I keep hearing economic reports saying that it is amazing that no massive inflation is taking place. Any lower or middle class individual knows this is a load of shit. Nothing more than propaganda spread from the top tier of an overextended floundering empire.
Most of us have to go to our local corporate grocer or Chinamart to purchase our food rather than have our illegally employed and exploited servant do our shopping for us. Therefore we see the first hand fact of rising food costs. The package sizes stay the same but the amount of food in the case goes down by around a fifth. That is at minimum a 20% decrease in purchasing power, and if by the sweet god who hates poor people, you buy any fresh produce or meat it's far worse than 20%, a more accurate number would be 50% up from two years ago.
And then there is gasoline. Sweet nectar of the crust of the Earth that allows us to function as a mobile society and keeps all the cogs of our society turning. Let me be clear on this there is no oil shortage. That's right there are no pumps running dry, no stoppage of industry, just pure speculative inflation taking place. $4.00 a gallon, let me repeat $4.00 a gallon. Nope no inflation there. Liars.
The price of corn has quadrupled in the last four years. Wages have stagnated for those of us lucky enough to still be employed. Faith in the dollar is non-existent as gold trends upwards of $1500 an ounce. The reality is we are on the cusp of total system failure. As the price of food, fuel, and living everyday life continue to increase eventually there will come a point where a middle class working family can't survive. This will result in more foreclosures, less purchasing of goods, and the collapse of the entire economy. That guy holding the sign reading, "The End is Near", just doesn't get the same heretical looks anymore...

(Should you doubt the realities posted above, this link below should allow you to take my word as gospel. Go to the bottom of the page for time adjusted inflation costs of corn, oil, education, and gold.)
