Thread regarding Giant Eagle layoffs

Yep, I agree ... The thing is commodities have been going through the roof since our supposed "for the middle class government" began printing ( digitizing) money like there is no tomorrow while also artificially holding the interest rate down. This is the largest single tax, if you will, which hurts the poor and middle class the most because, obviously, we all use commodities. QE1,2, and 3 ( and another one I believe) is all what is making the stock market appear to be doing well, but there will be a price to play at some point. It could get real hairy if the dollar loses confidence, or even oil moves away from the dollar as our buddies Russia and China would love and we see hyperinflation --- Don't know if this could happen or not, but is is certainly a possibility ( see Weimar Republic, Germnay 1923). OPEC doesn't care we devalue our dollar through these programs, we print 3 dollars for every true dollar, they just triple the price of the barrel. Same thing that is going on with food. Smaller packaging is an effort to combat those efforts, but even in baulk, it is impossible to not to increase prices if a profit is to be made..... Smart consumers, like yourself seek out the deals and shop around ..
