Not to mention that bread and other wheat products are also supposed to
increase prices greatly just like anything that corn feeds since they are
diverting so much corn into the ethanol program that the remaining causes
beef prices and other prices to rise.  Thankfully I don't have to drive
into
work each day now but I'm also effected greater by price increases being
on
a fixed income these days and that income hasn't increased to keep up with
the other price increases.

$4.00 gasoline will also surely put a crimp on motels and traveling most
likely, or maybe not, we've seemed to adapt and accept almost anything
these
days. 

The question I have is would our generation be able to answer the result
of
an actual depression, if one ever came like in the late 20's early 30's of
the 20th century?  I do think that generation may justify it's
categorization as the "greatest generation".
