My rent went up another 20% this year after 20% last year.

Just a few things from my trip to the grocery store Saturday.

1 dozen eggs (nothing special) $5.50
Everything that was 1lb is now 12 ounces.
I bought one of those little pints of ice cream. It must have been 60% air.
Salmon. $16 a lb.
Gasoline still $4 a gallon
Diesel still $5 a gallon

The store was filled with chubby Spanish speaking peoples who I have never seen in this town. ALL had EBT cards and carts full of groceries.

American taxpayers are being sh*t on by government. I think given all the fees we pay, anyone earning under 400k should pay no taxes.

See, just like angry-man Joe said in the SOTU, "The economy is fine."

Paying with an EBT gives you a discount on groceries.

Mostly on basics, but adds up to a pretty tidy sum.

Try it yourself - use the self-check out and see what the final totals are.
