It’s not just Biden that gives us inflation. The GOP does a pretty good job themselves.

“It’s actually the easiest meal to cook once you settle into a routine. I can cook up a good breakfast in about 10 minutes.”

Yes, me, too. I’m very efficient at it. Heat a nonstick small frying pan at low. Crack three eggs into a bowl, toss in some parmesan or creme fraiche, and whisk together. Start the water for the coffee. Cut a large slice of sourdough in half and pop in the toaster. Start the eggs. Set up the coffee “pour-over” filter. Stir the eggs (and keep stirring). About 10 minutes is right.

Clean up takes maybe another 10 minutes, too. I hand-wash everything and put it away, wipe down the counter, and done.

On lazy days, it’s a bowl of cereal or some fresh cut fruit and a yogurt.

It’s amazing how fast you can be and the amount of money you can save.

I do miss the socializing at the coffee shop, though. I’m good friends with the owner and enjoy chatting with her. Plus, she has a delightful rear patio which is a wonderful leisurely spot when the warm weather arrives. I’ve cut that down to about twice a month now, down from twice a week.

What galls me is this was all unavoidable. When we invaded Iraq, our Debt/GDP ratio was 40%. Today it is 120%. The country is in a debt death spiral and there’s no money to build up our military. The ridiculous over-reaction to COVID ignited inflation.

“I’m afraid we ain’t seen nothing yet.”

Yep, I know what you mean. The nation is broke with utterly absurd levels of debt ($33 trillion, 120% of GDP), China is a serious threat to us and Taiwan, the idiot Dems are seriously talking about “reparations,” the welfare state is killing us and we invite millions more to come from Mexico (who all go on the dole). The days of the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency are about over and more and more countries are joining the BRICS nations. Europe is threatening to leave the US alliances. The US is getting squeezed into a very hot and lonely corner all by itself.

Inflation is killing us personally, but the big picture is very dire.
