What a Time We Live In

In these tough financial times, the plebeian masses can always turn to one singular form of salvation: the Dollar Value Menu. Where else but this latter-day horn of plenty can one gorge oneself for so little money. As recently as the mid 90's, a double cheeseburger from McDonald's would cost you upwards of $3. Now it is only a buck. Factoring in inflation, the savings are obscene. So while the price of everything seems to be going up while wages stagnate and the market crashes, find solace in an American classic... for just a dollar.
