Life is hard?!

How unfair!

What we really need is the Government to come in and make life easy!

Why the barf alert? Like it or not, what’s portrayed in the article is true.

To sum it up:

REPUBLICANS ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Middle class, poor, women, minorities hardest hit

(how’d I do?)

He said the last time he saw this was 2000-2001, when the dot-com bubble burst and the economy went into a recession after massive layoffs.

2000-2001. Gee, wasn't that that at the end of the Clinton Era and before Bush took full control?

LMAO!!!
Yes, Democrat presidential politics is in the air, and the AP and the rest of that socialist “mainstream” newsroom ilk are just getting warmed up.

>> And 7-Eleven says its grocery sales have jumped... Shoppers can’t afford to load up at the supermarket and are going to the most convenient places

Right.

My dollar isn’t going so far, so I’m going to “stretch” it by shopping at the high-priced place instead of the cheap place.

Okay festus, I’m with you now; I’m laughing out loud!

What used to last four days might last half that long now. Pay the gas bill, but skip breakfast. Eat less for lunch so the kids can have a healthy dinner.

I wonder if these vacuous twits take a class in J school to learn to lie like this. Try cancelling cell phones/cable tv/internet/ and ride the bus for starters. Simple f*ers. Make me wanna puke.

Her husband's check from his job at a grocery store used to last four days. "Now, it lasts only two," she said.

[snip]

The average family of four is spending anywhere from $7 to $10 extra a week — $40 more a month — on groceries alone

I'm guessing his paycheck is about $10.

I guess the old “homeless” canard has become too cliched even for an AP scumbag like Anne D’Innocenzio. So let’s try to convince the middle class that they’re miserable. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

The only thing to do now is to raise taxes! Put the middle incomer in the poverty level. yeah, that’s the ticket!

Go to DiTech and get a $600K home loan for $1,000/month, then skip the credit card payments.

Pay the driver's license fee but skip applying for a green card.

It's rough out there. ;)

The economy is good if you don't live where they tax you to death!!

Big government that wants to 'help' you is the very same one that taxes you to death so that you think you need their help!

There is an answer to this problem...VOTE for small government candidates.

Most of the lard asses I see can afford to cut back a little bit—and that includes their obese (yet “hungry”) offspring. Of course, instead of shopping for nutritious food, they will shop for the cheap crap at the Dollar store. Of course, they will still find a way to buy lottery tickets and cigarettes at $7 a pack (thanks to Liberals).

Remember, according to Jane Fonda: “Poor people are poor because nuclear power plants are polluting the air.”

I called the local Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse this afternoon to see if I could get a reservation for a table of four, they had nothing before 9:30 PM either tonight or tomorrow. Maybe these economic geniuses at AP could explain this phenomenon.

“While economists debate whether the country is headed for a recession, some say the financial stress is already the worst since the last downturn at the start of this decade.”

This author needs a history lesson on “tough times.” Check back to the Carter years. Yeesh!
