jumped 70%! Dayam. I'm glad beer hasn't done that in the last decade or has it! I know I haven't been able to find a brisket for under 2 bucks a pound in a couple or so years now. During holidays, it was easy to find on sale for 59 cents per lb....
 
:iamwithstupid: yep it's sad financial state for the country, sky high unemployment & ever expanding welfare growth, with lack of true honest economic growth a dismal barely over 1% average, a dismal 4% this Christmas/holiday season {this quarter is usually the biggest time of spending} that's if you actually believe those #'s, our growing debt & cost of living rises... more people at the poverty level today, we going the wrong direction for sure... Merry Christmas

This may be the wrong thing to say , but Thank God for hurricane Sandy. The rebuilding at the Jersey shore is what is keeping me afloat right now. It is a "false Good econony" for me . I take what I can get work wise.
Merry Christmas all>

A revolt against the Congress, is difficult when they are the center of it. We need a complete new start in Government. They push businesses out of the Country every day it continues. Like Budnick said. No growth, no investment, no hiring beyond replacment workers when already companies have slashed for years. Look at the cost of money, artificially low interest rates simply because their is no demand for money! The Government writes IOUS with IOU's.
 
Kind of a side bar but I went to the bank the other day to grab a couple bucks for last minute gifts (yes I still pay in cash when possible) and they gave me a new 100 bill as part of it. The stuff looks like Monopoly money! It sure seems that way! I showed DW when I got home, she asked "Is obamas picture on it". Surprised its not...

No, I was watching a show about prohibition on TV but they didn't mention what wages were doing. Generally, wages are slow to catch up to inflation tho....
