It's a hard call. I think the worst of it is the cost of healthcare here in the states. Health insurance to cover me and my wife is about $ 2,300.00/month now.

I'm so thankful that they saw fit to give me a 17 % raise on the job last month. That should cover cost of living increases and even leave a bit left over to represent real wage growth this year.

The ones that seem to be suffering the most are the retirees living on a fixed income. The buzzword in the US congress a few years ago was that " a rising tide (of inflation ) floats all boats." That simply wasn't true because some boats are firmly anchored to the bottom. This is what you get with Keynesian economics and a center left progressive government that's looking to expand it's social programs. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. One way or another it all gets paid for through direct and indirect taxation.



You guys up in Canada are in a better position because you're able to sell off your natural resources .. like oil .. to help fund your social programs. You really don't have to fund any kind of a military because you are under protection of the United States. You can live in relative peace & prosperity because we're the ones doing the heavy lifting.

Which kinda brings us full circle to Tucker & Putin. There was really no need to watch the interview. There's an easy way to tell when Putin is spinning his lies.

His lips are moving.
