Sean Received an Ad for Bundled Television, Phone, and Internet

question 86

True/False

Sean received an ad for bundled television, phone, and Internet service that cost substantially more than he is currently paying. At the same time, he received a notice from his utility company that summer rates would be increasing. His textbooks are costing twice as much as they did last year, and yesterday, gas cost 30 cents more per gallon than it did last week. He can't help but marvel at how prices are rising when so many people have lost their jobs and are cutting back on expenditures. He is certain that this situation is an example of stagflation.
