How can y'all say inflation is out of control when there hasn't been a COLA increase for Social Security and Mil pay in 2 years now. Inflation has been <1%!

Be careful, or you'll be told you're barking up a wrong tree!

Let's go back and review your election post history in union talk, shall we?

Hey, how's CAPA treating USAPA these days?

------------

Exchange Rates Graph (Euro, American Dollar)

I dont expect you to actually look at the graph, it wouldn't fit your world view.

He said it is out of YOUR control... which it is, and if you don't think there is going to be a price to pay for this administration's money printing party, then you aren't paying attention.

This is what 1 trillion looks like:
$1,000,000,000,000.00

But I know that it is futile to try to explain juast how big that number is.....

One of the best explanations of just how big a trillion dollars is:

Back when we printed the $1,000 bill, a stack of brand new thousand dollar bills that was 4 inches high equals 1 million dollars.

A stack of thousand dollar bills that equals a trillion dollars, is a stack that is 64 Miles high.

From what I hear, just fine. USAPA supported a different candidate...who was not a USAPA guy, but was from APA. The SWAPA guy won.

And no one sold their souls for it.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with both of you, the debt and spending is out of control, the graph fits my world view just fine, but inflation is not out of control or I would have gotten a COLA raise last year and this year (according to the guberment) .
