I don't think anyone has any understanding of economics. Here's what I know and what I keep saying. Every year the increase in my health care costs outpaces my raise. The last two years, heating costs outpaced my raise. If it weren't for freelancing and sleeping less, I'd be making significantly less take home than I was four years ago.

f you're in the same boat as I am, and I know a lot of folks are, you don't give a crap about what economists say. I hear consumer confidence went up. Swell. I hear the economoy is doing great. Swell. My take home pay gets smaller, I have to work longer hours just to stay in the same place. That's my economics.
