But there’s no inflation, because people will choose ground turkey instead, right?

Ground turkey....what does Obama call that...chained inflation?

Despite what we think ground turkey is at a premium. I looked at it. Just as expensive.

I’m thinking ground roadkill is the choice Obama would point us to

I watched two talking heads on TV a while ago debating inflation. The Obama apologist said words to the effect of "when you look at the core rate, excluding food and gasoline, there is very little inflation."

The other guy said, "well it's a good thing families don't have to buy food or gas then."

Debate over.

There’s no inflation because the government doesn’t include food in the inflation statistics. Its a joke. The whole freakin country knows that food prices have been skyrocketing for the past 5 or 6 years, either by actually going up or by the amount in each package going way down.

It doesn't work that way. If people chose cheaper ground beef over more expensive ground beef, then yes.
