I understand what you're saying bud and I'm well aware of how it's a trickling effect. Let's just use groceries for example. We know it will cause their prices to increase. People will just have to shop a little wiser by cutting coupons or not getting the brand name for everything. There's always ways to save and cut back, but many people still "have" to have the best of everything even when they can save by buying off brands. Don't buy as many snacks, sodas, etc. I'm not directing this at you J. I'm just using an example.
