Who are YOU passing your costs on to?

[The Straight Story]

Companies are paying more for a lot of things now (gas, utilities, etc and so on) and they pass those costs along to us in the form of higher prices.

The government wages wars, increases their budget, and passes that cost along to us as well.

Our cost of living goes up and who do we pass that along to????

We need more unions and better representation in govt so that we can pass along our costs.

3. The Powers That Be have no problems with inflation as long as .....

.....its not wage inflation.

I cant count the number of so called economists I've seen on the financial news programs that dont consider what were facing now to be a problem so long as wages dont increase to keep pace.

I wonder who they expect to be able to afford their "cant live without" widgets if we dont have any money because everything is more expensive and our wages arent keeping pace?

4. According to the AFL-CIO, 53% of Americans would join a union, right now, if they could.

I'm assuming that number doesn't include all the people already in unions. And just imagine if Americans were truly educated to the benefits of organized labor, instead of getting most of their information about them from the corporate stooges of the MSM!

5. I've cut magazine/newspaper subscriptions, first. I can read 'em on line

much as I love the physical act of reading. I've cut some donations. I've cut some of my household budget. And I'm really watching how, when, where I drive.

9. I'm passing things on in reverse

doing more gardening, and the excess crops get donated around.
Also buying more off individuals off craigslist.

My savings = other local people's bounty.

10. There is only me.

When I die, whoever's holding the notes at that time are welcome to come and get whatever the hell is left of their stuff. I certainly won't be in a position to complain, and I doubt very much if I'll even care. }(
