Do you think Government policies are helping or hurting the situation? Why?
It is the governments that caused the inflation through their bad policies. They are the only ones that can also fix it by making good policies. The people they lead are powerless in changing that only the government can.
What strategies have you used to cope with rising price??
Some of my own effective strategies are Budgetting and growing some of my own foods, cutting down on travels that are not important.
