Many of my coworkers drive more than 30 miles to get to work, not untypical in southern California. Gasoline costs are killing their budgets. It’s not journalistic hype out here.

Not only that the federal government is in debt to the tune of $9.5 trillion, the US consumer is tapped out with their credit cards, personal savings is at an all-time low, The US averages $400 billion in trade deficits per quarter, food is 3 times the cost it was 5 years ago (that's a 300% increase, fuel is twice as expensive as the price pre-Katrina, and now the central banks are wanting the taxpayer to pay for worthless paper as a large group of bankers and big-player investors sit laughing on top of hundreds of billions of scammed loot.

OK, so, just how are we to spend ourselves out of this mess with hyper-stagflation in place and gaining momentum? Just ask those in Kalifornika and the debt the state is running.....looks like all the college education in the world can't provide common sense, integrity and conservative fiscal policy.
