The Dollar is Worth Eighty Cents

A dollar store in East Lyme, Connecticut has raised the price of almost all items to $1.25. That means that the dollar is now worth 80 cents when it comes to buying really cheap crap. (If you think it should be 75 cents, do the math.)

The story was in the New London Day, which is a subscription-only paper after one day.

Good work, Chimpy!

(Of course, this doesn't matter one bit to the media pundits who are more concerned about whether Clinton lied about being under sniper fire or whether someone Obama knows was a radical 40 years ago. Which just goes to show that one way to improve the political discourse in this country would be to force all of the media pundits to take new jobs picking lettuce or mucking out cow barns.)
