Unemployment at almost 4 year high 4.4 %

Posted by Lucky on September 5, 2025, 7:36 am

Gasoline went up another 10cents a gallon here yesterday that is almost 30 cents higher in 30 days.
Beef has doubled in cost in less than a year .

I virtually never buy beef.

I look for the large package of ground chuck when on sale - divide it, freeze it - make my own meatloaf, meatballs, etc.

I flipped out looking at the meat counter at Walmart - steaks, 50-75 bucks for three. At Walmart????? Nope, not interested.

Regular gas here up to 3:29 - use to be 3:05.

Every year - utilities, trash removal, property taxes, medical insurance premiums, cable, water, prices of products and services - all going up. Are we getting something in return for it? Nope, just the same old same old. Longer wait times to speak to a customer rep. Often times, problems are not solved with one call.

We pulled the plug on cable TV - just have internet. . . $80.00 per month with Spectrum. And what do they do? Nothing - the data is transmitted over cables. NatGrid the same - the natural gas and electricity are fed to us. Meters are remotely read. The bill is packed with 'fees' charged by NatGrid.

Are incomes going up every year? No.

That’s not much. And most of that figure are illegals.

As for food, how much do you weigh. A golden opportunity to go on a diet. Make America healthy again. You included.

I challenge ANYONE on capital hill

to come live on a normal budget for one month. They won't be bragging about prices coming down afterward.

Go ahead. Five years ago you made a decision. And it’s your fault.

Hopefully the ship of state can right itself from that damage.

to insert an off topic political dig

I’m not blind to the gargantuan price increases.

Our system is bankrupt. Printing money (debt) is forestalling something far worse……national and global economic collapse. But only for you and me. That minuscule gang of controllers simply raise prices. Nice work if you can get in on it. Not so for the top .05%. The system should have declared bankruptsy in 2008. There was a window for a reset. No longer. It’s all or nothing, with “nothing” the apparent winner according to top financial prognosticators. Thats why gold is going through the roof.

Biden put America back to work record economy but high inflation

Trump is going to put us in a depression instead of a recession I am afraid of. We can see people are getting layed off faster than the hiring going on
