I forgot a few things...first what in the world do we elect our officials for? They apparently aren't doing their jobs. My pay increases simply CANNOT KEEP UP with rise in home insurance, health insurance and cost of goods. The cost of goods has gone up and simply HASN'T adjusted down since the cost of fuel went down. The cost of things like electricity, etc haven't gone down either. These types of things are whittling away at the little bit of money people have left. I am SURE my health insurance will go down next year as well...when this little gem rolls around...it will NEGATE any raise I might get next year after taxes. This whole thing really TICKS ME OFF and now I am just plain INFURIATED about the whole thing.
