And what’s up with the Kardashians? You think they’ll have another baby?

Here’s a look at the economy from a mom’s perspective: When my son was born in September 2008, a box of generic Walmart dipes was $12.89 while a box of Pampers was $19.99. My daughter was born in August 2011 and a box of generic Walmart dipes was $14.99 while the Pampers were $23.99. Our second daughter will arrive any day now and generic Walmart dipes are $19.99. I don’t know what Pampers are, although looking at the price might send me into labor. We’re in the middle of an addition and remodel and we found some stuff packed away in dipe boxes from 2008. There were more dipes per box than in today’s box. Price up, quantity down in five short years. Wipes are about the same price, but the quantity has been cut in half.

The whole point of Obama has been to destroy the last superpower.

This means economically and industrially.

It also means destroying the middle class, where the heart of the country is - the people that actually get things done. Make things. Move things. Build things. Service things. Repair things. Keep things moving.

The middle class is the class that can prevent the destruction of the country, because together they have NUMBERS and enough combined power to force physical change, if necessary. Once all that’s left is a 1-5% elite class, a 5-10% protector class, and a 85% poor class (inner party/outer party) system, even though they are vastly numbered, they don’t have power and means to overturn the well armed, well-fed and taken care of protector class and elites.

That’s what Obama’s doing.

I’ve noticed the same trend. When I started the “surviving socialism” ping list some years back, it was somewhat tongue in cheek. It isn’t tongue in cheek anymore.

In my earlier days this kind of performance would have had a POTUS kicked to the curb by a landslide after his first term.

Problem now is that the scales of society have severely tilted from a success based populus to one in love with entitlements. When you add Minorites (20%) + Moonbat liberals (15%) + Labor (5%) + Moderate Low info, Low IQ voters (10%), you may have perpetual success for the socialist party (dim) in this country.

It will be a scary day of reckoning when those living of the left hind teat of the tax payer finally loses it after the tax payers revolt.

While I understand that and I can still afford disposable, the point of the post was that we see the economy tanking every day. The next time your at the store take a look at the ice-cream. A half-gallon is no longer a half-gallon. Check out the one pound container of coffee and then squint at the weight- it’s only 12 ounces now. Its the same with the Cream of Wheat my kids eat each morning. Take a bathroom break and check out how wide your roll of toilet paper is compared to the width of the toilet paper holder. The tp used to stretch end to end. Now it’s more costly for less product. I have a huge garden and can and freeze as much as I can. The cost of canning jars has skyrocketed because more people are getting back to that.

“The Great ObamaNation” promised that he was going to fundamentally change our nation. All this proves just how successful he has been.

Ahhh. A canner! So tell me, do you think it’s worth the time? Would you get a pressure cooker setup or just stick with the hot water bath? Who has the best deal on jars? I’m thinking about taking it up.

Thanks in advance. RD
