I wish I could laugh but I cannot. I am very angry. My family is having to severely adjust their budget to cut back because our property taxes are going up significantly. The cost of insurance is more. We spent a lot on gas when it was 2.50 a gallon and now its 5.00 a gallon. The costs of food have risen significantly. Everything is costing more and my income is not growing.

We are cutting back on a lot of things and I am bitter because I know that our attempt to save where we can means other businesses will hurt more.

It’s a downward spiral. I don’t know how/why anyone would listen to (much less believe) anything they see in the media.

With the amount of public and consumer debt our nation has today we are in a far more dangerous situation than we were in the Carter era.
