This is the Obama administration wagging the dog to blame this all on climate change.

This is part of the Globalists' Agenda 21. America's First world, Middle-class lifestyle, which includes low cost, easily available, quality meats, vegetables, fruits, grains, and foodstuffs of all kinds, is on the chopping block.

Welcome to the New World Order. I hope you all like Soylent Green.

We are hitting horrible hyper inflation because we gave mortgages to poor people and then guaranteed them with your money— 1 trillion dollars worth. And then we bailed out fat cat banks and AIG who had gotten stuck with the give away and while we were at it we bailed our government motors and Chrysler so we could pay union pensions. It is over. The damned party is over and now you pay. Bring a rope!

After five years of the federal government telling the public that despite a $3.5 trillion increase in monetary expansion, the inflation rate is below +2%

In other news, Big Brother has increased the chocolate ration to 20g per month.

As does mine, and you said in a later comment - all heirloom.

Did he say that really? Very few in any media today are not bought and paid for it seems.

Same. Still trying to talk the family into letting me raise chickens or rabbits.

Not important. Only serfs are concerned about food prices.

Is that why all the Food Stampers are getting fat?

Go with chickens; they are the most efficient producers of meat per pound of feed. They also produce high nitrate fertilizer for your garden (Not that rabbit droppings are bad).

Agreed. Go with chickens. They are more resourceful at scavenging for food. Plus you get regular egg protein till you eat your hens.

Even when we got take out at the local Chinese restaurant in our tiny village, the price went up, plus the amount of food was less.

When you got deadbeats that can eat lobster on my dime via food stamps what did the clowns think would happen? Basic economics. Good luck on that shit when I and the rest of us productive citizens go Galt, FU :)

22%! Wow! I guess it’s a good thing that the government doesn’t consider pesky things that people have to buy in order to live when they calculate the “inflation rate!”

Who are the blind, leftist lemmings going to believe? Obama and his minions, or their own shrinking wallets?

Blame the Koch Brothers!

In less than 2 years, the price of a carton of premium orange juice has nearly doubled, but you simply can't find a half gallon carton any more. They're all 59 ounce cartons now.

How about canned tuna. Prices are WAY up, the quality is WAY down (unless you buy the "premium tuna") and standard cans are down from 6oz to 5oz, BUT the premium cans are often 3 1/2 or 4 ozs.

Well, thank God that food and energy are not included in the CPI. Otherwise we’d have some serious inflation to worry about.

Retirement is about 5 years away...just what we need, massive inflation to erode our savings.

My favorite local hole-in-the-wall coffee shop has the sweetest Chinese owner. When I’m the first customer in on mornings, she tells me her food inflation stories. She even wants me to order one slice of toast if I don’t plan on eating two! Waste just kills her.
