Keep in mind that the majority of the cost of a gallon of gas is in taxes. In 1998, the cost of a gallon of gas actually went down by .27/gal, but the price at the pumps went up by .28/gal because of tax increases. If you were to strip the taxes out of gas prices, it would be around .45/gal. Don't that burn yer shorts?
"What's that, sir? You would like a fill-up? OK, then B.O.H.I.C.A."
Let's see, inflation is non-existent according to Mr. Greenjeans...uh, Greenspan, eh?
OK, Alan, 'splain dis:
Cost in 1970 Cost today
Bread- .39/loaf $1.79/loaf
milk- 1.25/gal 2.50+/gal
cereal- 1.30/box 3.00+/box
eggs- .39/doz .99/doz
If that isn't inflation, please tell me what inflation is, Mr. Greencrap. Then kiss my big ol' hairy white butt.
