    Default Interesting article on consumer price increases...

    Thought this was an interesting article as it has the percentages of increase on various items/industries in regards to inflation...

    Looks like it'll keep rising... UGH!

    Interesting article. I think we are all feeling it, things seem to jump noticeably even on a weekly basis. Hope it stops soon, but I have a feeling it wont.

    It's getting riduculous! Yes, I've heard all the reasons/explanations/theories for why it's happening....but I still don't get it. Why so much and so fast? And why all of a sudden? *sigh* Really, how bad does it have to get before it "bursts?"

    I always try to remember that the US has the lowest prices on all of this stuff comparatively to other pasrts of the world. Look at the UK, gas is triple the cost, food as well.

    We are blessed beyond belief in this country.
