2. It's bullshit when you put all of those that I mentioned together. Food costs are no joke, healthcare and taxes going off the charts is a fact. So again, gas prices are irrelevant. Here in Cali it went up again after the first due to a .75 tax increase.
Do you have a stat to back this up?
You said "cost of living" - and I proved that it has gone down thanks to gas prices.
Healthcare?
http://www.cbo.gov/publication/45229he Congressional Budget Office [CBO] said in a report Monday that the budget deficit will be $492 billion in 2014, or 2.8 percent of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), compared to 2013, when the deficit stood at about $680 billion or 4.1 percent of GDP.
The CBO credited part of the decline to the health care law, including coverage provisions, curbs to Medicare and penalties to individuals and businesses that forego insurance.
Now, that .75 tax increase in cali you mentioned - was that obama? Or was it the state-elected officials? I know conservatives always prefer to let the state/local handle things, over the federal govt. Who gave cali that new tax?
