Possibly throwing us back into recession(if you even believe we are not still in one). Increased taxes will be good for the deficit if the politicians don't try to raise the debt ceiling(again)and find other things to spend that money on instead of erasing some of the deficit.....and let's face it, politicians ALWAYS find new ways to spend tax money.<br />In 2010 Obama had a reason to keep the ever shrinking working masses happy w/a tax cut, at least for 2 more years so he looks better on the way to the 2012 election. After the election, he doesn't give a crap what happens....if he wins, he can't run again so he has no reason to keep the people placated and if he loses, he'll be thumbing his nose at us from his 35 million $ estate that his campaign buddies have already purchased for him to retire to.<br /><br />And the gas price?....don't count on it staying down for long. Especially after the election is over.slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-18480318722203297262012-10-10T13:27:38.654-04:002012-10-10T13:27:38.654-04:00But what you going to do when it all goes over you...But what you going to do when it all goes over your upper limit?<br />Not eating is not an option....slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-17349005571115745252012-10-10T12:05:37.119-04:002012-10-10T12:05:37.119-04:00Isn't that the truth... and the Unemployment n...Isn't that the truth... and the Unemployment numbers are as false and useless as it can be. They leave out critical groups (those that have been looking for employment and collecting benefits for over 13 weeks and still have not found a job), and those that have found other living arrangements and stopped looking because they couldnt find a job. The real unemployment rate has always been at the very least double what it is reported.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075300256482920618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-29498233436649166332012-10-10T10:01:08.558-04:002012-10-10T10:01:08.558-04:00Your are one smart cookie!Your are one smart cookie!One Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369132659573259613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-37496336036534571672012-10-10T08:50:55.174-04:002012-10-10T08:50:55.174-04:00Sluggy,

I worked in research for several years and saw what was happening. There was no way I could prove that things were manipulated and the wrong box was deliberately checked. <br /><br />To me it is old news that politicians lie and manipulate numbers. But, it is always very good to repeat. The GOP frightens me much more with tax cuts to the wealthy and dismatling social programs than the present administration. <br /><br />(Bush tax cuts are expiring. What then?)<br /><br />Gas is down 13 cents from last month--$3.46 yesterday. Food is always up, even from day to day, it seems.<br /><br /> Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-62443470012577691842012-10-10T08:15:48.606-04:002012-10-10T08:15:48.606-04:00I do ignore it.

Luckily, there are other options when something (like red peppers) which were a deal one month are more expensive the next. I don't know about you but I have set upper limits to dictate what I will or won't spend on an item.Alex Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562233895276078957noreply@blogger.com
