The Federal Reserve and their policy of 2% or more inflation a year which deflates your purchasing power.OK, gallon of cheap leaded regular in 1955 was $0.22 a gallon. I just filled up with more expensive unleaded regular at $2.52 a gallon [[more expensive to refine).
In 1955, I could mail a 1st class letter for three cents and now it is 40-plus cents.
Who is ripping us off, the oil sheiks or the postal unions?
