Shop at Walmart, and buy generic brands.
Yup, it's the new American economy, buy cheap foreign crap and eat crap food, and maybe, just maybe you can continue to make ends meet while the Fed keeps telling you you're richer then you ever were. Suuuure.
I've an idea for the fed, stop printing debt. And an idea for those so called republicans I helped elect, stop driving us into debt, stop giving away our jobs with open borders and no penalties on tech transfers. I hated the Cold War, but at least during the Cold War tech transfer was all but illegal and somehow we didn't go broke without free trade, go figure.
