Nineteen Cent Hamburgers

There is a chain of hamburger stands in Seattle called Dick's, that as started in the 1950's and has been going strong.  They pay above minimum wage and offer community college tuition at six months.

I seem to recall when their hamburgers were 11 cents, then 15, and then 19.  That was when inflation was beginning.  Last night I had one, and noticed something... it was the same price, but smaller.  At least 20% smaller.  Bummer.  That is where we are heading because we have agreed to engage in criminal wars overseas, and we agree to bailout bankers, foreign and domestic.  We will experience less because of our action, like night follows day.
