First off it's not just inflation. It's the deliberate devaluing of US Currency. That's what QE1, 2, etc were. We're buying back our debt at pennies on the dollar and paying for it by printing money with no, or at least less, value than what we were loaned. There is 540% more money in circulation today than in 2000! There's a huge part of the problem. Then go to step 2- taxes, regulation, fee's, interest and more taxes! Every single gov't program, every grant, every new high school foot ball field or computer lab, every bit of pork is paid for by taxes. In fact, we spend so much we have to borrow to keep up. All that goes to adding to your bill. not just on your taxes, but at McDonalds too.
I'm just going to stop at this point and say that it's not "inflation", not as people think of it. There's not nearly as much "greed" in play as people like to think. It's a matter of survival. Wait until the Obamcare employer mandate kicks in, wait until the min wage is doubled to $15.@hour, wait until some politician promising "free stuff" gets in office. Then your 20.00 McDonalds meal will be several times that.
