Today I had 100 gallons of fuel oil delivered . The cost: $400.00.
It will now cost me $47.88 to fill up the gas tank on my 13 year old car.
The grocery bill has gone up $20.00 per week.
I personnally know five families in foreclosure.

The news media claims it will get worse!
The guru's won't admit we are in a recession? What will they say in December when we are all in a mid winter full throttle Depression?

What is your beef with all of this...?

I'm not sure I want to even answer this. I'm already 'riled up,' as my momma use to call it. This morning getting an estimate on some work I need done here at the house. I'm fuming. I need to go to buy some items at the Dollar Store and grocery, and I'm so disgusted, that I am not going anywhere, or doing anything. If this isn't a recession I don't know what is. I can't afford a car, not even a used one!! I can't get out of the Dollar General store for less that 35.00 anymore. Only a year ago, it was about half that. I'm sick of the candidates saying they will do something about the gas prices. The idiots don't have that kind of power to do that, but they think we are stupid enough to believe they can. Sorry, but I'm irate. Get ready to plant your own gardens, walk or ride a bike, and eat more meals at home. Lord knows you can't afford any extras. I have dry cleaning that I haven't been able to take there for over two years. I just put it away, and say the heck with it. A front porch is in dire need of repair, can't afford it. I'm disgusted. Hillary and her millions in the bank, can't be that empathetic to us, or the rest of them up on the hill that have their limos to drive them around in. We are the dummies. We allow it. We pad their pockets with a paycheck. Ok, I've got to go outside for some fresh air.
