This is a headline, the Smoking GUN website, Clintonite stabs Obama supporter.
Clintonite, I love that word, usually is Clintonoid.
Clintonite stabs Obama supporter.
It's a story we had yesterday.
This is uh, Pennsylvania.
Jose Antonio Ortiz stabbed his brother-in-law in the stomach after they quarreled about their respective support of Democrat presidential candidates Obama and Hillary.
Anyway greetings, welcome back, nice to have you Rush Limbo here on the cutting edge of societal evolution.

In today's Boston Globe, if a compact fluorescent breaks, get children and pets out of the room and ventilate the room.
Never use a vacuum, even on a rug, to clean up a broken compact fluorescent bulb.
Instead, use stiff paper, such as index cards and tape, to pick up pieces and then wipe the area with a wet wipe or damp paper towel.
If there are young children or pregnant women in the house, consider cutting out the piece of carpet where the lamp broke as a precaution.
Place the shards and cleanup debris in a glass jar with a screw top and remove the jar from the house.
This is what you got to do when one of these compact fluorescent bulbs breaks, and it's not just.
You just can't take it to the trash dump, either you have to call hazmat to have this stuff properly disposed of.
Most states Uh allow intact compact fluorescents to be thrown away, but some Vermont Minnesota, California ban the disposal of intact compact fluorescents in trash.
Massachusetts also ramping up a compact fluorescent recycling program and in may will ban disposal of any intact compact fluorescent light bulb in the trash.
I don't know how long before the lawsuits.
It won't.
It won't be long, but these are the things that have been mandated folks to reduce our carbon footprint.
Mr Limbaugh yes, we must engage in this safy prothythrium, mr Limbo, to save the earth.
I get so sick and tired of the new Castrati being in charge of everybody's lives like this, the incandescent bulb destroying the planet I.
It is so frankly, ridiculous and absurd that it insults my intelligence and it worries me when so many people are so mind numbed that they go along with these charades and make it they make, make themselves feel like they're actually doing something to improve the uh, the light, the headline, or their lives the, the headline in the Boston Globe story.
By the way, mercury leaks found as new bulbs break.
Energy benefits of fluorescence may outweigh risk.
Oh, really?
So now we're going to put mercury.
When is the last time a bunch of liberals downplayed the risk of something?
Wait till the trial lawyers get hold of this.
Downplay the risk?
Energy benefits of fluorescence may outweigh the risk.
You asked for it, you got it.
You vote liberal Democrat.
This is what you get.
When you're going to allow a bunch of bureaucrats to turn over as much of your freedom as you have, this is what you get.
When you buy into hoaxes and silly things that a little examination with your own common sense can tell you is not true, such as incandescent light bulbs destroying the planet, causing global warming.
If you're going to buy into this tripe, then you deserve what you got.
The point you deserve.
The problem is we're all going to get it too because of people's stupidity.
We're not going to have a choice to put compact fluorescence in our houses or not.
You can't dim these things, can you?
I'm not that familiar, but I don't think what I think I've heard people say that you can't dim them.
In other words, put them on dimmers.
If this actually happens, you guys have been to my house.
If this actually happens, I'll have to tear the whole wall.
I'll have to tear everything apart.
I have, there's no way.
I mean, I am not going to have a bunch of spaghetti-looking light bulbs on display from the ceiling, accent lighting for various pictures on the wall.
They're crazy.
I'm not going to take them out.
I'm just telling you.
It is.
Folks, ain't going to happen.
This just, it is, it is.
I wonder, however, I wonder if I could put some compact fluorescents outside in my landscape lighting and not have to turn them off for the turtle season because they're safer and they're more energy efficient and so forth.
And maybe the turtles won't even be able to see them.
Fat chance.
Talked earlier about what's happening in Texas in terms of Republicans voting Obama, Houston Chronicle story.
In Democrat primary, expect a GOP turnout.
Perhaps fueled by Clinton dislike.
Many Republicans say they are going to vote for Obama.
I understand I've got a big challenge here to try to get Republicans to change their minds on this and vote for Hillary to keep her in the race to keep that party at war with itself.
John's barbershop, this is how the story begins.
A John's barbershop and styling shop in the historic downtown of this conservative community southeast of Austin.
Politics is clearly in the air these days.
