Foreshadowing

I watched a news segment last night on First Lady Mrs. Obama leading a group of kids in starting a garden on the White House compounds. The White House chef staff recommended they garden so they can grow their own vegetables.

It was a good Kodak moment, capturing a bunch of kids turning green and helping the First Family become nutritionally self-sufficient.

But the underlying message was crystal clear. Mr. Obama is not stupid. He knows these trillion dollar spending bills and bailouts, and pumping the economy with even more trillions can only lead to inflation. Food prices will soar within the next several years, if not sooner. More people will turn to gardening for emotional, environmental, and financial reasons. The Obamas are only giving us some subliminal propaganda. Grow your own food, because the prices you pay at the checkout register will be exorbitant.

President Obama and Congress know they are backed into a corner. In order to service our huge national debt, they have two options: inflate or die. They are choosing the inflation option. Families should be wise to protect their declining purchasing power.
