The price of commodities have shot up because of the drought. Those commodities in turn are used to create the basic goods that people need.

Price of a gallon of milk in 2013 3.43
" 2014 5.14
Price of a dozen eggs in 2013 2.68
" 2014 3.16
Price of loaf of bread 2013 $1.41
" 2014 2.07

And chicken and beef and so on. Now those may not seem large jumps to you because you may have more disposable income but to people who are not making good wages (because those have been stagnant) and have to feed a family..its a lot. So like a I said low gas prices dont mean anything if you still cant afford the BASIC NEEDS.

And to you legsdiamond please save your snark. I am not talking out my ass its my field of study. Now if you want me to start talking about quantitative easing, yield curve and altering debt structure I will. FOH
