Prices Increase While Products Decrease
May 23rd 2011 10:30
I am sure that most of you are feeling the effects of higher prices in today's economy from gas to groceries, but have any of you noticed that the products are shrinking. Angel Soft tissue has decreased in size by nearly 100 sq. ft for a 12-pack roll and many other products are reducing in ounces, grams and alike while the prices are increasing and jobs remain scarce. Yet as we run out of our weekly items quicker and remain unable to fill our tanks, our government continues to forget that minimum wage is still greatly under the .35 cent per year increase that I spoke of in "The Price to Live" that would have us at $12.70 an hour for minimum wage this year if this had been done yearly since 1978... The American people are not at fault that the lavish lifestyles of the Presidents, CEO and likewise of companies have ran its course. It is called the result of GREED and it continues to show as companies try to find side steps to cutting their expenses while robbing us consumers... So how are we suppose to maintain a comfortable livelihood when gas is costing $4.00 a gallon, milk is $4.50 a gallon, and minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. The figures for average American households are not adding up and there is no true solution to getting the economy back on track, so what happens now? My theory: Companies will continue to reduce the size of their products to save on costs and consumers will continue to buy less products, travel only when necessary, and eliminate some items to live, so where does this leave the economy?
