Prices rise sharply 2 weeks after election (gas prices, gallon, wages, drugs)

[All American NYC]

In what some economists say is an omen of things to come, prices on various items such as prescription and over the counter drugs, and gasoline, have risen sharply just two weeks after the election.

"It really makes a person wonder," one pedestrian told the Examiner Sunday in Greenville, S.C., who commented on the hike in gas prices.....asoline wasn't the only thing that had consumers in a dither. Prescription drug prices for some generics had risen 78 percent in only two weeks.

As if the election of Mitt Romney would have magically solved all the country's problems.

I haven't noticed any thing going up. Gas has been going down not up. You can thank the democrats.

Yeah, gas where I live has dropped by quite a bit in the last 2 weeks...

But remember, Pres. Obama only gets blamed for the bad stuff, the good stuff that happens is out of his hands.

Gas in my area of Pa has stayed exactly the same at $3.59 a gallon since just before the election. It varies a few cents on the other side of town but we haven't seen any drop locally. Maybe its that we're relatively close to NJ? I know many were buying gas here and hauling it up to NJ and Long Island.

Actually you can thank the summer mixture ending it's season and the glut caused by gas not being able to ship into the hurricane affected area for a time.

I have seen it posted here numerous times that democrats are anti-business and too dumb and lazy to run a business.

It logically follows that all the right wing business owners are raising their prices.

So, predictably, you blame the Democrats. Typical. You guys always have to have someone else to blame for your shortcomings. Instead of whining you should educate yourself and get a better job, which is also the right wing cure when a Democrat complains about starvation wages.

What prices have risen? Gas is down to almost $3 a gallon now. The only prices I have seen that have gone up is fruits and that's seasanol influences.
