Do you realize that thanks to B.O. and his worthless Chairman of the Fed that twenty dollars from the year 2000 would buy you $24.57 worth of items today? That is almost twenty five percent. In other words, B.O.'s inflation is a tax that every man, woman and child has to pay. How's that make you feel?
It makes me angry, really really angry.
I don't want to hear that the economy is getting better. Any person who eats knows that that isn't true. When is the last time that you were in a grocery store? Have you taken a look at some of those "luxury" items like milk, beef and chicken? When I was little, we ate steak once in a while, and I can tell you- it was a big deal. Considering that my Mother waited tables to put every scrap of food on my plate- I would sometimes think about how many miles she had walked to get that steak to me.
She would be running a marathon twice if she tried to feed us steak these days. The other day, as I was casually perusing the meat aisle- I saw rib eyes for $8.99, on sale. I laughed and I laughed.
Who outside of politicians and bureaucrats can afford to eat steak now? I'm pretty happy when there is a sale- I stock up-but take a close look at your grocery bill the next time you have to go shopping. Milk, cheese, bread-it's all higher. Paper towels and toilet paper are at least 38% higher than they were two years ago. The same with all the other necessities that we have to have. I make my own laundry soap-but try making your own toilet paper. Not really possible, is it?
I looked further into the charts that list what twenty dollars would buy and I was disgusted. In 1974 it would have bought the same as one hundred dollars worth of goods. Let that sink in for a second. That is the same as a five hundred percent tax on every person who ever buys anything.
Printing money out of whole air is the problem. Look at the end of the Civil War. The Confederacy was doing the same thing and people had to take a wheelbarrow full of it to buy bread. I believe that we should take a closer look at the Chairman of the Fed and maybe even consider auditing it. It'll probably scare us half to death. There were many things I disliked about the Ron Paul candidacy, but his adherence to the Constitution and his desire to audit the Fed, those were things that I could have gotten behind in a flash.
As I listen to the constant blather about the need for gun control (to me that is hitting what you are aiming at) and the cowardly retail establishments that are suspending gun sales I shake my head.
We are out of money, broke, flat, busted. The Senate- lead by that spokesman for sedatives- Harry Reid has failed to meet one of their few Constitutional requirements for three years running , that is to say passing a budget. Where is the outrage from the media?
Instead, he is standing on the Senate floor telling outright lies, knowing he is protected from slander laws while he does it there. He also knows that the msm is still too enamored with their boy to bother reporting any pesky news stuff. Disgusting.
So keep counting down until 2014. Stockpile food, guns and ammunition. You'll thank me later.
