Reply #128: Shrub eliminated the baseline to hide inflation.

I know you might be forgetful but perhaps the term "Fixed Market Basket" might ring some bells.

The government has been screwing with this since forever (greatly accelerated under Raygun/41 of course) but it was the misbegotten turd and his house servant that finally removed the baseline entirely.

Now we all know that you are pretty comfortable and dislike anything that threatens to rock your boat, but the fact is that millions of seniors that were struggling then are desperate now and have just been handed another "fuck you very much" by this "Democratic" administration.

Try to have some compassion.
