    A friend and I stopped by a McDonald's last night after some morel hunting. Purchased a large drink w/free refills for $1.00, two double cheeseburgers for $1.29 each, a small fries for $1.19, and two apple pies for $1.00. We watched a little Fox News on the TV and then played some original Mario Brothers (in the modified two player vs way) on the free arcade.

    I do see inflation, but in my experience, McDonald's still provides a good value. The McDonald's in the OP must really suck.

    Don't think you can add filler to actual chicken.

    Usually they are just breaded and deep fried.

    prices are up because the Federal Reserve has driven the value of the dollar down.

    "Our common sense hides this source of higher prices because we view the dollar as fixed, and prices as moving. News reports explain the sharp rise in consumer prices in February were caused by higher energy and food prices, implying that higher prices cause inflation. Of course, higher prices do not cause inflation. Higher prices are inflation."
