People in red states are in trouble. That is the message.
That was my takeaway, too. Propaganda from a financial site?
Well, most likely. Today’s headline is how AWESOME the ‘Brandonconomy’ is...though that’ll be reversed by the weekend. On page 36. Microscopic print. Uunder the fold. As always.
My budget has taken a hit due to higher prices on everything. High quality dog food is up $3/50# bag - and that adds up when you buy a PALLET of dog food at a time. $900 this last order; we raise hunting dogs for fun and little profit.
Groceries? Same. Our propane bill DOUBLED. Gas prices by us fluctuate wildly for some reason, so we try to fill up at the same station, same day each week to ‘dollar cost average’ out that expense. So far, taxes aren’t up as much as would be expected, but most of our land is in production and pasture which is taxed less than the house, the barn and outbuildings.
Doesn’t feel much like WINNING to me. But you know, I’ll NEVER be as ‘smart’ as the dumbest Socialist Democrat. At least that’s what they keep telling me. *SMIRK*
Plan accordingly for you and yours, and keep your powder dry. That’s all I’ve got. :(
