The Cost of Living

Saturday I was listening to A panel of supposedly experts discussing about the effect of the 87 billion stimulus money and if it was getting the job done. I think some of their opinions were influenced by their political affiliation. Evidently it helped the big financial institutions. Some of them seem to have fully recovered and are back to making record profits that might be A sign it saved us from A total recession, but for the ten percent of the people that are out of jobs the recession is getting worse every day they are out of A job. The cost of living is going up and the prices for labor and repairs is going thru the ceiling. A loaf of bread now costs about as much as the farmer is getting for A bushel of wheat. That may be good for the people that have the jobs and are making the money but it is tough on the rest of the people. And is creating A class of destitute people that have to be taken care of and are not paying any taxes. Now the federal judges threw out the law that limited big companies and organizations as to the amount they could spend on political support so now anyone that wants to pass any legislation to benefit the general public will have to buck A lot of big money that will influence the election.
