    True rate of inflation

    When fuel and food are not counted as part of inflation we are told it's 8.5% I say when everything is counted, all the things we need to live it's closer to 30% What's your estimate, high or low?

    I'm talking about everything, insurance, county taxes, home and personal property, health care etc. It's all going up.

    The correct answer is if you are poor and have morals you are f-Ed. This has been documented over and over again by the people committing grab robberies all over the west coast. I would say smash and grab, but it’s so bad no one cares if they are seen….just do it in broad daylight during business hours…no one cares!

    Inflation has many fingers.... taxes,groceries,gas,clothes,hobbies etc etc..... the toll it
    takes on you financially spills over into emotional health and then physical health...... this is kinda what was referred to as when the cure is worst then the disease ...... long term today’s 30% estimate is gunna prove to be begged for down the road

    This! If something doesn't change between now and fall, and based on the rising price of oil, gas and natural gas, we are going to see things that we never thought would come to the U.S.

    Since I do the grocery shopping in the house a couple specifics. At Walmart in January a carton of Great Value Orange Juice (59oz.) was $2.19. Today it’s $2.79. A 12oz. Can of Starkist Albacore Tuna in January was $3.19 and today is $3.79. A 32oz. Jar of Dukes Mayonnaise in January was $3.89. Yesterday I paid $4.44 for it. You get the picture.

    was in the news yesterday in phoenix that "experts" believe rents will rise between 20-30% more in the phoenix metro over demand/shortage of housing...it already has skyrocketed. $3k is the 3/2 price whether its single family or apartment at this point. Dark dark times ahead.

    Try this one on for size. What a sad joke and a sad state of affairs.

    That is precisely why there was a moratorium put into place initially and then a mass buy up of real estate....... many millionaires have come out of a recession thru real estate investment and the ability to raise rents legally during inflation

    And 24 million people were unemployed. Bad comparison.

    Gas is up over 100%, most building materials up near 100%. Groceries up close to 30%, vehicles up more then 20%. Seen on the news we are spending more then 700 million a day more for gas then what we did a year ago. I truly beleive inflation is closer to 40 to 50%.
