Yes. I have a huge bag of rice I bought a long time ago and I keep it in the freezer. I dip into it regularly. I bought more lentils and beans just today. They are more expensive than they used to be but they are still cheaper than what’s being described in the original post. My point is, this fellow’s attitude of “Oh, I’m not going to cut back on my usual lifestyle in any way” bothers me. It displays a complete lack of concern about the state of our country, the future, the increasing burden on the tax-payer, the possibility that this money will not be flowing into his pockets forever... there’s no indication that he understands that this is indeed the time to cut back, to be frugal, to live simply and make this money last. He seems to feel that this is not something to worry about. That’s what’s garnering the reactions you’re seeing on this thread.
