HOW GREAT IS IT???? Why is it we now pay more for a pound of fruit
or vegetables than we do for a pound of meat or poultry??? Why is it
that the price of goods and services have increased FAR BEYOND the
"average increase in income"???? How does the increase in income to
the ultra wealthy contribute to that "average increase in income"???

How much worse off is your situtation than it was yesterday??? Are
you more afraid of Al-Quaida than you are of a bridge falling while
you are on it??? How much more afraid of the overall failure of the
infra-structure, the loss of life as a result of an illegal war, and
impending bankruptcy of yourself AND THIS NATION, than you are the of
result of incompetence and criminality of the current
administration???

How much more is being confiscated from your Social Security, each
year, to pay for medical insurance??? How little have raises in SS
contributed to offsetting your cost of living increases???


Don't forget the cost of housing. The Affordability Index, published by the National Association of Realtors, has plunged 20 points nationally over the past three years and more in the northeast and west.

Which means what? That those who own homes are making out like a bandit, in certain parts of the country, and not so good in other parts of the country? That perhaps, the government should not take so much out of each paycheck to pay for their pet projects, which would allow more people to be able to buy that home?
