the funniest thing ever is that they don’t include “food or energy” in “core inflation” rate. where do i need to move to that i can avoid food & energy costs? let’s be honest, as long as social security & gov’t pensions are tied to the inflation rate, they are not going to let it go to a real number.

but let’s not let the almighty “stock market” find it’s own level…to hell with the value of the dollar, to hell with inflation, to hell with the average family…to hell with everything else…just do whatever you can to prop up the over-valued stock market…and keep thos $20 Million/year + CEO’s happy!

the deficit is at record numbers (what is next after the “we’ll never be able to pay this off” level we had before the Iraq war?). I wonder if this is how it was in the early days of the fall of Rome?
