    Which those supporters of massive government spending act like doesnt exist in the US.

    Unfortunately, most people don't have access to 'direct from the mill'. While we do have several local mills, not everyone has access to the trees for the milling either. So, back to having to depend on whichever big box or lumber yard for your supplies.....

    Doing some repair/replacement on my wellhouse.
    I went on Wednesday and bought 5 2x4 8'ers. They were up from 3.79 last year to 7.99.
    I needed one more, so when I went back Thursday, those same 3x4's were 10.31.

    3 Ways Rising Price Inflation Hurts Everyday Americans

    Proponents of big-government spending and money-printing tried to downplay April data showing surging consumer prices as just a temporary adjustment. But the new data for May are out now, and they show price inflation shooting up even higher.

    1. Directly Cutting Your Paycheck

    2. Eroding Your Savings

    3. Stealth Taxation


    The Big Picture

    Ultimately, this is just one set of data. We still don’t know how big of a problem price inflation will be in the near future. But it’s an important reminder of the various ways government-caused inflation hurts everyday Americans. (And we haven’t even mentioned economic bubbles!) No matter what rates we ultimately experience, we should all keep this in mind.

    Not that you are a liar but this is a lie.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
