I just wanted to share my thoughts on how these inflationary times are impacting all Americans here in the USA. Overall, I think it’s crap.

The article and news from CBS – Inflation remained high in September with prices rising faster than expected

Basically they’re stating that it’s 8.2% higher than it was 1 year ago, consumer prices. Things that we buy, on an average based on the “Consumer Price Index” increased in one year 8.2%. Does that sound reasonable in your area wherever you are in your city/state?

Here are some images of prices of the items in other Costco’s

Oh yes, oil changes on a vehicle if taken to the shop… Of course, depends on where you go or if you do it yourself (more power to you). I realized that just an oil change went up in price, just this year, from $59.99 to $69.99 (16.67% increase).

So my honest question to everyone out there who reads my blog and for you to think about… Have you noticed your every day necessities that you purchase went up in price? If so, how much did your toothpaste, toilet paper, paper towels, body wash, shampoo, deodorant, etc. go up?

My observation is… what the current administration has been doing since the beginning has been affecting us Americans harshly. A book that I’m currently reading published back in 1979 by a well-known economist of that time can easily relate to quite a lot of things taking place to this day. The book “Free to Choose” by Milton Friedman and Rose Friedman (husband and wife) is a very good read so far and I can understand where he’s coming from.
