Many price increases were hidden, though. For instance, a Big Mac hamburger costs the same but is now the size of a little Mac. Many cans and packages that once held one pound of product now hold twelve or fourteen ounces for the same or higher price. The only reason some clothing and small household appliances have not increased in price lately is because they are made in China or some other third world country. Even so, the price may have stayed relatively the same but, in many cases, the quality greatly decreased.
Energy is also a major problem.
Short of nuking all our foreign oil suppliers, it's hard to see exactly how the Clinton administration could have made a bigger mess, even if they had tried. Heating oil and propane are in short supply, gasoline prices skyrocketed and thousands of over the road truckers are going bankrupt because of the high cost of diesel fuel. On top of that, Clinton's obnoxious EPA is relentless in its quest to bother every single person in the nation about any little thing they can possibly think of. Congress, of course, is totally impotent on these issues. Rather than take charge, they have unconstitutionally handed off their authority to the politburos of dozens of administrative agencies.
