People are fed up with the left and this could be a big indicator of how the voting may happen.

In regards to the sharp increase in inflation we are experiencing. I was in Junior High School the last time we hit 21% with the Feds Prime Rate, the outright fear from my Father at the prospect of getting laid off or losing his job due to cost cutting, remember the self rationing that took place. If Memory servies me correctly, Milk was above $5 a gallon, my family had to go to powdered milk and mix with water (yuck), We started to bake our own bread because the pre-packaged bread was so expensive. No more steak or cut up steak strips. Best we could hope for was ground beef every once in while (expensive) but primarily we used chicken. Rice instead of potatos. A lot of pork chops. We were a two car family but one car stayed in the garage for the most part because we could only afford to operate one. The best part was Jimmy Carter's fireside chats telling us all to sacrifice more because we were all living high on the hog (according to him) based on how high our thermostats were set. We all should turn down the heat to freakin 68 degrees and wear sweaters in the peak of the Midwestern Winter. If we all would just sacrifice more maybe we could get past this. I hear this time things are going to get worse than in the late 1970's. Hope they are wrong because that was not an enjoyable memory if you were a kid at the time.
