They said “Russia, Russia, Russia” 100 times for every one “Russia” by anyone else.
Donna Brazille is on TV talking about the economy “Roaring Back” and I’m in a grocery store nearly every day and the two just don’t jive. One of them (multiple stores, mind you) is LYING.
I have a dump truck and small tractor with a backhoe. I bought them (truck used) when I retired 5 yrs ago with the thoughts of starting a business that never got off the ground. So I use them to help family.
I dug my daughters septic tank out 2 days ago and in return she gave me diesel. The last time I hauled some remodeling trash to the dump she paid me about 40 dollars and it gave me close to a full tank from 1/4. This time they gave me 60 dollars and it was right at 1/2 tank and also went to almost full.
So 1 year ago 40 dollars was worth about 3/4 of a tank of diesel for my Truck. In one year 60 dollars is now equal to about 1/2 a tank.
THAT my friends is inflation.
It takes considerable skill to say inflation 6 times in a row. Try it...........................
