Venezuela sends in troops to force electronics chain to charge 'fair' prices

Venezuela is having some serious issues.  Can you imagine 53% inflation here?

Wellie, unfortunately I can visualize what that kind of inflation would do here.  It would be scary.

Well, just like them, we all get what the majority votes for, don't we?

I got my first taste of Obamacare today.  Higher price, basically no protection because everything is a deductible.  Including office visits and Rx.   Oh, but there is a health care savings account program so that I can save money to pay for any medical needs that may arise, in addition to paying them 2600 a year for a policy that pays for nothing.   What kind of inflation is that?

   Denotes that something stinks here.

I hear ya' Sledge.

MrsMac and my insurance is up next year (COBRA). I was visiting my Dr. last week and I asked him if he will take cash after our insurance is up as we are not going to sign-up for OC.

To make a long story short we got into a rather heated debate where he was trying to convince me to sigh-up. I finally said, "Doc, don't you have other patients to see? My original question was...Will you take cash and will you not send our records to the IRS?" 

Well he said yes to both. 

So our plan is to pay cash for normal visits (Est $50- a visit) and put $X a month into a Money Market account to use in an emergency.

Anyhow, getting back to the original topic here: Once the Fed stops printing $85B a month, watch what a loaf of bread is going to cost you.

Stay tuned...

Not to mention if the farm bill doesn't get renewed soon!
