Been in a WalMart lately?   I don't bother to check the price of corn flakes 
since we don't eat them, but I can tell you that beans, rice, flour, milk, 
butter, cooking oil, eggs, cheese, meat, bread, coffee, fruit, vegetables, 
fish, 
and all the ordinary things one would buy to feed one's family have gone up 
.... WAY up. 

We don't buy most of those things but I like to go by and sneer at the price 
all the same ... and I remember them, an idiot-savant thing with me, I 
remember prices forever ..... d'd'definately.  So no mistake, ordinary food 
for the 
folk has gone up tremendously at the Mart.

So I ain't buyin' the 30% blather.
