1/3 of the inflation spike was due to used cars spiking 40%. So if you don't buy a used car, you don't feel that.

Milk and eggs up 13% or so. Did not catch all the other details. She appeared on Katy Tur's show on MSNBC earlier today.

It is a one-way street, though. The government keeps its hands off private businesses, but they don't keep their hands off the government, or out of the government's pockets, do they?

And I bet countless employees across the board are waiting for a raise after prices went up on so many items. What a racket.
