Corruption from Democrats surrounding Fannie Mae etc. are what have killed our economy. It appears to have been a looting of the treasury by Socialists. Same as always happens when they want to come to power in a nation.
I am very suspicious that a whole lot of the financial mess that our country is in has been engineered to coincide with the last election and get the Dems in the White House. Nevertheless, my husband and I grow a garden almost every year.
I just like having fresh vegetables and food to can. It’s not really any cheaper if at all, but, being self-sufficient and learning more every year is very valuable to me.
