Ed, I know there’s nothing you can do about it, nor the president nor Congress, but these increased prices happening every day, especially with the energy situation, and now food, has put a person like myself on a fixed income in a very tenuous position. I have to alter my entire lifestyle. The American Dream is dying, in my opinion, and I don’t see any end to it. The only increases I get are offset by increases in Medicare. I feel contolled and manipulated, and I’m very depressed over the situation. My real concern is my grandchildren: What will they have when they reach my age and situation? It doesn’t look good at all. Thanks for letting this depressed citizen vent.

You’ve got enough to worry about on a day-to-day basis. Don’t add in concern for future generations or you’ll never cheer up.— Ed. Note