What has particularly struck stylist Pete Campos is how many of his Republican customers are talking about voting for Obama next week, motivated more, he surmised by a strong dislike of Hillary than a strong attachment to Obama.
Campos, who's an independent who's leaning toward voting for Obama, says, I think Hillary scares some people.
Now, according to the polling, as well as some anecdotal evidence, an unusually large number of Republicans and independents may cast their votes in the Democrat contest next week, a prospect that could tip the outcome of what polls show is now a tight race.
Such defections could also affect the many local and state legislative primaries around the state.
An American research group poll released yesterday showed Obama leading Clinton 71 to 25 percent among Texas independents and Republicans who are likely to vote in the Democrat primary.
Darren Shaw, political science professor, University of Texas, said that surveys he conducted in two state legislative districts in the Dallas-Fort Worth area revealed that almost a quarter of voters with a history of voting in Republican primaries planned on participating in the Democrat primary.
Darren Shaw, who conducts exit polls for Fox News, said that while some Republicans are voting in the Democrat primary largely for strategic reasons, he said others may be tired of Republican control of government and are drawn to a fresh face and ideas.
Yeah, who knows?
Michael Jones, 39-year-old self-described conservative Republican who is involved in marketing, said he'll vote for Obama so that Hillary gets out.
But he's not enamored of Obama.
I just wish he get some substance, said Michael Jones.
But Jones said that he's undecided about the general election because he doesn't like McCain, who he described as just another Washington senator.
So you see, confusion is running rampant out there, and it's clear that Republicans in Texas have been listening to this program where we had advised Republicans to pimp themselves for a day and go vote in the Democrat primary.
Teach them what it's like, by the way.
They screwed our primaries up early up, all these Democrats and independents in these open states showing up and voting for a bunch of non-conservatives.
It's about time we screwed them up.
I just think at this stage, the longer Hillary can stay in this, the better for us is the bottom line.
Quick timeout.
We'll be right back.
Okay, here we are back.
Rush Limbaugh with talent on loan from God.
Now, for the past two days, I have lamenting, or been lamenting the fact that the Republican Party is officially, well, not officially yet, but I mean, people behind the scenes RNC are leaking this without attribution, that they're deeply strategiizing how to criticize Obama without running the risk of being accused of racism and bigotry and all of that,
which is another reason why I want to extend Hillary's run here so that Obama gets bloodied up because it's apparent that the Republicans aren't going to bloody him up.
In fact, you know, yesterday in the opening monologue, I repeated, reprised the question I so often ask of people to take time to consider.
How is it that in less than 250 years, a population of less than 300 million has come to so dominate the world?
Never before in human history has there been an America.
Not even close.
And we're no different than anybody else in terms of DNA and humanity.
We're no different.
How has this happened?
What's the reason?
There are substantive reasons.
I got an email from a guy responding to this.
Dear Rush, I agree that freedom is first and foremost the reason America is exceptional.
But there's another thing which is born of freedom that makes America exceptional.
America is the greatest collection of ass-whooping warriors the earth has ever seen.
From a ragtag bunch of drunks, old men, and youth, the Continental Army defeated the greatest empire in the world at the time, at the time, to earn independence.
We repelled the nation a second time in 1812.
The story goes on over and over the same way until the 1960s and the rule of liberalism, World War I, World War II, you name it.
We are a nation of warriors.
He is exactly right.
This is from William Giolando.
Don't know where William's from.
He's a subscriber to Rush 24-7.
But he's exactly right.
We are a nation of warriors for good.
We liberate the oppressed.
We do not conquer.
The reason that his email resonated is that our political party, the Republican Party, has no warriors in the political sense.
None.
None are willing to fight the premise of liberalism.
None are willing to fight the premise behind the liberal Democrat agenda.
Well, there are exceptions to this.
I mean, John Boehner right now is doing something very good in the House.
He is trying to humiliate the Democrats into voting for the FISA Intelligence Act that the Senate passed.
So, I mean, there are spurts of it.
But, of course, we never see Republicans on TV attacking liberals the way we are constantly attacked.
We just don't do it.
We don't have warriors.
We have some.
They're just not in elected office, at least federally.
I think there's some effervescence out there, if you will, in the warrior class in the state legislatures, governors' mansions, and this sort of thing.
But it is an excellent point.
And here is an illustration of what I'm talking about.
McCain's in Cincinnati.
