> I suggest ALL politicians be ordered to go shopping at their grocery store, buy what they normally purchase and then come back and tell us that the economy is progressing. Inflation has cemented itself in, expect it to be around for the long run.

all of us commonfolk have seen the price of meat, eggs, and milk rise dramtically ...eggs are up 3 times, meat has damn near doubled or more, milk is up at least 50% and the cost of everything else has gone through the roof as well. Services and other goods have done the same. Tires way up as well. And that's only the damage Obama's horrible economic and regulatory policies have had on this country. The debt he has run up is astonomical - 18 + trillion from the 10 trillion when he first took office; an increase of 70 %! hell when you keep handing money over to your enemies this is what happens! I lay all of this on O's shoulders. He has the Labor Department liescontinously (or should I say omit very pertinent facts to skew the numbers) to tye public about our unemployment and our current situation. I have never seen so many people struggling financially as this day and age. And he continues to golf on the finest golf courses while his wife jets all over the world eating the finest food and desserts while telling children they should eat heir veggies. The fact is the horrible state of our country is a direct result of his action and he owns it. If there is ever a book written on what not to do as a preident he will be the perfect example.

Very true today and it was true in 2012 yet we heard nothing about inflation from Romney and the GOP. In 1992, Bill Clinton and James Carville were on television everyday saying the economy was in the worst condition since the great depression. With that untruthful message Bill Clinton brought down a sitting president. Carville knew people vote their pocketbooks.

Why doesn’t the GOP take the economic ball and run with it? They should be pounding Obama and the Dems everyday with the cost of healthcare, cost of electricity, the fact ice cream is no longer packaged in a 1/2 gallon container, higher taxes reducing paychecks, etc. etc. Inflation is potentially the most powerful issue for a campaign yet the GOP ignored it in 2012 when the price of gasoline was more than double what it was when Obama took office. The GOP ignores inflation, immigration, loss of jobs to foreign trade, the deficit, etc. What does the party stand for?

"Tires way up as well."

Was in my local Les Schwab a few days ago getting my ATV trailer tires balanced and a new spare. Saw a steady stream of people coming in to make payments on their tires. Then it dawned on me that I have been seeing that for the last several years every time I'm in there.

Never saw that in years past.
