Stupid Government

Wall Street Journal:WASHINGTON -- U.S. consumer prices were under wraps last month, a government report showed, especially when food and energy prices were stripped out, further evidence that the economic slowdown is easing some of the inflationary effect of recent sharp gains in food and energy prices.

Makes you wonder what people this government is about. How on earth can they say consumer prices under control but not count food and energy. I haven't met too many citizens of the USofA who don't have to buy food and energy. That's kind of like saying Death Valley will be a fine place to live, as long as heat and water aren't counted.

It makes you wonder just how far from reality the government has really gotten. The president is so far removed from you and me that he hasn't a clue what is going on in "normal" America. Wouldn't you like to take him for a ride down some subnormal American urban street to watch the pushers and gang bangers hanging around in front of some local market covered with PayDay Loans and WIC Accepted signs on it. Hell, I'll bet JCPenny or Sears would be enough to send him for a loop. Can you imagine Cheney or Bush going out to fill up their truck with gas and pick up a pack of hotdog buns? The problem is that they all so many layers of sycophants standing by they have completely lost contact with us - the people.

But you know? Thank goodness our government has decided that consumer prices haven't gone up - I feel much better now since I'm only imagining my $4 gas and $3 bread.
