Disco's not back, but inflation is

A woman wrote a letter to the editor and it appeared in today's Houston Chronicle. She's confused because helicopter Ben Bernanke, Larry Kudlow, and others are telling her everything's fine and that inflation is under control.

But she said she went to the grocery store, and now a 10 lb. bag of potatoes is $3.78, not the $2.48 she was paying. And that small loaf of bread she was paying 58 cents for is now $1.18. Finally, she's upset that Doritos are now $3.17 instead of the $2.50 she was paying.

Come now, dear, the government measures "core" inflation. It takes out food and gas prices. Once they do that, inflation is under control! So don't worry, just vote for another Republicrat who doesn't get it and won't do anything about it. Or vote for Ron Paul, he understands what you're going through and he understands economics.
