You can ‘fluff’ dry dog food with some cheap vodka...not the best flavor in the world, but you won’t care about what you’re eating as much...

Anything above 55 degrees is a luxury according to her.

Just put on another sweater.

Dear sweet baby cthulhu, we ARE back in the 70s.

I bet her family budget is higher than the national average. Hypocrite. She probably doesn’t eat bugs, either.

She is partially correct. They got the money from the gooberment in a transfer of wealth.

Eventually they will run out of OPM and just print it, that is the second and terrible stage of inflation, value destruction and we are well into that.

"Splurging?"

I splurged by leasing a new Altima with power seats so I wouldn't keep injuring my shoulder having to pump the seat in the Sentra I had.

Nonsense. We need to vote wisely, and never skip a vote.

How quaint, thinking we will EVER vote our way out of this.

On War Room today, after playing a clip of Yellen yammering, Bannon said he though she wasn’t so bad in her position. Then Steve Cortes came on and took Bannon to the woodshed. It was an interesting discussion.

I just got approached at Costco about upgrading our membership to the Executive level. I replied that our shopping habits are unchanged but everything costs more so it just looks like we’re buying more.

She is a vile creature. As Americans struggle under the burden of a criminal government its advocates curse the citizens for failing to give more to the ravenous government maw, 45K armed revenuers are coming after the people, guns blazing.

Vote? Until we can count the vote it is not our vote and it clearly does not count.
