Re: Americans' Hurt By Rising Prices, But Fed Not Worried About Inflation
Eileen Reilly, 72, a retired resident of the Chicago suburb of
Geneva, said higher gasoline and food prices have forced her to drive
less, buy a cheaper food for her dog Lucky, and stop taking pills for a
liver condition she declined to identify.
"My doctor said I could die if I don't take them," Reilly said,
rolling her eyes. "I told him that I'm 72 and I'll be dead soon as it
is. Besides, it was either the pills or the car and the dog. And I need
the car and I love the dog."
This is what it comes down to and they still want to cut services to needy Americans.

making the same amount of money and having to pay for health care," she
said.
