Not since the Wage Price Freeze of Richard Nixon(1970?) have I seen people angry over the cost of goods and services, case in point, the bakery in the local supermarket has shrunk the content of an apple strudel roll we love to eat at breakfast to the point the clear plastic container is way too big for the strudel, I complained to the manager and he said they have to cut back the size of baked goods all around just to keep prices competitive. (But use up the containers they bought 6 months ago!) So you pay more and get less.all the while car dealers and stores are closing and municipal taxes are skyrocketing. Any other input from the areas of USA/Abroad? thanks, just a FYI................
