If you doubt it..

If you doubt that inflation is already here take a look at the prices in the grocery store. In all fairness gasoline is too volatile to use as a marker, but groceries are not. Everything is going up almost weekly in the stores.

Now. would you rather have a temporary recession in the finance market or an overall upward pressure on prices. First Recession effects those who put themselves on the edge of financial ruin. The over extended borrower was the first to feel it. Then industries began to cut back as the country had to wean itself off bad credit induced spending. That effected ten percent of the then working people.

Now who do you think is hurt by inflation. EVERYBODY... Like recession some more than others. If wages rose at the same rate as inflation, just us old guys on incomes that will never be able to keep pace with it would be in trouble. But you know what, most of us have our big expenses trimmed to almost nothing. Inflation hurts us sure, but we have probably as much disposable income as working people. Hell we can even eat cat food if we have to. We know how to survive. My feeling is for the guy with two car payments a house full of rug rats and whose job is low paying anyway. He just can't keep up with the rise in prices.

So America you traded a few jobs for huge inflation to come. Now that's change we CAN'T live with. And who is going to be hurt most? The working poor, the ones who carried the vote for Obama. Well good luck folks.


The unions and government who is indebted to the unions now owns most of Chrysler and soon will of GM. So tell me what are they going to cut if they hope to keep pace with the Chinese and Indian workers who make next to nothing compared to them. And even better the government will be appointing the executives. If you think they can't make a competitive car now. Just wait.

The good news is you can't fool all the people all the time.

I would like to see the GOP represent the WORKING poor a lot better than they have. Let the Democrats have the sick, the lame, and the lazy. What the Gop needs is the single mom who works at flipping burgers on our side. I consider them My people. We just need to speak to them and they will understand. So far we have done a terrible job at that. Somebody get out there and explain what is coming in a few months. Explain what their parents know, there is no free lunch.
