“I mean look gasoline up about 50 percent over the last year plus used cars up 35 percent, to be able to get a used car. Gas utilities up 22 percent, meat and poultry up 14 percent, electricity up 11 percent,” he explained, adding that “staples that people need to just live a basic life are going up much higher than 8.5 percent.
