Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13289935 When I left Canada last summer, milk alone was over $8/gallon and a gallon of gas was close to $5.50
Loaf of bread was $4+
I feel your concern OP, but MOST of the world is already paying far more than we pay in the USA
The problem is, that these recent government reports that claim "consumer confidence" is at a recent high, and that people have more disposable income (not sure who they are polling) are giving mfgs the confidence to raise prices now to match those they have elsewhere on the globe
I'm afraid you are only seeing the beginning of a series of sharp price hikes, bc manufacturers in the US have been eating much of the cost of shipping, production, oil etc of the past few years
and next year, if Obama is successful pushing through carbon taxes, VAT taxes and other taxes on his party's agenda, expect even worse
I am an independent, not sure it would be much different with neocons at the helm....just calling it as I see it
