Some persons within our society, myself included, would consider such behavior insane. Some would say that even to pay in excess of $5.00 for a lunchtime sandwich is bordering on the frivolous.
While I am aware that the once mighty dollar (formerly backed by gold and silver and previously and correctly referred to as money) has been replaced with something more liken to Monopoly "money", i.e. FRN's (Federal Reserve Notes - not money, but debt instruments issued against the absurd spending habits of those occupying the chambers of higher government in past ages), I am aghast at the levels of inflation that have sapped the strength of our once robust economy via NAFTA's outsourcing strategies to save American companies from the ever growing greed of labor unions that threaten their very existence.
Our penalty in pursuing a profit margin acceptable to the share holders is that we no longer produce much that still has the label MADE IN AMERICA on it. THAT, will be our final undoing.
