broadwaydc Rookie Author Indiana Posts:6 Points:300 Joined:Jun 2006	Message Posted: Jul 6, 2007 2:29:45 PM Ignore broadwaydc Report Abuse I think that all of us will be most hard hit when we go to the grocery store. The prices will continue to go up drastically more than the 'so called' inflation rate which does not even take into consideration things we use every day like food or fuel when they decide what our rate of inflation is.
