and it is all fun until it reaches the "blue states" LTC David Brown

NO president has stopped the flow of drugs, including the great orange one!

Ah, got anything to back that up?

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Only my eyes and ears sir, and how light my wallet is these days. Things that everyone can see and feel if you're not wealthy. President Biden’s policies have made us energy dependent on the Middle East again and has driven up the cost of gas/diesel, that in turn has accelerated inflation: that hurts the poor the most. President Biden’s open border policies have drugs flowing into our Country and a pace not seen in a long time, if ever. These drugs are hurting and killing poor and homeless at rates I don’t believe we have ever seen. I have a family member that was homeless and recently deceased, that we helped the best we could. I gage what I’ve personally seen on the street the last +15 years. I can tell you I’ve never seen the volume of drugs that is out there right now. From my little corner in NE Pa.

SFC (Join to see) You're to young to remember the 70s. All that you mention was worse then, different drugs perhaps. You miss the point that inflation is a world wide situation caused by the pandemic and not unique to the US. You really need to pay attention to things other than what right wing media puts out because your comments are a 100% regurgitation from them.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I suppose we have different memories of the 70's sir and will have to respectively disagree. I saw Cheech and Chong at a show in the Long John Center in Scranton in the mid 70's, and except mostly for the big cities that’s how drugs were, a good time with no malice. The cities did have their problems. You wouldn’t put you money in a savings account unless you got at least 5%, and by the early 80’s CD’s were at 7% to 8%. Try building a house with that.

This isn’t a Left Wing/Right Wing thing. Inflation is caused by many things, the two most prominent being energy/gas prices and our government printing money with nothing to back it. It cheapens the money. Companies will only grow to a certain point that they are comfortable with and then choose which contracts they take depending on the most money they can make off it. In the early 90’s at PennDOT our governor figured out he would stimulate the economy by putting out more projects, actually this was the first attempt at shovel ready jobs well before BHO. Sounds like a good idea but remember what I said, in reality what happened contractors marked up their prices well over 50% and said if you want this project done pay our price and we will void our prior commitments. The governor’s plans were a total failure. I can talk about this stuff for days, but I'm going to call it quits now, I put out enough.

Well like I said, we will have to agree to disagree, You got me thinking too hard on a nice but very cold Sunday morning. :)
