As our currency the "world currency" has depreciated 25-35% in less than a year against other currencies so too have the costs of commodities gone up in similar fashion. I have noticed this and realized that although the gangsters at OPEC are not totally innocent neither is our government nor are we for the ignorance of voting some of these morons into office.
Has anyone else noticed that politicians are everything to everyone? They change their beliefs based on which voters they are in front of at that moment. The only one that I knew of that wasn't like that was Ron Paul but the cheerleading media wouldn't even give him a justified amount of airtime. Now we have to pick from two guys that are just about the same except one is white and one is black. Is this really what our founding fathers had envisioned when they drew up The United States Constitution?
Now that we are realizing that this country is in a recession and quite possibly nearing the second Great Depression maybe far worse than in 1929... maybe now we can get back to producing things instead of importing from third world countries and turning their economies into Dynasty's while the richest 5-20% of Americans sell the U.S. right out from underneath our ever so trusting feet. When can we hit the restart button and become a People that are proud to be Americans whom would prefer to buy American products rather than cheaper foreign products? If we do start actually building and producing again here in America our economy can start to recover.
Meanwhile the middle class have become extinct, so you are either rich or poor. But the Government still says that inflation is only at 3-4%. How is that possible when all of the staples that are needed to keep a family alive are rising at rates in the high double digits. Am I the only one that sees this crap for what it is crap?
Don't try to save because inflation is devaluing your currency at a rate that is impossible for you to make in any Money Market/Savings or Checking Account. So what are our choices as Americans now?
Why is it that the media are still cheerleaders and not reporting the truth as it is happening before our very own eyes? Do these people really know what we the normal people are going through? Do they think that we believe their BS?
Until then I will continue to ride my bicycle with my wife and our baby as much as possible.
Please someone tell me that I am wrong and give me some factual data to back it up.

And then they have the nerve to talk about "throwing away your vote" Ha! I won't be throwing away my vote on one of them.
