On news that MacDonalds plans to hire 50,000

16,000.00 is less than 1,600.00 in 1970 dollars. Perhaps even half that.
imo
We spent over 350.00 for fuel these past two weeks for trips to Doctors,
groceries and local errands.
we are in fly over country or the majority of America.
The holy mantra, of Wall Street and other Economies for so looong was
that the American dollar's value was too high or that we needed to cut
the value of the dollar to encourage trade or the Globalist Wall
Street's bottom line etc.
our Republic and Economy has been assaulted and raped.
Washington/Wall Street continues to finesse the rape to enlarge their
coffers and keep Keynesians in new thrones and yachts.
America is a fire sale to the rest of the world now thanks to their
success.

The price of gas is killing everybody I know. I hang with real middle
class folks and we can't afford an extra couple hundred a week for gas
and groceries, oil, etc... We were fine when George Bush was president,
actually, more to the point, before Nancy Pelosi took over the House...

Do you really think that Bush, and or Obama can regulate gas prices in
Canada, idiot? They can't even to that in the U.S.
