    Inflation is affecting me, many of my neighbors, family and friends. It's no secret costs are rising and the supply of materials and food is diminishing. Some prognosticators are predicting record holiday spending this season. Really???????
    Personally, my oil heating bill has doubled, food costs have risen 25% since 2020, and my electric bill is to increase 46%. How does the current admin. address the problem of inflation? They print more money.

    I just sit in my ivory tower, rattle my jewelry and tell the plebes to eat cake. Inflation? What inflation?

    Yes people will spend more money on fewer items. There is your record spending.

    The term you wanted is plebs. But then again being in an ivy tower is no substitute for an ivy league education. You can prolly feel that now. :)

    My wife boo-hoos every time she returns from the grocery store. Just yesterday she showed me a ten dollar box of eggs. Ah, but then again we are supposed to be having Chef Boyardee, aren't we?...... It has been just this side of devastating for business. We pre-bid commercial construction. I am bidding finish work on projects that haven't broken ground. Been doing it since the turn of the century and always build in a 5% escalator in my bids. Needless to say, the work I bid in 2020-2021 and performed in 2022 have most all been at a dead loss. Not a good way to succeed in business! But things are all just rosy as they can be according to the talking heads, aren't they? I am confident that my ship will be coming in any day now.

    The Democrats do not care about the people and only want to control the people. For they are controlled themselves and are just puppets on a string like the leftist media for they both have the same owners.
    Which is why both do all they can to get people to hate the Republican party as a whole and individuals who stand up for them. To hide and misdirected the facts.
    Biggest facts is food and rent inflation that in the long term will kill the lower middle class as an economic group.
