I did not see canceling your subscription to the WSJ and other legacy media on the list.
Of course, if you are on a fixed income you could always more overseas to a location where basic living expenses are much cheaper. Tucker Carlson was amazed to find that a basket of groceries that would cost close to $400 in the US cost only $104 at a Moscow grocery store:
Russia is not unique in its massively lower cost of living. Most places outside of the US and northwestern Europe are far cheaper. For example, here is a comparison between the US and Serbia.
There’s no proof big govt helps the people. The federal reserves has destroyed the value of the dollar over the last 100 years, and all high taxes do is allow the govt to have larger and larger deficits.
Yes, a pound of lentils is not the same as a pound of hamburger.
A basic problem is that the government has been cooking the books to make inflation look lower than it really is. Lower inflation rate means the inflation-adjusted (“real”) GDP appears to be bigger as well.
In 1980, US inflation rate was calculated based on the retail price of a market-basket of goods. Since then, the CPI has been changed to allow the substitution of lower-cost alternatives and to ignore the cost government-mandated changes. For example, in you can’t buy a car or appliance today that would meet 1980 safety and efficiency requirements. The cost of meeting the modern requirements is real, but they are not included in the inflation figures. Home-ownership costs are based on simulations not actual prices.
Remember Obama told us this is the new normal. That’s the Lib agenda, to slowly impoverish us and acclimate us to the same low standard of living as other Communist countries. To speed the process up, import millions of illegals to drain our resources, increase crime, take jobs and depress wages, drain savings and increase our credit card debt.
Meanwhile Lib elites grow wealthier and live in gated communities and guards in their workplaces. They aren’t affected by what they’re doing to everyone else, but they know their drones will stupidly continue to vote for them. Amazing…
No one told me how to feel about B.O., he stinks to high heaven and this Administration is nothing more than a 3rd term of the biggest mistake this country has made, and he is using the senile Biden to fast track the destruction of the country.
Yeah, I don’t have much income but a pension and wife’s SS (OK, I made about $75 in tips playing guitar this month), but S&P500 is near record level - my 401K is up over $52K since January 1.
