Inflatio is totally out of control . McDonalds just reported earnings down on excessive cost of goods . A year and ahalf ago a cheeseburger at my local McD's was $1.49 last week $3.00 . McD's runs on razor sharp margins , they don't raise prices unless they are sqeezed . I think inflation is close to 50% in the last 2 years . Mcdonalds is my barometer on the real inflation number .
I lived thru the late 70's and early 80's when gold and silver ran ,this inflation is much much worse than those days .
