[rucognizant]

Oh it will Be BAD! I have $70. for the next 11 days until SS payday Aug 3. My car tank is almost empty. My friend had to borrow $10. from her son to get through the next 11 days.............I am going to have a Gallery opening on a very frayed shoestring, Thurs, because after 2 dead summer seasons, for whatever reason...people are buying from the local art gallerys this year, & several have tried to stop by mine. My sign isn't even out.
Everything I have to buy has doubled................my incom has not gone up one penny for 3 years..............I am not a consumer just a survivor. The lack of income trickles ( rushes) down to all the local small businesses, younger people who are trying to earn their way.......I can't support them any more, I just buy the bare necessities.............
That's just PLAIN STUPID, BAD ECONOMICS! Approx 65% of the people in town are in my position......................How is THAT building a strong AMerica???????
