More and more people are born (population growth) and buying food every day, why aren't my costs decreasing?
show me ONE fucking thing that has DECREASED in price. Anything.

Canada... I lived, worked, paid taxes and used the Canadian Medical System - it was slick shit.
My BW bill is probably 10,000% cheaper today than it was 10 years ago. Not a single person in this forum that has been doing this for any number of years that hasn't seen a major decrease.
And my long distance is about $5k-$10k cheaper a month now. The same PC I have today is about $1000 less to build today than it was 3 years ago.
Some meds, etc are greatly cheaper today than 10 years ago. They normally get cheaper once they've made the investment back - and more and more are costing more to research, etc - thus costing us more, longer.
Your food costs go up for a large number of reasons... gas being one major reason. It costs less to mass produce food today, but it costs us more to get it to us than ever before.