MSNBC is reporting that a McCain supporter repeatedly calls Barack Obama Barack Hussein Obama.
This supporter, I think it was a Cincinnati talk show host, but I'm not sure, was on the mic at a McCain rally, kept referring to Obama as Barack Hussein Obama.
Now, may I ask a simple question?
Is that his name?
It is.
So why can't it be used?
Because McCain apologized for this.
McCain went out there after the event was over and virtually apologized and said that kind of disparaging reference to his opponent is not the way he runs his campaign.
He said he accepts full responsibility for it because his campaign set up the event, but he didn't know that the talk show host was going to be speaking.
So it's Barack Hussein Obama.
Now, we don't make a big deal out of it here, but other people do.
And it happened at a McCain rally.
McCain went out there.
We're sorry.
It's uncalled for.
It's uncalled for in American politics.
It's not going to happen.
I take full responsibility, although he did it.
And I didn't even know he's going to be here.
Now, what if McCain's middle name was Adolph instead of Sidney?
His name is Sidney.
What if Obama, what if the Democrats start talking about John Sidney McCain?
Is somebody going to say, we're not going to tolerate that?
That's a kind of disparaging reference to my opponent.
We're not going to put up with.
His middle name is Hussein.
Come on, Rush.
You know they're trying to use it in a disparaging way.
How?
Oh, but because Saddam Hussein, because it's a Arabic name?
What, what?
It's his name.
As I say, we don't make a big deal out of it here, but this just illustrates the fact we're not even going to do that.
And in fact, if somebody does call him Hussein, because we're going to apologize for it because it's disparaging.
So we're going into this defensive.
Now, some of you may think strategically it's wise to stay away from it because it's only going to gin up sympathy for him because the name is obviously highly charged.
But, you know, you can't call Barack Obama a liberal.
I have a story in the stack here.
He doesn't want to be called a liberal.
No, no, you can't call him a liberal.
You know, I'm not kidding.
I'm going to find it in a stack here at somebody.
He does not want to be called a liberal.
It's in the Boston Globe.
I mean, he bristles at it when people call him a liberal.
Well, let me find it.
Let me see.
Ask me all these questions.
It's coming up.
Where did I put the stack here?
So many stacks.
Oops, going to be in a different stack.
Okay, hang on.
Let me find this.
I can do many things at once.
Sit tight.
Let's see.
Is this it?
Just don't call Barack Obama liberal.
Okey-doke.
That's the headline.
It's by Peter Canellis.
In his radio and TV ads that are blanketing Texas, Barack Obama claims a chief executive can make more money in 10 minutes than an ordinary worker makes in a year.
Obama wants to win the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, enact a national health plan, offer a $4,000 a year tuition reimbursement in exchange for national service, and have the government intervene to prevent home foreclosures.
But he doesn't want anybody to call him a liberal.
Despite Obama's vow to build a working majority for change to win a clear mandate for his progressive agenda rather than engage in Clinton-like triangulation, he's not willing to own the L-word.
Now that McCain has all but secured the GOP knot, he's been trying to cast Obama as a liberal.
The National Journal recently obliged by publishing a survey declaring Obama the most liberal senator.
The survey itself was highly subjective based on a limited number of recent votes, but it nevertheless pegged Obama as a liberal.
On Friday, Obama responded by denying it.
Obama said, mimicking his critics, oh, he's a liberal.
He's a liberal.
Let me tell you something.
There's nothing liberal about wanting to reduce money in politics.
That's common sense.
There's nothing liberal about wanting to make sure our soldiers are treated properly when they come home.
There's nothing liberal about wanting to make sure everybody has health care.
We're spending more on health care in this country than any other advanced country, but we got more uninsured.
There's nothing liberal about saying that doesn't make sense and we should do something smarter with our health care system.
He has invented a phrase for actions that smack of politics as usual, okey-doke.
Of the liberal campaign, Obama thundered, don't let him run that okey-doke on you.
Okay, so his name is off limits.
Can't can't use Hussein.
He can't call him a liberal.
What other facts about Obama are we not going to be allowed to talk about?
That's right.
Can't talk about his ears either because when Maureen Dowd made some comment about his ears, he went straight into the crowd and said, I'm very sensitive about my ears.
She said, we're trying to toughen you up.
Well, it hasn't worked.
Can't use the name Hussein.
Can't call him a liberal.
