So here comes the Federal Reserve to unscrew one of the screw ups of the Biden Administration. They are raising interest rates they say to reduce inflation. That's possible but at the same time they are destroying the real estate market as well as eliminating wealth from millions of people. Inflation was a Biden unforced error in the first place. He caused it by declaring war on fossil fuels.
Not to worry if you are living on Social Security. We will soon see a COLA increase in our checks. Now COLA stands for cost of living adjustment. They have some program they use to determine what that adjustment will be. It probably includes flights to Europe and cruises in the Caribbean. I have a suggestion. Just go to the grocery store or a gas station. That would be the real test of what inflation truly is.
The vast majority of people living on social security have seen their buying power destroyed by Bidenomics aka inflation. I just went to the grocery store with my wife. The prices are obscene. The projected cola increase will be about 3%, starting next January. If you are like me, we have been dealing with massive inflation all this year. 3% won't get it done. Oh, and by the way, Medicare premiums are also likely to increase to further add to the problem.
While on the subject of gripes. The ultra liberal DA of Fulton County Georgia is showing the world what an America hater looks like. I don't know what Trump did but it appears his biggest crime was being a popular Republican. Whatever he did, if anything, could never rise to the level of criminal activity of Hillary Clinton. Was she prosecuted? Of course she wasn't. She's a Democrat.
A very possible result of the action in Fulton County could be very dangerous for this country. There are some people who are really mad. And for what? This is all just a lame way to interfere with the next election. I will say this. The whole bunch of Trump and America haters better hope Trump isn't elected. If he is successful, they have a very iffy future. That includes the Justice Dept. and the FBI as well as many in the media, not to mention the ultra liberal prosecutors in Atlanta and in New York.
The smartest thing that could happen is for the whole mess to be thrown out of court. That would be the best thing for the country. We just need a patriotic judge to step up and take care of this.
Loyal readers will remember I suggested that Trump quit and just go home. He doesn't owe this country anything. History will be very kind to him and will doubtless excoriate those who are trying to find ways of getting rid of him.
Personally I am disgusted with all of this. I will support whichever Republican wins the nomination. This country absolutely cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden. You talk about somebody who probably should be in jail, look no further than sleepy Joe and his junkie son, Hunter. When Hillary is arrested and made to defend herself in court, I could show more interest in whatever Trump has done, if anything.
