INFLATION! IT'S BAAAAACK

Inflation is here with a vengeance and none of the media bozos will report it. The CPI is always published "excluding food and energy" and they tell us the core rate is .1% or some such shit. Anybody who is shopping for food knows that prices are out of sight. Just on the shit I buy stuff is up at least 50% in a year. People in the Greenspan economic bracket send their illegal alien help to do the shopping so they don't know. If any of them did shop they would be shitting at the prices. They are high high high. $3.39 for eggs that used to cost less than $2.75; artichokes over $3 that used to be $1.99; tomatoes are $2 a pound minimum and they used to be less than a dollar; meat is out of sight (bacon at $4.99???), and on and on and on.

The entire economic community is lying. Inflation index excluding food and energy??? Are we all stupid? Natural gas is four times the usual price and heating oil is almost 80% higher, Bush doesn't pay the bills in the White House. Inflation is here and it's hitting middle and low income people the hardest (what else is new?). I know from trading futures that food is at or near all time highs but the suits pay no attention. You better. These high food and energy prices are holding back recovery, stealing money from everyone's paycheck, the government just keeps fighting the demons of terrorists (while ignoring the terrible terror of local gangs), spending money on illegals so big business can hire even cheaper labor, and other works of good. BE CAREFUL OF YOUR INVESTMENTS, when this dog finally bites you are going to bleed.
