer.
It looks like the US is starting to print money to pay its bills. If true, we are in for a hell of an inflationary ride as the dollar devalues.

2. If you are in the top 1%, then the economy is great. Your
energy stocks, defense-related stuff have never been better. And don't forget Poland, I mean Haliburton:

3. Gas and food don't count when they do inflation stats. Please come
up with something else to prove your point.

Just joking - about you coming up with other points. Honest, gas and food aren't included. I can't believe the price of food. And we won't go into the price of gas.

5. More for less pet food...
That's the MO of the corporate bandits these days. If you pay attention you'll find lots of grocery items packaged at less for the same price. Yogurt (for example) used to be 8oz., but now they're almost all 6 oz for the same (or slightly more) price. Makes the sheep think prices aren't going up. :eyes:
