Why did my typical grocery products suddenly cost 20 to 30 cents more?

Taxes and higher fuel prices, now the states and Federal Government want to raise fuel taxes even more so stock up now.

It's the fallout from something called the "WORLD food price crisis", which actually kicked off in 2007-2008 during Bush's term. But it's worldwide, so to blame Obama you have to explain how he caused food prices to start skyrocketing in Asia, India, Russia, Europe, Latin and South America, and Australia, before he was even elected. Food is a global economy, so price rises in one place ripple through the whole system.

Blame wealth increases in India, China, Brazil and other growing economies, if you like, since they can now afford to consume MUCH more food and fuel, thus increasing prices for everyone.

If you really want to know why, and don't just want an excuse to shake your fist at Obama, you can educate yourself as to the causes:

QUOTE: "In late April 2008 rice prices hit 24 cents (U.S.) per U.S. pound, more than doubling the price in just seven months."

Rice double in price in 6 months under Bush. But i guess that wasn't Bush's fault, either. Did rice double in price in the previous 6 months under Obama?

I am paying 10$ more on my typical bill than I did 4 months ago. When you live on a fixed income this is nearly devastating.

Because Obama is bringing back the Carter years.

We're going to find out what would have happened if Carter got a second term.

Republicans are hitting people with fixed income more than ever to line the pockets of the grocery store chains.

One reason is the Fed is printing money and that lowers the value of our currency which in turn increases inflation There are many other reasons but that is one of them

Another reason to stop subsidizing ethanol production.

It's part of the whole "pay your fair share" idea....
