Did anybody else see this over on Crooksandliars.com? I find it very good fodder for LTTEs and as something to reply back to those stupid, inane RW emails.

I was doing some research on the economy, and I discovered something interesting. Of all the items listed below, the price of only one item has gone way down since Bush took office. Everything else has become much more expensive.

Dozen eggs
Gallon of Gasoline
Health Care
Gallon of Milk
Ear of corn
8-ball of cocaine
College Tuition
Loaf of bread

Can you guess what that one thing is?

Each item in the list is linked to stories about how it's cost has either gone up or down. Very interesting reading.

1. humvee costs have fallen further than coke.

percentage wise.

[ananda]

2. sheesh, ok, i'll take a stab..

.. 8-ball of cocaine.

[aquart]

6. I would think heroin has gone down, too.

With the increased production in Afghanistan.

3. How about adding median wages to that list.....

[Webster Green]

4. I'm guessing the 8-ball of blow..

I would imagine the coke-chimp is also making a little money on those transactions as well.

17. Someone is you can bet on that!

Nobody makes a profit any more without the cabal taking their share. It happened during Iran-Contra so why should now be any different?

5. I guessed correctly.

That's just * supplementing what he loves.

[Marrah_G]

10. Has to be the coke

[sinkingfeeling]

11. I would say it's the price of cocaine.

12. Why can't it be weed?

Can they toss us a friggin bone?

[XOKCowboy]

16. No kidding...

To quote the immortal Sam Kinison "They can have the heroin and the cocaine just give us the POT!" :)

13. There are only two things on that list I haven't bought

And I've read that college tuition is indeed going up (dramatically even) so it isn't that.

14. One other item...

The price of bullshit is way down--there's a terrible glut of supply. :rofl:

15. The cheaper 8-ball of cocaine allows me to work 4 jobs to buy all the other

items.
