Well, the way they are setting things up, we will be forced to spend whether we like it or not, when inflation causes prices to rise, our savings become worth less and we are forced to spend more to live.

It’ pretty darn diabolical, spend it, or watch it become worthless, if one is old enough, we can recall a gallon of gas costing 98 cents, now it is 1.89 at least, meaning no matter how hard you try, life is going to cost more under Obama.

“if one is old enough, we can recall a gallon of gas costing 98 cents”

That’s extremely high!

I was paying 13.9 cents/gal. for ethyl when I was in high school.

Even in 1974 until the crunch it was only 26.9 cents/gal.
