    good economic reports

    In the last 4 years, my rent has gone up 50%, housing prices in my have more than doubled, my car insurance rate has tripled, groceries are either gone up in price or you get less for your money, restaurants are all more expensive, health insurance premiums are up, new and used cars are extremely expensive, I’m stuck driving a near 30 year old car with a quarter million miles, student loan payments are back, and rates for financing are so high that I can’t afford a car loan or mortgage. On top of it all that bastard Brandon owes me $600 (plus interest).

    This is like that hack Krugman saying that inflation is fine if you don’t include housing, food, gas, and healthcare.
