    How Is our economy taking your money, how Is it Bleeding you ?
    I'm pissed I buy blood pressure meds, 3 months supply at a time.
    Was 50 bucks per 30 pills two years ago ,,got up to 54 bucks per thirty and held,,,now with Obama scarin big business It just jumped to 80 Bucks for 30 pills,,I raised hell with the pharmacy,,poor girl.
    She said to call the Doc for a cheaper drug, she said everything Is jumping In anticipation of future price controls...
    Two days later my health insurance went up 30 bucks a month.
    Hmm lets see,,drugs go up $26,,,Ins goes up $30,,,Those two Industries are workin together,,,
    This raises my blood pressure,,,,lol

      i think it would be cheaper in the long run to get on a heart transplant waiting list and forget the pills

          One of the guys I work with has mentioned hyper inflation and its coming! Wait until the government tells you your insurance isn't good enough and you have to pay the tax penalty (even after paying for insurance) or its too good and you have to pay a 40% penalty.

            I've been on and off a drug called Allegra for the last 20 years. It's been a couple since I've had to fill it. Tried to a couple months ago. 60 bucks a month. WHAT? I paid 2 when I first started using it. My Crestor jumped up 5 bucks a month. I haven't seen what my wife's RX have done yet. F'n unbelievable.

              I'm sure we haven't seen nothing yet. The drug companies, insurance company's and all the others who feel threatened are going to do their very best to break it off in us to prove a point. Does our government ever do anything right that requires thought? Hell man does any major company think things through period. Nope it's all about how much more can we make for the lazy azz leg huggers who wouldn't know a hard days labor if it bit them in the nads...

                In the early 80's, I used to take out $15 a week for gas for my 72 Dodge Demon, 340-4bbl, and sometimes need another $5.

                Today, I fill my truck at 1/4 full and it costs $48-54, and it lasts me 4-5 days.

                4 years ago, we used to spend $80-110 every 2-3 weeks on groceries.

                Today, we spend $140-190 every 2 weeks.

                I used to get tires for my cars for $49 each, $60 for good ones.

                Today, I pay $153 for ONE TIRE for my truck. (LT rated)

                It used to cost me $3-5 to fill my bike.

                Today, I spend $11-13 to fill it up.

                Back in College, Ramin noodles were 6 packs for a $1.

                Today, they're 2-$1, On a good week, you had sliced hotdog in the soup!!)

                I used to pay $2-5 per car model, as a kid.

                I bought 2 of them at Christmas for a friend's kid, and they're now $16-20 EACH!! No glue included!!

                  Hell it was only 1997 when I could fill my old Camaro up for .879999 a gallon...it didn't last me very long, but f**kit , it was only 87 cents a gallon....

                                      I'm in favor of anyone who gets laid.

                                      Plus Clinton was interviewed by Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" and they spent the whole time discussing favorite cigars. Takes genuine balls, that.
