Lozano's Car Wash Coupons - 33% Inflation Over 2016

Here are the latest coupons for Lozano's Car in Mountain View CA. 

This coupon, found on the back of my Safeway receipt, is good through 12/31/17. 

 These higher priced coupons are good through January 31, 2018. Note that their blue "Tuesday Only" price is up $6 or 33.4% over last year at this time!

The various coupon prices are $2 higher than the mid 2017 price that expires in a few days.

This $2 jump matches the $2 per hour jump in Mountain View's minimum wage.

Note that inflation has soared for many reasons including the cost of ACA/Obamacare, soaring Mountain View minimum wages and the high cost of living here means businesses have to pay more to keep good workers.

This car wash is located at the corner of Palo Alto, Los Altos and Mountain View California.

This coupon from last year at this time with an 10/31/16 expiration date is $17.99.  Thus $6 inflation in 12 months or $6/$19.99*100%=33.4% inflation!

It is hard to believe we could get our cars washed for $12.99 just four years ago.  I guess that explains why I wash my two autos myself more often than in the past! 

High inflation but still low CD rates

US FY 2017 Deficit - Summary of Receipts, Outlays & Deficit by Month Compared to 2016

This table shows a summary of receipts, outlays, and the deficit (and some months surplus) for the U.S. Government by Month. 

Roughly 16.7¢ of every dollar spent in FY 2017 was new debt!

So, does this table say our budget deficit issues are improving or getting worse?

Trump won the election in November 2016 but didn't have control of the budget until the January 20th Inauguration. Odd, why the huge slash in Y/Y spending during the first 3 months of FY17?
