Monthly propane bills out here are already 1500 for a lot of people. Mine last month was 1150. 6 years ago it never topped 330.
My wife sent me food shopping the other day (I never go) but she was ill so I went. I was shocked at some of the prices. Anything prepared is outrageous. I plastic container of sliced fruit was 16.99!
IMO fuel costs driven in part by the insane environmental wackos with the ethanol movement is what is causing a lot of this. Yes China is increasing demand but this ethanol madness has got to stop. It takes more energy to MAKE ethanol then it produces. Further, this mandate is driving up corn prices to record levels every day. Corn is used as feed. Farmers can't eat the cost so it is passed on as higher meat and dairy prices. They have got to stop this madness. and return to more responsible behavior. I read someplace over the weekend that the amount of corn it takes to create a gallon of ethanol could FEED A FAMILY OF 4 FOR A YEAR!
