Local Bakery's Post on Inflation Is Jarring and Shows How Much Trouble We Are In
2022-10-10
[Red State] We talk about the crushing weight of inflation, and how the prices are at 40-year highs. At this point, we’ve probably done a ton of stories and thrown out all kinds of numbers on it.

But nothing quite puts it in focus as much as how it is affecting all of us every time we have to go to the grocery store to buy food and we see the prices keep going up and up for necessities.

A local bakery must have felt the necessity to explain to customers why they were raising prices by posting about how much their costs had gone up since January 2021 (when Joe Biden came in). The Wall Street Silver account that has posted a lot of interesting things about inflation posted the bakery’s whiteboard explanation and it’s pretty jarring when you look at just how much it has increased.

#3  Inflation is a tax. Either taking directly by taxation or indirectly through inflation reduces what you have to live with in the society.

Still waiting for a realistic Social Security COLA number. The 8% suggested BS doesn't cut it.

As seen posted around the Net.
Since the Fed's can and have printed/created $$$$ as they need it ($33T in national debt) then why do they tax us?

#1  Looks like about triple the official inflation rate of 8.5%?
