Because I don’t do the grocery shopping in the family, I’m stunned at the prices I see when I do go in on rare occasion. However, I want to know how it is that our local restaurants are still packed and how Sammy Hagar and Steve Martin & Martin Short easily sell out venues with tickets priced $300-$500. Somebody’s doing well out there and I can only surmise it’s our local Fed work force population.

You would be correct.

Used to be that government employees were low paying jobs, now it’s the exact opposite.

Government unions will be the death of our country..............

It’s the restaurants where I notice it. Dinner for two at a Mexican restaurant now runs about $60 and they thoughtfully add 3% if I use a credit card. Same meal cost half as much before Brandonomics hit.

I’m the same. We went to a discount grocer the other day. I was shocked at the discount prices. Can’t imagine the regular store

There be fools in the population, same ones that vote for Democrats. My wife's sister in Hawaii wants to fly to California with her husband to celebrate birthdays with us (both women have birthdays a week apart). They are broke, hardly any money to their name, and have to keep working in their senior years (late 60's). So they told us that they purchased baseball game tickets in a prime spot behind the home plate area for a Giants game.

I don't get the mentality of spending hundreds of dollars when you're broke. My wife and I are well off but avoid expensive entertainment, preferring low-cost things. And we're perfectly happy with it. Their daughter lives paycheck to paycheck but rents Mercedes convertible sports cars when she visits. She picked up her dad at the airport but could barely get his luggage into the 2-seater car. Why are Democrats so dumb?