And this is the kind of thing this very, look at, it's brilliant on Obama's part.
He's setting the rules and everybody's going to abide by him.
Republican National Committee.
Okay, we can't call him a liberal because he's going to tear into us.
We don't want him tearing into us.
Well, I don't know how you're going to characterize his policies if you don't call him a liberal.
And by the way, what's so bad about being a liberal?
How come none of these liberals want to be called liberals?
See, Obama's no different than any of the rest of them, folks.
No different at all.
Nothing new here.
Only thing new is that Democrats have now made it official that their guiding principle is America sucks.
But they have to mask who they are.
They have to disguise themselves, camouflage themselves, whatever.
You call them a liberal, and it's a personal attack.
And so Obama's now set the liberal off-limits can't do it.
What will the Republicans do?
Your guess is as good as mine, but I hope they don't shy away from that.
This Hussein business, that could backfire.
I mean, it's so charged that it's almost one of those things could arouse sympathy for Obama.
But regardless, I can't believe it.
Somebody's name is off limits.
I just can't believe it.
Nobel Peace Prize, too.
And Nobel Peace Prize nominee...
Didn't win that one.
Lost it to Al Gore, but they can never take that nomination away from me.
And I am Rush Limbaugh, your highly trained broadcast specialist.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Mark Shepard at The American Thinker.
We had the story yesterday that the New York Times ran about people being worried about Obama and his safety.
And I frankly think the Obama campaign put that stuff out.
I think it's brilliant.
Obama campaign even took the exact JFK motorcade route through Dealey Plaza in the Texas school book depository last week on a campaign rally in Dallas.
And reportedly, people in the Obama motorcade were looking out the windows of their cars up at the sixth floor window, gawking at it and so forth.
I bet they were.
You're going to take us where, Obama?
We're going to go on what route?
Well, anyway, Mark Shepard in The American Thinker has an intriguing, compelling, provocative story today.
Black Hillary supporters may be receiving death threats.
There's mounting evidence that at least some of Obama's faithful intend to see a black American president sworn in next year, no matter what it takes.
Earlier this month, popular black author and talk show host Tavis Smiley disclosed death threats he'd received from those accusing him of blasphemy against Obama, their black prophet.
Then at Saturday's Smiley-hosted State of the Black Union Forum, Congressional Black caucus member Stephanie Tubbs Jones lent credence to Smiley's claim by suggesting that many black elected officials not swearing allegiance to Obama have also been the target of violent threats.
Now, this has been widely ignored by the drive-by media.
The implications here are nothing short of momentous.
The very prospect of physical intimidation as a means of garnering political compliance from Americans awakens frightening images of thuggish antics of boss Tweed in the mid-19th century New York.
Didn't Chris Matthews call me Boss Tweed?
He did.
Anyway, having survived the 2000 election debacle without even the threat of bloodshed, would some now have us back on the road to the inquitous days of Tammany Hall?
Not surprisingly, no one in the black community has come forward with specific complaints.
But then Shepard goes on to list what we do know.
And it basically is a list of people who claim to have been threatened with violence or their lives because they are not supporting Obama.
I think it's pretty brilliant to get this news story out there.
I have no clue whether this is true, but I mean, Tavis Smiley says he got a death threat, and so does Stephanie Tubbs-Jones.
And there are apparently more than that.
Emmy in Loveland, Colorado, I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
I can't believe I'm talking to you.
I just adore you.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
I've been wondering, as it gets closer to looking like Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee, do you think the Clintons are going to resort to sabotage against Brock?
Oh, I hope so.
You know, I really had the cigar in my mouth.
It's very rude.
I apologize.
I've speculated all along.
You know how badly she wants this.
All of these last 35 years with Clinton have been oriented toward this.
I mean, there was an implicit deal.
It's a business arrangement, whatever else it is, marriage or what have you, and she kept his hopes alive.
She kept his governorship alive.
She kept his presidential aspiration.
It kept his presidency alive.
That cost something.
Yeah.
This is her turn.
She's earned this.
She gave up all of her life for this to play second fiddle to some hick from Arkansas.
And now to have it see it slipping away to a rookie.
Yeah.
They're going to be really.
Yeah, you still got the super delegates you can play games with, and you still, the delegate math doesn't look good.
I have to admit, but there's also the Florida and Michigan delegations.
But even with those, you know, these are, they're not winner-take-all states.
