GOP "consultant" (paid hoe) Caroline Sunshine was on Jesse Watters show last night telling people: "Ummm well like actually maybe you shouldn't like um make fun of people because they can't um like actually afford a $20 burrito. That like um lyke makes them really mad and they tend to not vote for you...actually."

I don't really know what a burrito's supposed to cost, but I remember 89 cent burgers, and $4 burgers, and $8 burgers, and I guess it's like $10 now (?)

The Hundred Dollar Hamburger seems like an impenetrable wall, but is it really?

What's the chance we really get to $100 for a burger or a burrito in our lifetimes?
Right but median salaries tend to track government reported CPI index. Social Security *certainly* tracks government reported CPI index.

The problem is that the CPI has become this fictitious imaginary thing that has absolutely nothing to do with real world costs anymore. They're claiming inflation is 5% but people are showing real prices have doubled over the past couple of years.

So yes, they are making everyone poorer.
