Really? Do the math, adjust prices for inflation for some of the basic things like gas, milk, bread, eggs etc. over the past 20 years. Going to be some interesting results. Adjusted for inflation, milk has actually gotten cheaper over the past few years, but that has been changing. Fuel is cheaper, as is bread and eggs. If you are going to complain about the cost of goods and make a moronic response to something posted, at least don't pick a post made by an economics major. It's too easy for me to pick you apart.
