<8. The price of food continues to rise much faster than the paychecks of most middle class families. For example, the average price of ground beef has just hit a brand new all-time record high of $3.884 a pound.<

Hey, tejek the ultra-compasionate non-conservative said...

<Okay. Food prices are skyrocketing. You'll just have to do what the rest of us poor folk do.........cut back. Need to lose some weight..........you can kill two birds with one stone.<

So according to tejek, that answer is easy.... 'CUT BACK".... Instead of everyone getting their own hamburger, split up that one burger 4 ways.. Sure you may go to bed hungry, but you might wake up a few ounces lighter...

the middle class is being destroyed.

Yes, that started the day I turned 29. It had nothing to do with a centrally planned economy, which we don't have, and everything to do with the end of 32 cent gas.

en.wikipedia.org

It didn't look like the end at the time, cuz we compensated by putting Mom to work to pay for the gas Pop needed to drive to work. The final nail in the coffin was the implementation of Raygunomics.
