In Inflation Everything is More Expensive


Not Even Crack Heads Can Escape this Economy

By Charles Delvalle

Everyone’s having a hard time in this economy, even crack heads. We’ve all been talking about how wicked inflation has been over the past two years. Apparently Gus Young Jr. of West Palm Beach wasn’t listening.

In a fit of rage, he destroyed a DVD case and a Plexiglass counter after his friendly neighborhood drug dealer told him that the price of a rock of crack cocaine had gone from $10 to $20.

Editor’s Note:

Technically we are not in a full blown inflation.  We are in a “Stagflation” similar to the 1970′s. Many items like Stocks, and houses are falling in price reducing the money supply while at the same time many consumer items are rising.  For more information see our article on Stagflation.
