Wow, on the corn price! Guess the farmers won't need any more subsidies.I keep hearing this "The fed is targeting 2%" BS...
8' 2x4s were ~$2.75 pre-COVID. Right now they're ~$8.00
A bushel of corn was $3.80, right now it's $6.80.
I'm not the best at math, but I don't think that's 2%. I don't think I'm cherry picking here either. I could come up with 100 different examples of this and they can't all be driven by supply chain issues. That just sounds like a convenient excuse, IMO.
Wages are increasing and employment numbers are rising. That tells me tax revenue should increase proportionally and State budgets should be in good shape.
People want and expect govt. services. How do people think those services get paid for?
I don't have any problem with paying more taxes as long as the wealthy pay their fair share.
