Well Donald this is another fine mess... [View all]

The old Laurel & Hardy bit that ended with “ well Ollie, this is another fine mess you’ve gotten us into” seems a fitting statement right now, only nobody is laughing. We are going to need to start planting Victory gardens this year. Farmers can’t get labor, now they can’t get fertilizer, running equipment will be insanely expensive with current fuel prices and when there is a crop to harvest, transportation costs will be through the roof. What does that mean for food prices? Don’t need to be an economist to figure that one out.

This isn’t going to be just a little spike in the price of groceries. Both cost and availability will be issues. How much of your budget will go towards food let alone putting gas in your car or heating your home. If the “excursion” ended tomorrow we would still be looking a a rocky stretch ahead. Every day this goes on, we are facing a longer period of real pain and a deeper mess. So, yes Donald, this is another fine mess you’ve gotten us into. Time to do the Trump limbo dance to see how low we can go.
