There is no way that I believe those percent increases that people are quoting here or that the government is quoting here are anywhere near accurate. The government has to minimize the Social Security increase as a way of keeping the deficit down for next year. Additionally, those cost increases that are quoted don’t include the fact that virtually every container that every kind of food comes in is now smaller than it was before and there is less in it. In some cases up to 30 and 40% less food in the package. As usual, we seniors are getting screwed over by the government.
