<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1369224, member: 22143&quot;]Son, you turned this into an argument by making a sarcastic remark about my $3.99 bread price.&nbsp; When I provide some real numbers, you ignored that and then said it didn&#039;t matter if inflation happened because bread was more affordable now than it was in 1933.&nbsp; Your proof was this was because average salary was higher vs bread price.&nbsp;&nbsp; I disagree this is a valid conclusion because average doesn&#039;t say where this money is going in the population.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You then asked me how many people can afford bread. I assume now the question was rhetorical, but I decided to answer it anyway, just like I did when you decided to dismiss my $3.99 price given for bread.&nbsp;&nbsp; I gave you a relatively simply answer based on the number of people getting foodstamps, who are unemployed, or not earning a living wage.&nbsp; These numbers are easy to pickup from the government and are not subject to debate except that IMO, they under-report.&nbsp; Now you may disagree that people in these categories don&#039;t have any problem affording bread, and that&#039;s fine with me.&nbsp; I&#039;m not the one who brought it up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
