How can a practically empty shopping cart of groceries total up to $43.90? I mean, really? My sons ask why I don't buy Flaming Hot Cheetos any more to pack in their lunches. . . At $3.00 a bag, I don't think it is worth it. My older son has been loving them since he was a toddler, but I'm afraid they can only be an occasional treat now. To add insult to injury, many companies are shrinking the amount of product inside packages to ostensibly keep the prices the same. Excuse me? I'm not that stupid. I notice.
We are all cutting back and trying to deal with the reality of the situation. I wish the President and the incompetent Democrats would step up to the plate and learn to make do with less, instead of trying to grow the government to unsustainable levels. At least get out of the way and let the Republicans try to be more grown up about what we can and can't afford as a nation, instead of whining the predictable mantra that "the children and the elderly are going to suffer." As President Reagan once said, "we have a rendezvous with destiny," but the destiny as it stands now is not the rosy one envisioned by him but one that is far more unpleasant. I resent the politicians who only care about re-election and who don't put the interests of the country and its citizens first. Enough already!
