Some idiot on this website told me that the federal reserve helps prevent inflation. I'm curious how many out there share this opinion? Yes, I am biased, and it's obvious, I am biased towards the fact that printing money is the cause of inflation. What do you all think? Did your college professor tell you how good the federal reserve is for all of us and how much you should worship it?

Let's see just how stupid this world really is

"Chancellor Sajid Javid has presented his spending plan to MPs in the Commons, with the health service, education and the police expected to fare well.

He told MPs the government had "turned the page on austerity", outlining £13.8bn of investment on areas including health and education.

Mr Javid said it was the fastest spending increase for 15 years, but the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, accused him of "meaningless platitudes"."

"The Department of Health budget will grow by 1.2 per cent in real terms between 2009/10 and 2020/21. This is far below the long-term average increases in health spending of approximately 4 per cent a year (above inflation) since the NHS was established and the rate of increase needed based on projections by the Office of Budget Responsibility (4.3 per cent a year)."

I've always had a garden and a peach tree forever. How many of you plan to grow some of your own food this year, or... hunt or fish for it?

It costs to grow vegetables.. fertilizer, seed, water, but there is no mistaking fresh and if you are fortunate, it may save some $ Items like:
lettuce, kale- easy and productive
peas - gives for a month or so
green beans - produces several crops, freeze well
cucumbers - can for pickles
zucchini - very productive
All these are easy to grow if you have the space
Potatoes are easy to grow, hard to store! I like the red kind, but don't seem to store well.
Tomatoes are productive but give a burst all at one time, but may have to can them

Fruit Trees are a lot of work... bugs, pruning, bees, spraying. Maybe try some shrubs like blueberries! I just started some.

The US National Debt has more than doubled in 10 years, that equates to about 7% per year inflation rough math. As the currency is devalued, everything gets more expensive, shrinks in size, quality is reduced, or production shifted to where is cheaper. Noticed how there is now about 10 m&m's in a package and they taste like chemicals? Yuck! If you aren't getting big raises, then you've been falling behind which is why your electric, gas, food, health is chewing up your budget. Keep in mind if you make 3% in an investment, you pay tax on that, so it isn't 3%, it's more like 1.5%. I'm not that great at math... maybe I'm wrong by a few digits, but not wrong by reality of living expenses!

Appreciate your farmers, it's hard work and they are under paid.

USA: This is the % of $ you pay to the govt on your adj gross income. Amount paid to govt/ adj gross income.

Up or down? I'm up.6% Add in inflation around 5% or more... I'm getting poorer. How are you doing?
