And, take a hard look at your vote. Not everyone in Washington is far left..It is time to ferret out those with Communist leanings..At least do not vote for them in the next election. Do your own research and find the most truthful media outlets to get information from. I would avoid the major networks..NBC, ABC, and CBS, plus CNN and MSNBC. Although I do not agree with everything I get from FOX, they are by far the most accurate at reporting on what actually is happening to us day in and day out. The others do not report on major events important to most Americans. The 4th of July is just around the corner. I will be going to see Dinesh d’Souza’s film, America, Imagine a World Without Her. He is being persecuted right now by our current government and everyone knows it is because he is educating us about our nation through these films. The central core involved in the fall of great nations is economic, but preceding such an economy as we have is moral and political corruption. It is time to try in every way to educate those among who know nothing about the different forms of government and the consequences of each to the people they serve.

We have seen an big up tick in grocery bills. Our church does a food pantry, and it has a much larger client list than it did 3 yrs ago. We are in a flood plain recovering area. Madrid Fault line, Tornado alley to boot. Which means all those insurances went UP.

If it is not on sale, doesn’t have a coupon, no fuel points, unless it is a dire necessity it is skipped. More store brands. Looking in the freezer at the Commissary from frozen meats marked down. As that is the biggest food expense. Next to $4 box of cereal or $2.50 half gallon of milk, Margarine mow cost as much as butter, and TP. Charities have been cut off, with the Exception of my monthly donation to FR. Even zip lock bags that do not contain meat get washed and reused until they wear out.

On target with stock up, but remember to rotate so they don’t go out of date. Margarine bowels are excellent left over containers for soup to freeze if you make a big pot.

The same is true in the public sector, SORT OF.

Public sector employees in Ohio loudly and continuously complain about lack of getting raises, because they get no raises except for the automatic ones tied to inflation.

The Public sector employees say these raises are not really raises since they simply make up for inflation.
