IF jobs are actually created (AND hired) then those families can probably handle increased prices.

But what about those who cannot? I am not in a position to get a factory job or an IT job, or a coal job, or a gas job. But I face higher prices.

I have begun spending several hours comparing shopping between three local stores to find the best prices. Remaining aware that many products are shrinking the amount of product without changing the price (watch your ounces!)

There are a lot of people still struggling, and it won't get better for many of them.

Balance... responsible action ... listening to economists...
