This is not some doom and gloom prediction. This is based on fact and if you make anywhere near this amount you understand what I am saying. What will happen when people can not afford to live?
Fast food joints raising prices is just a symptom of the greater disease that is inflation. And this disease can not be stopped it will infect all of us one way or the other.edit on 25-10-2013 by SubTruth because: (no reason given)

Don't even get me started on how expensive even Taco Bell is getting, and I'm fairly sure I have the worst one in the country. I never get what I order. Ever. I've resigned to simply throwing cash into the window and saying, "give me how much food this buys!"

To me, this is just one more reason to go to Steak N' Shake instead, nearly the same price, and it doesn't taste like I'm eating cancer.

Yeah, but the MCDs staff was paid less. Wage increases in them self can cause inflation, buisineses want to increase profit so you end up where you started in terms of purchasing power or maybe slightly better/worse off.
