So the LSD's mistakenly admit they caused it.

Our food package costs jumped about 18% to 21% and the package contents sizes conveniently changed as the shelves became bear, and then started to reappear. Now we see even the content ingredients have changed also.

Now to add to it, many local governments have stepped in, and jack up the property taxes based on the inflated housing prices. Houses that are slow to sell because the Federal Reserve is keeping the Home Loan prices high.

Either way, nothing tastes the same, and the COLA's never kept up with real costs.

I figure we roughly lost 15+% of our buying income to higher cost of living issues caused by the LSD's.

#2 That was positively the dumbest attempt to smear anyone that I have seen. The morons provide a graph of their incompetence.

#3 The background problem here is they didn't know how bad they had screwed everything up. Totally unaware.
Whether it was immigration, consumer goods, the economy, jobs, the military or whatever. They had a 'brilliant' idea that they knew a better way, and just did it. Didn't matter if it worked or not, do it some more.
It's kinda like going to your kiddies' play dinner, being given a mudpie, and you're supposed to pretend to like it.

#4 This is what happens when you hire DEI idiots to run your intel operation.

#5 They have no idea whatsoever how to read a graph — I am truly shocked. This goes well beyond DEI to base nepotism — give a job to the dropout druggie nephew to keep your demanding sister happy. Even Hunter isn’t this dumb.
