Organic are more, about $1.35. The amusing thing is that Tom picks one item, beef, that happens to have increased a lot in price, and bases his inflation claim on that. The reality is that inflation is extremely low. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/yellen-federal-reserve-perplexed-by-chronically-low-inflation/ |

Tom, I just gave a link to data. Yes, I should have remembered how actual data makes you furious... but I didn't even make a comment about it! Yesterday I bought one lb of skirt steak. This is not an especially expensive piece of meat since it is the part that is cut off when they are butchering steaks. One lb of beef - almost $34. Two market steaks that were about 3/4 lb. $13. I was afraid to ask them how much New York cuts would cost. You paid $34 per pound for meat??? Look, the Free Market mechanism works like this: If the price is too high, you don't buy it. This sends the message that prices are too high, and tends to cause price drops. We biked to the grocery today. We bought some lean ground beef and a package or pork chops. I just checked, and both cost within a dime of $5.50 per pound. If you're foolish enough to pay seven times as much for meat, that's not a problem with the government; that's your own problem. At the same market I paid about $5.50 a lb for pork as well. I'm having my brother over for dinner tonight and decided that since he assisted my cop best friend in saving my life that nothing is too good for him. But these are REAL prices and not your "real data". In this same market I paid about 2% more for products than I would in a cut-rate place and the quality is 100% better. I know how it infuriates you when government reports are entirely wrong but then we've discussed how they cheat on calculating inflation before and apparently that doesn't change your opinion of those reports. |
