So where does it end?
« Reply #-1 on: May 03, 2014, 02:13:12 PM »
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS POLITICAL.  JUST NEED TO VENT. I HAVE A GENUINE CONCERN.   :o

I think the US has slipped into an alternate reality.  The math just doesn't work anymore.   :( ???

I go to the store for food, everything is insane.  Saw tenderloin for $37.99 a pound. 

Go to the gas station, another $65 bucks.  I get a cold sweat when the gas/electric bill arrives in the winter. 

My oldest is going to college this year.  Best we can do for tuition is $18 grand a year. Home owners insurance is crazy expensive, and I have never made a claim in my life. The only thing that is remotely "affordable" is my mortgage, as I locked in at 4%.

Property taxes, income taxes, $250 for little stickers on my license plate so I can drive my car another year, sales tax, $6 for a Gatorade and $7.50 for cotton candy at the Twins game last night for my son.

The math just doesn't work anymore......end of venting  :'(

I feel your pain. We all do Pappy.

The more the government keeps printing money the less our dollar is worth. And currently that printer is working overtime.

I have the same genuine concerns, especially after getting our homeowner's insurance bill this week ( ??? YIKES ).

HOWEVER...

It's nearly impossible to discuss this without being political, and already a couple of comments have crept in that at the very least could be viewed as being political.

Sorry guys, hate to be the bad guy, but I am locking this one!
