Wages Versus Inflation
The government says inflation is 10%. The government are liars. Have you noticed the cost of goods at the local grocery store. A 12 pack of soda cost $3.99 just a year ago. Cost of a 12 pack of soda is now over $10.00. That’s a 300% increase in price. I remember buying a two liter plastic bottle of RC for 0.99 cents. Now any two litter soda is $3.50 to $4.00. I can go on and on. A fully decked out brand new pick up truck or SUV can cost $100,000. With skyrocketing inflation numbers, Mortgage rates surpassing 8%, wages remain the same. I remember not to long ago a $100,000 annual salary was considered high income and wealthy. $100,000 with the inflation rates today is lower middle class. If you work for the government, you will get raises because the government print dollars through their printing press. There needs to be a change and people need to wake up and stop being in a state of denial
