No Inflation Here Boss

Why is this necessary?

The cost of goods and services going through the roof even though there's no inflation

My lying eyes are at it again.  For two years now I've been expecting the cost of stuff I buy - like food - to start dropping, or at least to not increase.  That's what should happen when people lose their jobs wholesale, and those who are working have salaries frozen, if not cut back.  Which causes businesses that have been around forever to close.  And the survivors to  lower prices in order to stay alive.  Which means cutting back on overhead by buying cheaper, trimming staff, etc., etc.   Unless you were around for Jimmy Carter, you've never felt inflation; and you're not feeling it now.  We know that because government reports tell us there's no inflation.   Mr. Bernanke has maintained that inflation is not even a threat!  He's a smart guy.  Has to be.  Figured out how to print money faster than Zimbabwe with no ill effect. So why in hell is the price of cotton, sugar, orange juice and underpants going through the roof?  Our government wouldn't be sending out phony economic reports would they?   Of course they would.  It's part and parcel of  living in a nanny state, where bad news is controlled  because we the people are just so helpless when faced with harsh realities, don't you know? Cuzzin Ricky, my staff economist,  keeps sending me WASS economic reports that put the lie to every damn thing we are being told by this Obamunist gummint.  I don't read them anymore.  I don't have an answer.   La la la la la ... .
