I don't spend much time at the grocery store. I do some shopping for sundry items. I'm not really that aware of consumer prices. I dine out more than i eat at home. I do spend more money these days on gas. That I purchase. My partner says that the grocery prices are going up alot.

I look at part of the problem with prices would be transportation. The high cost of fuel will inevitably add to the end user cost. Another might be the food corn being used for fuel. Each of those would add considerable to the cost to set a meal on someones table.

I usually don't like the idea of government regulating prices. Yet there are some circumstances that would make me have a look. This is one of those times. I would agree for a temporary time a roll back or freeze may be helpful. I think the biggest problem is oil. Somehow the government should be able set prices on fuel at the pump. By lowering that one price we should see a lowering of prices across the board.
