Have you ever seen prices on goods drop once raised? I haven’t. Ditto the taxes. How long will it be before that 999 is increased to 202020? These are spendaholic politicians. Do you actually trust them? I don’t.

Secondly, it is a way to continue to tax the Boomers who already have been taxed to death virtually all their working lives. They are the longest, highest taxed generation in history.

Maybe it’s because I’m a woman and I’ve done 100% of the shopping for my family for two decades, but prices do fluctuate.

I’ve seen the price of chicken skyrocket up to $1.89 a pound, then dive down to $0.69 a pound within a six month period. I’ve seen coffee go up and down. In 1987, the price of a name-brand pair of jeans was $50. Today? $50.

The price of electronics are known so well for dropping, that it’s normal to wait a year or three after new technology for everyone to jump on board.

Last year I spent $6.00 on OP brand white t-shirts at walmart. The night before last I spent $4.88 on the same t-shirts.

I pay a flat-rate of $50 a month for my cell phone, unlimited calling and text. That was impossible just four years ago.

I remember when we thought we’d never see gas drop below a dollar a gallon again (it had been years), then it did. And it stayed there for many months.

Yes. Prices go up and down. Markets fluctuate. The law of supply and demand does work.
