Policies of George Jr in many cases have not yet appeared in your life. For example, now that the drug industry has had their 'double' drug prices in America protected by George Jr socialism - complete with an $8billion corporate welfare - well, those costs are coming to a drug store near you.
The stock market has seen zero growth after the initial George Jr downturn. This while the propaganda says otherwise - and debts are piling up like surges upon a New Orleans levee.
Gasoline prices more than doubled We somehow think this has not impacted the economy? Well, yes. Because those problems like so many others created by George Jr are still behind that levee.
Let's not forget how many future enemies are being produced and cultured today by George Jr - who even authorizes torture as violent as that imposed by N Vietnamese upon American prisoners. We openly advocate torture and somehow pretend it is not happening. But travel the world to see how it has impacted where an Americans are still warmly welcomed.
How bad will your expenses become? Transportation industries - especially GM and the airlines - will cause lower American living standards when their debt dam bursts - including massive pensions fund defaults. You still think everything is just fine? Notice the debts not yet booked since the George Jr administration can hide them with SS, FAA, and Highway Trust Fund ‘book keeping’.
I watch things like wholesale electric prices. Normally grid electricity would sell anywhere from $20 per megawatt hour up to $60. However even in this week - when electricity is not in demand - those wholesale prices during the day have been on the order of $200 and $220. You tell me. Has your electric bill gone up - let alone go up by a factor of 10? Just another example of market forces piling up behind the levee. What will your oil or gas heating bill look like this winter? You have a nestegg for those expenses including rising taxes because government also needs to pay their energy bills?
Denial remains widespread. Those who are subjective claim that SUV sales have decreased. Yes. And then we look at the numbers - how realists learn. The decrease is so small as to be called zero. Another symptom of denial as debt and inflation pile up behind that levee. But George Jr says, "No one expected the levees to be breached". That's how bad it may get. Many of us are still thinking as if we too are George Jr. - in denial.
