Had to fill up at 4.069/gallon Saturday. Depressing.
And the Democrats are going to save us from what, again? Prosperity? That's about the only thing they're going to save us from, at this rate.
And my psychiatrist keeps asking me if I'm depressed. Having fond memories of milk and gasoline under a buck a gallon, and beef for around a buck a pound, methinks I have every right to be.
Don't even get me started on housing prices - bought my first house for $33K (model home, split-level, 1/2-acre lot) and making a $360/mo mortgage got a little tight once in a while.
Median home prices are up around $500K, and I remember seeing a "house" in Campbell going for something like $400K a few years ago - all 500 square feet of it, with a postage-stamp yard (I could have mown it in about forty seconds with a common pair of scissors. I've had farkin' toolsheds that were larger than that! Hell, a forty-foot CONEX box, I think, is bigger than that!)

One thing I'll understand is how people are still in love with him. He has a worse approval rating than bush. You go up to an 0bama supporter and you'll get "Yeah he's not doing the best job, but we still think he can!"

Fawning adoration of the mainstream media, coupled with the ersatz 'fact' that if you're not an Obama sackrider, you're a racist.
Next question.

Just about any politician now days is a duche nozle. They campaign on one thing, and go back on it when reality hits once they get in office.
Our real problem isn't the National Debt, it's the price of money. When we give banks money at some rediculious low rate to encourage investment, but you can't get a decent return on any investment you make, investors look for commodities to make money on. Energy and Food are what everyone needs, so that is what they are investing in. The increased cost of the basics makes everything else go up. Wages have not gone up. The Gov't says that there is no inflation; they are wrong. When it takes more money to buy basic goods and services than it did before time "X", and that rate is increasing, that is inflation. Now the Gov't worries about reverse inflation ( I can't see how this could happen on our current path, but let's entertain the idea). Why worry that buying basic goods and services costs less than it did before, but the wages remain the same? How is that bad?
