Back To the Future

Waking up in the year 2020, I went to the local store to buy some much needed groceries, "what?" I said, a loaf of bread $10.00, and a gallon of milk $20.00, "holy cow!, can't even afford to buy a few staple sundries, is this some kind of joke and is someone trying to be funny?" I noticed a lot of the few people shopping who were also in a pinch, looking very thin and gaunt, their belts very cinched, went up to one and asked why food was so darn expensive, she just sadly looked back at me and said "after the past election, and just like Germany in the 1920's there is hardly any middle class left and now we have more socialism, the economic bubble finally burst, and we have hyperinflation!" Thought to myself, how'd this all happen, then remembered I was too busy watching reality shows to really pay any attention. Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value-zero.-Voltaire
