Everything's been costing more because the Federal Government has been printing more money to introduce into the economy in an attempt to boost it/attempt to cycle out older, more easily counterfeited bills. High school economics: if you have more of something, its value goes down. The value of the dollar has been dropping over the past couple decades, so prices/wages have been changing to reflect that.

Like Mibs said, the current system needs to erased. Senators have been in office for decades, raking in money from lobbyists to keep personal agendas up. Congress holds almost as much power as the President (more so in some ways as they can fuck over a Presidential bill by stalling it to death or add their own retarded bullshit), but they don't have term limits? The 2 party system ideology fails, as it divides people instead of helps them. I align myself more with Democrats, as I feel the liberal minds understand what needs to be done to create progress, but I think the Democrats are cowards before the Republicans. The Republicans put more emphasis on religious nonsensical ideology, which in turn inhibits growth of sciences by creating an outlandish form of ethical control.
