where is all the inflation that Conservatives warned us about with Obama as President?

Anyone with some actual numbers?

Update:

"It will happen when they stop propping the economy and stock market "

That is probably the only thing holdig us back from deflation - so, no...wrong

Update 2:

"Obama more than doubled deficits, I call that inflation"

Well, then, you should look up what inflation is

    The nice thing about being a conservative is you can say anything you want to confidence that none of your constituents are going to remember it in a year. And since Fox will pretend it never happened, it never did.

    It depends upon how you count inflation. The new farm bill eliminates a million students from the school lunch program. Those that get to saty in, have a max of 850 calories. The rest must buy. For most, 850 calories are for the day.

    Food is no longer counted in inflation. The average American family of four now spends $900 a month. Just on food. Five years ago, it was less than 1/2 that. Energy costs have sky rocketed. They just went up 30% in December. Energy costs are not calculated into inflation.

    Housing has risen, even as you are forced to pay for Omed. When's the last time you got a raise?

    when millions of jobs are lost through inept policy and leadership, it becomes a moot point, genius. remember when Obama and carney said 2.5 million jobs lost through obamacare was a "good thing". the idea that the faithful support this is both sad and chilling.
