Usually my husband buys the milk around here (don’t ask me why, it just happens that way) so I about freaked out a couple weeks ago when a gallon of the store brand was $3.79. But that freak out was nothing compared to my sticker shock on Monday when it was $4.69 and the “name” brand was $5.79 s gallon.
While there today I asked several of the tenants if they noticed any difference in pricing at the markets where they trade.
Every one complained about the price of gas for work cars and that prices seemed to be jumping substantially.
It looks like to me that not in the to distant future there will be a whole lot of angry people.
For people living on Social Security and especially this young man who lives with Grand Parents on Social Security things are getting very rough.
So far the Democrats in congress have been oblivious to the possibility that many thousands of low income Americans are really getting squeezed.
More taxes just will not cut it for these people.
