our domestic inflation is more and more serious, price of many daily accessories has increased a lot, but our salary has not increased, it's hard for people live their life, especially for people who have low income. I hope our govenment can do something asap to control the inflation.

That is true. Before my father was able to buy a lot of food for only $2. Now, that $2 can only buy 2 of the food we bought before. I think it's because of the gasoline. Cost of transportation affected it too.

yes, a few years ago, we can buy a lot of things with RMB 100, now it's so easy to spend up it without buying enough things. we have to struggle to earn money all our life.

Yes, that is indeed around the world. Price of commodities going up all the time, and so that keeps the cost of living rising all along too. In addition, the impact of the value of the currency in a country is a big factor, espcially on commodities that are imported.

I am afraid that if you live in the USA our government is talking about slashing all sorts of programs. Included are Medicare & the child tax credit for families as well as tax credits that individuals and corporations get. Things are looking rather bleak but the spending has gotten so out of hand that we are in serious debt and things are not looking good all!

So true. Our salaries nowadays can't even satisfy all our necessities.