I don't think, I don't think both of them are.
And it may not be enough depending on what the delegate is.
He's what, 153 delegates ahead right now?
Something like that.
Yeah, depending on who's counting.
In order to do this legitimately, Emmy, she's going to have to run the table here, and that's going to be very, very difficult today.
And even if to do it, you know, these are not winner-take-all states in Texas and Ohio.
The Democrats divvy these things up.
And Texas is really weird in that regard on the Democrat side because they also weight minorities in the amount of number of delegates they get in districts, not so much by total vote count.
It's the strangest damn setup.
But all it leads to, it points to that there's plenty of opportunity here for sabotage.
Let me ask you, Emmy, you know these people.
Yeah.
You follow them.
Do you see them just going away quietly in the night, graciously in defeat?
No.
No.
And I'm picturing the day after Denver, you know, and Brock's the nominee, they are going to be so mad.
I mean.
Oh, it ain't going to get to that point.
Oh, it won't.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
They can't sabotage him after that.
They can't?
No.
How do they sabotage him after he's a nominee?
They got to stop him from getting the nomination.
Well, I'm thinking they'd rather see McCain get the presidency after, you know, if Brock beats them.
What, and maybe Hillary come back in 2012?
Possibly.
Well, I'm sure that Hillary's ambition is double or triple the average Americans.
And I'm sure that her level of entitlement to this is very strong and high, too.
But if she gets smoked here, I don't know how they do this because the next four years, they are not going to matter.
He is going to be irrelevant.
Having he is finished because whoever wins the Democrat nomination will run the party.
Yeah.
And even if Obama loses, the Clintons, they might, I guess they'll try to take over the party.
I just, I don't, I don't see her with the desire to wait four years and start this all over again because you got to start three years out.
Right.
Here's what I see happening.
This is, if I were Hillary, this is what I would be doing behind the scenes.
I would go out and get an insurance policy against losing this even after my attempts at sabotage.
If my attempts at sabotaging the Obama nomination fail, and I make sure those efforts don't have my fingerprints, I try to maneuver myself as the vice presidential nominee on his ticket.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
And then from there, from the vice presidency, she could undermine his administration every day and eventually lead the impeachment proceedings against him.
Oh.
So there is, I misspoke.
There is an opportunity for sabotage if Obama gets a nomination.
She's got to be on the ticket.
He may even be able to do this in the Senate.
I know he's not stupid enough to put her on the table.
You never know if it takes that to unite the party.
You don't know how far this is going to go down the road.
He may need to do it to hold on to certain segments of, like we heard yesterday, the South Florida Jewish voters have no intention of voting Obama, but if Hillary's on the ticket.
Hispanics, we don't think a whole lot of Hispanics are going to vote Obama.
So she might be of some value.
The options are pretty open for the Clintons, but I just don't see them coming back strong four years after.
I'm sure, yes, Mr. Snurdy, there are plenty of white women out there in the Democrat Party that Barack could choose from besides Hillary.
We'll just have to wait.
I'm just speculating here.
But I just think that if she was able to finagle her way in as vice president, she could undermine him from there.
So that would be one element of sabotage.
But I'm hoping they do.
I want the Clintons to be the Clintons.
These are not the Clintons.
These are not the Clintons I know, Emmy.
These people, I mean, they're acting like they're novices and they've never done this before.
I know politics may have passed them by.
We're in a different era.
And their way of doing things obviously hasn't worked.
But I think it boils down to the reason the way hasn't worked is because they don't have anything on Obama.
If they had anything on Obama, they would have used it before Super Tuesday.
And she's kind of hamstrung because she can't call him out on policy differences because they're identical.
They're not, and she's tried the inexperienced business.
That's not working.
She tried plagiarism.
That isn't working.
What else is she?
Oh, she tried the bin Laden picture.
That backfired.
The Clintons are not used to having things backfired.
Now the press is abandoning them in droves.
Have you noticed this?
The press has, I mean, there are stories in my stack here of.
There's a great one.
I think it's from Mike Allen at Political.
I'm not sure.
Somebody.
On a conference call with Howard Wolfson and Bill Singer.
And these two guys from the Clinton campaign were just berating the press left and right.
Tucker Carlson's talked about it.
Chatsworth Osborne Jr. over at DNC TV.
The press is no longer enamored.
The press used to cover for these people.
