Food & Housing

Food jumps...but forget what this moronic article writer says about inflation...pulling food & energy out may be useful for pointy heads in the Fed, but for Mr & Mrs Everyday American, there is inflation!

On the housing front, worst starts in 27 years!  As we've commented plenty, the bottom has not been reached yet!

Food and energy, two of the most basic necessities after shelter, and they're excluded from inflation calculations?  Yeah, I'll just bet that's "useful" for the Fed, alright.

I wanted to make BLTs for dinner a couple nights ago, so I went to the grocery store to get a couple ingredients.

2 lbs of bacon was $11.49.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

This comes from the same idiots who derided the Reagan Administration for referring to ketchup as a vegetable but placed peanut butter in the meat group . In the end they just feed us bull-sh*t anyway .
