what can we do about cost of living rising, cost of milk, cost of cigarettes, cost of gas, etc. it is serious,

Question

We are sending money overseas to feed hungary, what about here, no healthcare, no food, not enough housing, yet anyone can come here and get on the band wagon, I am mad.

Answer 1

We are all mad. We should be taking care of American citizens not the citizens of other countries. Cost continue to rise and we are hurting. (Sorry but I don't really care of the cost of "cigs" go through the roof. They are stinky and I can't breathe if someone is smoking near me.)

Answer 2

The economic equipment is set by utilising aspects which contain housing starts off, unemployment fees, commerce stability/imbalance and it is all very complicated and that i can't make experience of it a great form of the time. What I do think of roughly is how excited Wall highway grew to become into whilst the Dow Jones hit 10,000 and NASDQ hit a million,200. Now that the DJ is over 12,000 and NASDQ is over 2,000 you will think of the sky is falling and the worldwide is ending whilst the industry drops 500 factors. i assume inflation is the reason or is it the rationalization? At a macro point i think of that our economic equipment is almost a house of enjoying cards and what seems to be a solid economic equipment is supplied on a comfortable stability of latest incoming gross sales propelled by utilising debt and unsupported by utilising a solid infrastructure. whilst this incoming gross sales slows down and a company/corporation is compelled to stay to tell the tale on it is own aspects it could no longer help itself. At a micro point i think of human nature being what this is, as quickly as a element or objective is attained or reached, something much less appears like a tragedy. i've got quite been in command of that. And specific, i know my use of macro/micro isn't in compliance with the college of economics.....

Answer 3

I would much rather use our dollars to provide services in our country.Rather than sending BILLIONS of aid to other countries.Illegals{most of them}at least contribute to our economy.What does Africa or Iraq for instance contribute?Africa we send 100's of billions to to fight AIDS but it wasn't until this year they let medicine reach the area's where it was most needed.So what have they done with all the money and assistance we've sent in the past?Iraq why are we spending BILLIONS to rebuild while it's being torn apart?It's like building a house in the middle of a hurricane.We have so much waste in government and yet we pick out a populace of people here in the U S and say THEY are draining us.I don't think so.

Answer 4

Well, you should cut out the cigarettes as they are unhealthy and a "luxury", your pregnant anyway so you shouldn't be smoking. I agree that we spend far too much money on outside nations health and food issues while our poor go hungary right in our back yards. But when someone talks about cigarettes on the same list I have no sympathy for their financial woe's. Bare nececities come before wants. You'll see when your baby arrives that formula is much more important. Try taking the bus or walking to the grocery store and work. It'll save on the gas, then if you put your car in non op status with the DMV for a few months that'll save on insurance costs, if you have it. You can also apply for AIM health coverage since your pregnant.

Answer 5

The cost of gasoline is making all other consumer items rise. Most people here and in the US thought the rise in gasoline prices would only affect them at the pump. Think again. How does one think all those items people buy at the grocery store or any store for that matter get there? By truck, which is fueled by oil. People are so naive.

Answer 6

we all complain but no ones listening. If everyone could go a week without buying anything. I mean not even a drop of gas. That would get someones attention. Shut down wall street if we did that. Might even see a drop in prices

I guess we all need to win the lottery and buy stocks in the futures market.

Answer 7

I think the overall increase is due to Ethanol. Why are we allowing the use of our primary feed grain as fuel?

Stop the craziness people, the only who benefit from this are corn farmers...nearly $5 a bushel.

Why grow soy (or anything else) when the government subsidizes corn?

Answer 8

It's all based on the price of gas, not in correlation to aid abroad. Buy local and use a vehicle with low gas mileage and work for alternative fuel sources.

Answer 9

Give aid to the citizens before giving aid to other countries. Likewise, lower the lost of commodities through subsidy by government instead of helping other countries.

Answer 10

All the costs you are talking about have always gone up. Especially medical costs and gas. illegals or no illegals they will continue to go up because of greed.
