As oil goes up, everthing else follows suit. The Middle East turmoil will not settle down any time soon. The price of oil will most likely go beyond the 2008 record prices, and with it, everthing else, from food to manufactured goods, imported and domestic. Tie this in with the Fed printing pictures of dead presidents, like the Wreck of the Old ‘97, there will be inflation unseen since the German Weimar Repuhlic or Zimbabwe of today. Our savings will be wiped out. $10,000 will buy a weeks groceries. I look at the McDonald’s and Burger King signs advertising a breakfast sandwich for $1.99, but they don’t use the decimal, so they have $199. I believe that one day soon it will actually be true.........

Basically a days wage for one days worth of food.
