Does you dollar buy as much as it did 18 months ago ? Be truthful

US national debt has reached record highs.

Borrowing money gives a short term boost to our national economy, but it's a bad deal in the long run because we will need to pay the interest.

Electricity is more expensive now, but it has not gone up as much as gas.

need COLA adjustment on their tax cuts ???

Corporations and the Wealthy provide jobs and wealth creation for the masses.

Welfare bums provide NOTHING.

Is that what your faulty reasoning surmises?

There's no direct connection between DOW and inflation.

But it's OK if you want to believe that.

You aren't known as a recognized economist. Just a watcher of gas prices down at the local market in your rural town.

Not near.

But then again, the three items I use as my gauge
have gone from $.25 a pie to $.94 a pie, from $.50
a quart to $2.94 a quart, and $1.99(9/10) a gallon
to $4.48(9/10) a gallon.

Never could understand how OIL was selling the
customer on the idea they are saving anything
paying only nine 10th of that cent per gallon…

It’s my understanding that real estate n book sales
have done quite well also, as they have in the past,
for the investor with cash…

Reminds me of that song:
Proud to be an American
stuck in the middle class

The price of drugs went up too

The government is giving addicted drug addicts one hit a day to help with their withdrawals.

So sad, so very sad.

Used to be a bad word that I often heard
from these people running for office n fame.
The world is not the same as it was when I
was a young lad and aware of the game -

Hate to be the one that has to say the musicians
and their lifestyle led the way for many of the
youth to go astray, but it does seem there was
something to the sound…

They have to cover the costs of advertising and promoting their poisons...

When watching TV, one might assume that the entire world has one malady or another that needs their 'cures'.
