I've said it since I heard about the first stimulus checks being given out, We're going to see inflation hit big time if this keeps up. Guess what, it didn't take long for it to hit! Why do people keep believing the politicians? What makes the average "Joe" so F'n ignorant? And the worst part is they keep believing them and voting them in office! Once in office they keep spending. Our Founding Fathers were pretty smart but I wished they had put clauses in for term limits and balanced budgets!

Of course this is correct, but it requires the ability to think logically to understand it. How much easier to engage in magical thinking? The people who raised me are fervent Bernie and Liz disciples, eager to spread the news that greedy corporations are destroying the middle class. The only information they receive comes from MSNBC, and those facts "prove" that it's the wealthy who are hoarding all the money. You can't cut through the cocoon that surrounds them, no matter what you say. If you try, you'll be told it's proof that you're a fascist, not to mention a racist because of "unequal outcomes" you know. There is a section of our nation that is allergic to truth; they simply go into hysterics at its mention. Only hitting rock bottom will introduce reality, but of course the chaos will be horrific. Leftist thought is the real enemy, as always.

Well, it's like the raise I just got...in the end the taxes on the increase to my income will mean I will make less now than I did before the raise, not to mention my cash and savings is worth less because of inflation😵‍💫
