Agreed. The value of a dollar has nose-dived. For those at the very high end and very low end of the income spectrum on government support, this is of little consequence. Those of us in the middle pay the freight, and are hit the hardest. I’ve mentioned here before, but my monthly expenses have increased roughly $1,800 in the past four years, with zero changes in lifestyle. Insurance, food, utilities, gas, and everything else skyrocketed. That money used to be my ‘fun’ money for eating out, travel, gifts, etc. Don’t do much of that these days, and it’s hard not to be pissed about it. Worked my ass off all of my life, hoping to enjoy the fruits of my labor at some point, but that just isn’t in the cards any longer. Alot of folks are in the exact same boat.

If you complain then well off Freepers call you a socialist crybaby.
