A POINT TO PONDER

In April fruit and vegetable prices rose 2% from the month before. Bread rose 1.5% from the March price. Gasoline was up 10% from the month before. Annualize that rate of inflation and we find that gas will be up 100% for the year, bread 18%, fruit and vegetables 24% annualized. I wonder, what percentage the working person's raise will be this year? Have we had enough yet? Is it time now to throw out ALL the Republicans, and start fresh?

Okay, I have worked for the school district before and upon finding out I was suffering from cancer, quit to heal myself and deal with treatments. I have had frist hand expierence with the assistant super intendent of the schools. He is not a nice man. I am glad that he is leaving. He looks down upon lower income families like they are not as good as he. Some of the teachers do the same. I think that this is wrong but there is nothing that can be done about it. So, Cat lover, I have not seen what you think is so nice about him. A child is a child no matter how much money their family makes. The child is there for a education, not to be ridaculed for not having the best of everything.
