9Government should step in and ease the tax rates and imports on essential food items,
Thats what happened last time, when government dont have enough revenue to run the economy they print money to keep the mechanism going. So better to run it this way, economy may slow down but we will survive.
Can you give some valid sources for the price data ? Because i know for certain that in some countries the percentage of increment is higher than shown here ?
