Hey, the cost of you're July 4th BBQ is down!

Unless you're one of those that doesn't like hotdogs.

Taking issue with the cost of feeding wildlife that are better off fending for themselves is a classic First World problem.

Last I checked the only wildlife eating the feed I buy are mice who access it via larceny. I'm talking about feeding the food I eat.

Pay attention. Yesterday's news was ALL about inflation.
Anyone with half a brain knows the current AND FORMER administrations couldn't print trillions of dollars without triggering inflation.

The fed chair Jerome Powell even said he WANTED higher inflation. He even went to congress (11/2019) and spoke about his concerns of the level of spending...and again spring of 2020....and spring of 2021. When this goes south, there will be plenty of blame thrown everywhere.

Anything to do with corn has gone up and I would assume this holds true for all grains.
Chicken feed that I was paying $8.99 a bag has gone to $16.99 now.

wow ! Didn't rise that much here. Last I bought was $11.50 per 50# bag. up from $8.50 per 50# bag
Cattle feed has also jumped in price due to higher corn prices.
Fertilizer was 350 per ton. now 590 per ton

Seems you just want to get into politics.

Be careful with that or the 'boss' or his pet moderator Mossy will smack your pee pee.

The important thing is they don't want to raise taxes. Inflation and budget deficits are fine.
All of the above is sarcasm.

Guess the bird feeders won't get filled as often this winter.

And yesterday he said inflation was “uncomfortably” above the target range.

How this is a surprise given the lack of folks working due to handouts is beyond me.

Handouts create demand, lack of workers lessens supply.

What happens when demand goes up and supply goes down? Duh!

The CPI calculator shows we've gone up 4% since January.

How has the inflation rate become "politics"?
Is it also your opinion that the inflation rate is racist?
Current annual inflation rate is actually 5.4%, and seemingly still rising!
