More economic GOOD News...DOW hits new record..on track to hit 17K.

Good for you, but others are suffering. High food and gas prices are really hurting average Americans. A trip to the grocery store has become a nightmare for many.

The cost of food has virtually doubled since Obama took the throne.

What's "doubled", exactly? Meat went up a little bit. But that's mainly due to drought.

I go shopping every week. My grocery bill hasn't doubled.

What's "doubled", exactly? Meat went up a little bit. But that's mainly due to drought.

I said food, not Mad Dog and Thunderbird...

Obama isn't the primary cause of the vast increase in food costs, this goes back to Clinton. Bush especially pushed the Ethanol mandates to benefit ADM. Obama has merely expanded and continued the policies of his predecessors.

But the result is a dramatic increase in food costs. Corn is the primary feed for chicken and cattle, a major sweetener, and used in virtually every processed food as starch, oil, syrup, or emulsifier.

Chicken, Beef, and Pork have all more than doubled per pound. Sweetener has become so expensive that soft drinks have gone back to using cane sugar - it is now cheaper than corn syrup. Mexico has accused the USA of engaging in genocide, due to the insane increase in the cost of tortillas.

{(CNSNews.com) - The price of beef and bacon hit its all-time high in the United States in June, according to data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
In January 1980, when BLS started tracking the price of these commodities, ground chuck cost $1.82 per pound and bacon cost $1.45 per pound. By this June 2014, ground chuck cost $3.91 per pound and bacon cost $6.11 per pound.}

So ground chuck went from $1.82 per pound to $3.91 over a 34 year period. Are you seriously using that statistic to point out high food inflation?

Your source says inflation for all food was 2.5% for the past 12 months. Sounds like double to me.

Oh Gawd, you Obmabots really are desperate. Rabid OWS nutters now suddenly adore Wallstreet fatcats? Yeah, you guys are truly pathetic. Can't trust you on anything ever again. You have no credibility left whatsoever. You're very disingenuous people.

Not really sure how this is relevant to anything.

The thread is about a strong economy and the stock market. The latter is where I work.

Additionally it's kind of amazing you anarchists and libertarians don't start your own country. I mean all your ideas are so swell. It's just too bad they never work.

The economy is not "strong"

Many industries are just floating along despite the market. Your opinion on the state of the economy is completely skewed because of the bubble you work in. Average Americans don't make a paycheck based on the ups and downs of Pfizer or other publicly traded companies.

The market is PART of the overall picture. You act as if it is the entire pie.

Prior to the crash the construction industry was booming. Now it's just floating along with many strip malls, both new & old, sitting half vacant. My suppliers comment regularly on how much they've had to adjust to the new norm. Based on those facts alone I could counter that the truth is the exact opposite of what you claim. But unlike you I'm not a completely biased retard. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

The poster even went back on his own claim.

In any case?

Government subsidies farmers.

It doesn't run agriculture. The Majority of those who produce food, are in it for the profit.

Ain't that a pickle..eh?

Day 2 awaiting the tea party economic catastrophe that hasn't happened yet.

I don't expect an economic catastrophe.

If you look at the Soviet Union, the decline was slow and steady over many decades. Not March 2nd, enact socialism, March 3rd economic catastrophe.

The Sub-prime crash is a perfect example. The whole thing started in 1997, and the crash didn't happen until 2008.

Even the Great Depression, didn't start in an instant. Yes, the stock market crashed in a month, but unemployment didn't go to 20% in a day.

I expect a more slow and steady decline over the next 20 years, assuming that we maintain an ever growing socialized system. Which that could change. Obama Care, has been changing from its original form, constantly. It's possible they could eliminate all of the economically damaging elements, and end up not causing the problems we expect.

Or a Republican can be elected, and then the health insurance sector could finally crash, and every idiot on the left, blames the republican, for the problems caused by Obama Care, which is exactly what happened with sub-prime mortgages.

I'm reversing my post from saying food prices have doubled to saying that food prices have doubled?.

First, you said food has doubled under Obama, but your link showed that meat prices have doubled since 1980. So, unless you want to claim Obama has been President for over 34 years……you've disproved your own claim.
