Where is inflation? Just go to the supermarket.

It is also painfully evident at the wholesale club. You can still buy six cans of tuna, but the can size has shrunk and the price has risen. Three boxes of Lipton tea in one set is now two small boxes. On and on.

Sigh

I don’t know, but they did. Now, I buy other, less expensive ones that are more in line with what I can stand, which isn’t much.

See stocks. The prices go up on things people buy with that printed money. Not so much anything else when the money is socked away in investments and people aren’t spending their “wealth”.

This has to be satire. Does this person not shop. Gasoline is still 100% higher than Obama was immaculated. Formerly 1 pound bags of items are now 12 ounces. Granola bars that once had six per box are now 5. Obamacare increased healthcare costs 100%. My gas and electricity rates just went up. I can go on and on about real world inflation. Not the BS federal statisticians make up.

And keep in mind that it was derivatives exposure that brought Lehman Brothers down in 2008.

No it wasn't.
