Yep, it is right there to see for anyone who is remotely interested in the truth.
Had this discussion with a couple of friends nearly a year ago.
Most people pay little or NO attention until the fire burns THEIR a$$.. which is normally how it goes down.
Simply put: They're up in arms only AFTER the horse is out of the barn.
Stupid is as stupid does. Thanks you Mrs. Gump.
Another perspective which you need to incorporate into your own.
Obama is an ignorant, lazy, stupid, mouthy but arrogant Liar, and the first thing he did was to start gimicking the numbers to cover up the disaster that he is.
The Second thing the next President needs to do is to order all agencies to revise the numbers using rational methods of measuring inflation and unemployment, then order all those new numbers to replace the fake ones Obama created.
The FIRST thing the next President needs to do is to order the Justice Department to prosecute anyone and everyone connected to Obama for anything and everything for which they can be prosecuted.
We need to roll up that entire pile of sh*t and throw the lot of them in Prison, including Obama.
I know of nothing for which the price has gone down. Even after all the breakthroughs in fracking technology and a drop in crude prices, gasoline still costs more than it did when that Lazy, Ignorant, Stupid, Mouthy and Arrogant Liar got into Office.
Of what do you know for which the price has declined?
That's because, as a result of the 24th amendment, the parasite class is a crop which they farm for votes.
They bribe them with public money to encourage the parasites to keep them in office. It's a very clever system, and it was created by Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Actually, it is a breeding program for Drat voters.
I call that Obamasizing...there's hardly anything that hasn't been touched by this phenomena...
This is not new. Back in 1945 the woman who would become my first wife was hospitalized long-term. She took up knitting to pass the time. She eventually recovered and got a job. We were married in 1957, and she quit her job. She decided to complete some of her knitting projects. She bought the number of skeins of yarn stated in the instructions. They didn't hold enough yarn. In order to keep the price down, in the intervening 12 years the manufacturers had steadily reduced the amount of yarn in a skein.
Nor was the problem confined to yarn. Back in the 1960s Consumer Reports regularly complained about "skinny pints" (bottles that held only 15 1/2 oz instead of the full pints you used to get). Again, to disguise a price increase by decreasing the amount of product you get but at the same old price.
12 ounce pounds of coffee anyone?
Sorry this is not pin the tail on Obama. Food and Fuel has not counted in the inflation rate since the 80's.
It was wrong then and it is wrong now.
Fed backed loans supplies the money that was available that allowed the higher education places to keep increasing their income. A big circle. Now it has hit critical mass.
Get the government out of education.
Nope. Not any more.
A couple of humongous deep pots right outside the back door, on the patio, is what I do. Especially for peppers and tomatoes, makes it easier to fertilize and water.
I cant believe it only takes half an hour to grow your own vegetables. There is considerably more to it than that.
Tech products?
The official reason given is that those prices are "too volatile" to include in a price index. But we all know the real reason....
everything is being made to be out of reach of even people that work hard every single day....
Oh yeah... the "recovery" is great.
Probably the price of houses in some remote town, where the industry fled, has fallen somewhat. So that must be factored in, you know.
