    That's the truth, that they are now trying to twist into an "entitlement" and all of us who paid into the system, just like an insurance policy, are now "moochers."

    Yep, Pat.  We're seeing it here in Virginia, too.  It's nuts.  A can of powdered chai went up from $3.78 to $4.58 in one month.  That's a 21% increase in one month!

    Pat you will also see the volume has decreased from 16 ounces to 14 or 12 ounces to fool us.

    They got the nerve to say Social Security checks will only be about a $17.00 raise this year because prices haven't gone up much. Where the heck do they shop???  Beans have gone from fifty cents a bag to a dollar thirty nine I think here. I could go on and on but ya'll all know how high stuff is.

    What a great idea and to get the real statistics is nice for a change.
