MysteryToMyself's Journal

I almost missed it, because I thought it was the excerpt on the beginning of the link.

It is well worth the read. It is what many of us are realizing and finding it hard to put in words.

I hope the DLC New Democrat Lieberman type democrats read it too. I hope they will read a lot of different FDR books too.

We should strive to pay off our personal debts. We usually don't run up a credit card, but our heat and air broke down, I broke my shoulder and my husband had to have a foot operation and we maxed out the inflated out of pocket and deductible charges on our insurance in a couple of days, dear daughter and family moved home and we have had obscene heat and air bills since deregulation. Plus inflation is real even if they tell us it isn't...Even Walmart is very expensive. You get the picture.

One of the worst things they have done to the middle class is they have made what we consider necessities very expensive by putting them on the stock market and expecting the costs to go up every year. Think about how much every thing has to go up to feed the market. Utilities, insurances, homes, medical and nursing homes are a few of our necessities. College is considered a necessity by some. You know the cost of that. One new college book is $170 dollars.

They blame all the tax problems on the social programs, but Social Security has trillions in surplus and the rest are not that bad. It is the stock market profit that is causing taxes to be high. Everything the government does, they make sure one of their cronies make a big profit. Think Haliburten.

A lot of inflation and high medical is because the buying power of the dollar is going down because of our dear leaders in congress, the senate and the white house and their unfair deregulation and devaluation caused by their policies plus their groveling to the rich and businesses..

I am sick of corporate welfare and watching them drive around in their expensive foreign cars. while not paying their debts to society. They are no good outfits.
