The democrats favorite saying is “We love it when a plan comes together”. Every thing, every unintended consequence, every misery that happens to your standard of living is ALL part of every democrat plan. Never forget that every person that votes for ANY democrat is your enemy. Period.

“It is ninety. Dollar oil ……”


I watched oil prices over the past few days rise...and rise....and continue to rise. People very seldom look at the prices of crude oil and are shocked when the price increases start showing up at the pump and then in other goods and services.

Increased oil prices are inflationary. Biden’s handlers are marching forward with their war on oil. Oil goes up. So does inflation.

the govt class however, is doing fine and dandy....getting regular paychecks with big raises, great bennies and a monster pension....they can call in sick and never get in trouble for it....some of them work very few actual hrs, like the teachers....

this is like commie Russia...the "party" people get everything....

well, there will be consequences...

Schroeder, who had little savings and was living month-to-month on Social Security,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And that, right there, is Schroeder’s problem. Social Security was never meant to ne anyone’s sole means of support but as a supplement to other income.

I’ve been retired for 24 years and if S.S. was my only income, I’d probably be homeless too.

“Boomers have had 50 years to prepare, unfortunately many are going to learn the consequences of not delaying gratification …”

Like what, a 401K? I remember when they rolled those out. I was working in a restaurant and the Boomer college students were chatting about it. Then Roth IRA came along. Compounding returns are great and one of the only hedges against inflation besides real estate. A savvy co-worker of mine keeps saying he wished he’d stuck all his spare money into an IRA in his 20s.

This was her other problem:

NAPLES, Fla.—Judy Schroeder was living a stable retirement in this affluent Florida enclave.

She's 71, living month-to-month on social security, has little savings, and is still working at a liquor store.

Why is she living in Naples?

So true.

It will get worse and soon.

For example, the emancipation of slavery was a great thing... but turning about 2 million people into US society without any plan for assimilating them or easing their move from slavery to citizenship, created most of the problems we see now.

Failure or refusal to assimilate is at the bottom of all problems any group has in a new country. It makes entry to the middle class and possible elevation out of poverty, so much more difficult.

Apply that 'lesson' to the current 11 million (they SAY) new arrivals to the US who have even less means/inclination to assimilate, and guess where that puts the already diminishing middle class?

I am glad I'll be dead when this time bomb goes off!!

As soon as a republican gets into office the left will start claiming the rich get richer while the poor get poorer.

Talk about missing the point about our future for the sake of some stupid data point.

The Left loves that kind of deflection. Keep your eye OFF the ball.
