The money changers dim the lights slowly and before you know it you are stumbling in the dark without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. Austerity is here. It only takes one emergency....one unexpected event....one vehicle to go down...one illness....and with inflation and I know it's up...you are sunk.
I have never ever seen times like this. I am really down to the catfood crap and our unexpected stuff hit full force in Janurary when our daughter went into the hospital with another kidney infection..our college one who Scott has cut medicaid expansion off and
I hate that man with a passion. The light bill for everyone or most everyone down here in central Florida is paying for a Nuclear plant via Duke Energy and the co ops buy energy from them and they pass it on to the customers. How many people can really pay over 400 a month for lights and no LIHEAP? Our entire street looks like Flint Michigan from Roger and Me with people being evicted or just empty houses.
Veteran families and families on fixed income have like no cola and certainly not the kind to keep up with inflation. Absolutely no one wants to work out utility bills, etc...pay it or lose it... We have had three audits on the energy usage and every since new digital meters were put in...someone one told me yesterday they are riding by scanning instead of getting out of the vehicle and reading the damn thing. Sounds to me like some of us are paying for neighbors.
Then there is the gasoline hike in a rural area with no mass transportation and Scott is again to blame for that crap. You have to drive almost everywhere.. He and his old firm has taken over all hospitals down here. Janurary is the time of month your new deductable is due so if you take medicine expect to pay out the yazoo till your deductible is met. Groceries are out the roof and they tell us a recovery is happening.
I call Bullshit.
No one is immune to what is happening to our economy and I will tell you why.
One unexpected thing and your boat is sunk or sinking. There is no way in Hell you can save a dime. Something will happen. In our case in Feb..our tailgate fell and crashed and we had to pay for a deductible and even though insurance Geico was great we still had to have a rental car with those expenses. So you take that 500 dollar deductible with medicines for a kid in college and then get slapped with a high light bill and have just one thing like the water heater go out again ...because all rentals down here people are responsible for maintenance and there you go !!! Slip sliding away.
So if your grown kid who helps has the IRS pull their return because the preparer may have made a mistake or it was just random on a puny 12000 a year job.....you can't count on that. Oh I forgot he got food stamps for maybe 6 months before they cut him off....God I hate Scott.....
Grown kids think if you have a fixed income and they are out of work and can't find work..you are rich so they want to move in...You let them stay a few weeks or a month and now on top of stress you got highter grocery bills. Oh no...austerity is here and so is borrowing from Peter to pay Paul and now they both want their money.
Get ready people.....This I fear is the beginning... Especially in the states where tea party people rule.. In Florida if you are black ( code word thug) or a democrat (commie code word) you have to worry about getting shot. Because people are just going nuts. No hyperbole... they go to church with firearms.
Plus if you get sick you better do like Alan Grayson said.. If you get sick...die quickly. Where does this madness end..?
I got my car back and Vet let the tailgate fall on my head accidently... I am not in a good mood.
If you got a dime, you might want to hold on to it or you too will be eating grits and gravy real soon. Our retirement was not supposed to be this way and your working life was supposed to be better than this. I see little school kids getting their blessings bags for food on the weekends here in Central Florida. Did you ever know of such a thing?
I am totally out of answers for Florida and Georgia and North Carolina and other red red areas. People are getting greedier and stupider by the day !
I hope this letter encourages people that if their boat is sinking...don't feel all alone.. this is a reality check... Do not let people blame Obama for this nightmare ..Put the blame where it belongs... Scott damn well knew this siutation before he started cutting and hurting people.
This was in 2011.. It has gotten worse
