New Yorkers are still feeling the pinch thanks to inflation — as experts just revealed Americans are forking over $709 more per month on common goods than they did just two years ago.

Some are scrimping by shopping only when the sales come around — while others, like Yvonne Lindesay have been forced to eat less healthy to contend with rising food costs.

“Everything is high as hell,” Lindesay, 67, said Monday.

Here’s how other New Yorkers feel about having to tighten their purse strings:

Am I supposed to care?

Just don’t come to Texas, please!

We have enough of the California, New York, Illinois stupidity as it is.

They’re like locusts. Destroy some place and then move onto destroy the next place. People forget, California is where regan was governor. It once was a nice state with the nations best public schools etc. Then the locusts settled there in the 60-70s.

I can't seem to work up much (ANY) sympathy, after all they voted for the crooked SOB that brags about "Bidenomics", and this is the result.

New York! New York! It's a helluva town!
The costs explode, but life's quality's down!
The Democrats rule, but each is a clown!
New York! New York! It's a helluva town!

Folks, if you want to live, then don't elect demoncraps.

And if you don't want to live, well, then just take yourself out, don't drag everybody else down with your demoncrap voting habit.

It’s what they want. It’s what they keep voting for. But you know, they get to have the warm satisfaction of telling themselves they are the compassionate ones who are not racist — while they sleep in their cardboard box. And they can take self-indulgent pride in claiming they’re not MAGA. That is, of course, assuming they don’t get mugged, raped, or knifed before the morning.

Aahh, liberals.

This will not change their votes. They’ll blame it on anything except liberal Democrat policies.

It’s only going to get worse bozos. You’ve got to pay off the student loans for 900,000 college student deadbeats and then you’re on the hook to pay “reparations” for millions and millions of Africans. Then we start paying “Climate Change justice” to the rest of the third world, hut-dwelling, freeloader deadbeats. Don’t expect much prosperity in America for a couple generations if at all. The freeloader generations have hit America.

The kindest thing you can say about today’s Democrats is that they kill the golden goose. Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, etc. - all once great cities.

Then the “progressives” took over. Their feel-good policies worked, until they didn’t.
Now the goose dead. Very dead. No more goose. No more gold.

Indeed. That was a funny skit. Is it perverse to think the NYC "skit" might be even funnier?
