[QUOTE="Brownslave688, post: 5412050, member: 34439"] Apparently you haven’t bought anything in the last few years if you don’t think real prices are up 25% or more over the past 2 years. Even as the government measures it it’s around 15% and we know that’s low. My electric rates just doubled. Natural gas expected to triple this winter. Fuel will be right back up after they stop releasing from the reserve. Food prices have doubled and tripled all over the place. It’s a worldwide economy now too. It’s not nearly as simple as oh the USA seems to have gotten it together. In fact right now the dollar is really strong even with crazy inflation because other countries don’t seem to be even trying to control their inflation. Electricity costs rising, wages rising ([URL="https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/06/09/more-pay-raises-are-on-the-way-for-many-workers-this-year.html"]More pay raises are on the way for many workers this year[/URL]), government coming after corporations to pay their share. Yeah man none of that sounds like business will be looking to significantly drop prices [/QUOTE]
