I went to McDonalds this morning for a coffee and the price didn't sound right, I check out their menu and everything is 25% more than it was last week.

Same thing happening else where, or just here in Michigan.

The price of a fat ass is going up, eh?


Probably has something to do with the economy sucking, the value of the dollar sucking, and McDonald's getting a lot of their products from foreign countries.

I laugh every time I see someone make a comment like this these days. The economy is not "sucking real bad" [sic], it's simply not growing as fast as it once was. The economy was in bad shape in the early 1980's, but it really hasn't had a strongly negative period since then. Even when the bubble burst in 2000 it wasn't really a case of the economy flatlining, rather it was a natural correction. The unemployment rate is holding steady around 4.5%, which is on the happy side of the overall average since 1948 (the first year for which I was able to find data).

Just because we're no longer on an artificially steep (and, consequently, non-sustainable) growth curve doesn't mean that we're in a state of decline.

You might be right but like I said my only concern was my salary isn't worth as much, which is true. My salary s worth to me is how much the dollar is worth. That is why I made that comment.

You have to understand the skewed view people of Michigan have of the economy. Michigan is in a one state recession.

Bollocks. Inflation has a bigger effect on the $ in your pocket than the exchange rate and that is low. The only effect you'll see is imported goods will be more expensive, and I doubt McD's need to import much.

Unfortunately with all this property sitting and going into foreclosure due to values falling and demand being nearly nil...we are all going to feel it over the next few years.

There are tons of people that need to sell their homes due to not being able to afford them now. Problem is is that those homes are worth 20-50% less than they paid for them within the last couple years. Even if they sold they'd still be left holding a bag.

Everything will be going up in price and unemployment will rise. There is going to be another huge home builder layoff around the first of the year as everyone's fiscal year now comes to a close.

Is Michigan really this bad, I know they have money problems but I don;t know how critical it is.
