Obama
Economy: Food Prices Skyrocketed in 2011
by William
Bigelow
So you
think you’ve been paying more for groceries because your food bill is
too high?
You’re
right. Barack Obama is consuming fine dining while you’re putting
another
helping of macaroni on your plate. In 2011, with Obama’s inflation
beginning to
hit, prices skyrocketed for staples that you consume, according to the
government:
Beef:
+10.2%
Pork: +8.5%
Fish: +7.1%
Eggs: +9.2%
Dairy:
+6.8%
Oils and
Fats: +9.3%
Thanks to
those kinds of prices, more and more people are opting to stay home for
dinner
– restaurants are simply too expensive. The gap between how much
Americans eat
out and how much they eat at home is the biggest since the mid-1970’s
oil crisis.
But it
isn’t working. Because unemployment is high, prices for groceries are
high, and
the costs that retailers didn’t pass on to their consumers in 2011 in
an
attempt to keep businesses afloat are being introduced now, consumers
are
paying the price.
The good
news: Michelle has been cautioning us to eat less. Now she’ll get her
wish.