The press used to marvel at the way the Clintons lied, at the way they positioned things.
They're not marveling at it.
They're calling them on it.
So they're facing a roadmap they've not seen before.
They think that they've always had acrimonious relations with the press.
And that's just absurd.
The press helped them survive all during the 90s and helped Clinton get elected and so forth.
I mean, they may have had their moments where the press was a little critical, but we're crying out loud.
For these people to think the press has always been against them, they're not living in any kind of reality.
So I think they're head spinning.
I don't think they know which way is up now.
They cannot believe that every tactic they've tried has backfired and they don't know what to do next.
And so that's where the sabotage comes into play.
Speaking of vice presidential nominees, a new name has surfaced on the Republican side.
She is Sarah Palin.
I hope I'm pronouncing that right, P-A-L-I-N.
She was born as Sarah Louise Heath in 1964 in Sandpoint, Idaho.
She's the governor of Alaska.
She is the youngest governor in Alaskan history.
She was 42 upon taking office.
She's also the first woman to hold the office in Alaska.
In addition to being Alaska's youngest governor, she is also the first who was born after Alaska achieved statehood.
The first to be inaugurated, not be inaugurated in Juneau, instead choosing to hold her inauguration ceremony in Fairbanks.
She took office on Monday, December 4th, 2006.
Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell Palin is the former mayor of Wassala, Alaska.
Her husband, Todd, works on the North Slope, is a commercial fisherman.
She has four children, Bristol, Piper, Track, and Willow.
Yeah, kids have strange names, but off record, off limits.
Names of the kids, Bristol, Piper, Track, and Willow.
And she's a babe.
She's a babe.
I mean, you've got to say it.
She's a babe.
So her name has surfaced high up on the list now, potential vice presidents for Senator McCain.
I have a question about this business that we can't use Barack Hussein Obama, or that if somebody in McCain's camp does, McCain's going to apologize for it and get rid of this disparaging term.
If Obama is given a free pass because of his father's heritage, you know, one generation removed, I mean, if he's given a pass for that, then a question, are all white Americans going to continue to be held responsible for their alleged racist forebearers, multiple generations removed?
Of course.
Why ask?
It's a stupid question.
Of course they are.
But you could say, okay, Obama, you don't want the name Hussein Hughes.
We'll give you a pass if black America gives all of us a pass.
I mean, isn't that the primary reason that a lot of white Americans want Barack Obama is because Barack Obama offers absolution for sins that they aren't even responsible for?
Well, that's the whole Magic Negro concept that white people vote for him not knowing what he stands for, don't care what he stands for because it makes them feel like they're getting rid of their racial sins.
You know, discrimination and racism they never even committed.
So it's this classic example, by the way, you know, I said anybody thinks somebody called here and asked if Obama is actually elected president, is it going to end racism in America?
It's going to get even better.
It's going to expand.
The race business will become more heated than ever before.
You wait, folks.
I know what I'm talking about here.
You know that and I know that.
This is Mike in Diamond Bar, California.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the show.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
I heard your show yesterday, and I started screaming in the car when you were talking about the inflation and price on food due to E85 and the biodiesel fuels and things like that.
Yeah.
I sell products to change stores, and I can tell you, like the block market, which is based out of Chicago, in 1906, 224, because this price comes out every week.
The block price on cheese was $1.15 a pound.
Today, that same cheese, that block price, is $2.06 a pound.
When was it $1.15 a pound?
Okay, it was $1.15 on $224.06.
Okay.
Okay, on two years ago.
One year ago, which was $222.08, it was, pardon me, $223.07.
It was $1.34.
It had already started going up.
And then by 2208, which was just last week, it went up to the 206.
Well, yeah, but I mean, food prices always go up.
I mean, what is it?
Yeah, but rice, that's an 80% increase in just the raw product.
Now, you got to, on top of that, your price is in whatever type of cheese.
So that's the very raw product.
Yeah, yeah.
Then you've got to process it.
Then you've got to package it.
Then you've got to transport it.
Then you've got to refrigerate it.
Yeah, all of that.
Okay, so it went from a retail in 206 of around $1.49 to $1.89 to this year, a price of a block of cheese, one pound of cheese, runs you $399 on sale to $4.99, more than double.
And it's the same in anything to do with lunch meat, where you used to get $1.49, $2 for $3 for packages of lunch meat.
