its the way inflation is growing.

Actually it's going down. Look at the housing markets for instance, they are all dieing. My brother's house, outside of Boston, he bought for $610k, now he can't even get $550k for it. (serves him right, I think the house sucks)

take a trip to the grocery store.

If this is a major issue, blame the greedy people SELLING the product. Nothing the government can do here. Farmers can be very greedy...we have MILLIONAIRE farmers here...seriously.

or fill up your gas tank.

I'll give you that one cause I am firm believer that we need to use alternative fuels, and reduce our dependancy on foriegn oil. However, think this wouldn't have happened on someone else's watch, you're mistaken. It sucks that it costs me $80 to fill up, and it doesn't look like it's going to get better. But we as consumers have JUST AS MUCH IF NOT MORE TO DO WITH THIS! We still buy gas at wasteful rates, and the gas companies are making record profits 300% higher than last year. Is this Bush? HELL NO. It's we as citizens. Put the blame where it belongs.

or take your son or daughter to the doctors.

It only costs me $20. That doesn't break anyone's bank. So why is this an issue for you?

at an average of 3% pay raise, i basically cant afford the luxuries that I'm used to. and inflation is one issue the government can do something about

What luxuries are you referring to? Eating caviar on your yacht? The majority of the country is living well. I know this doesn't make anyone feel better, but it's true.
