BigPinkLad,

I hear you loud and clear. It's a dilemma. It's difficult to pay more for essentially the same thing. The bugger of the deal is that, if we continue down this path, there'll be no beer fesival for your grandkids. They'll be struggling to eat, no cash for beer. The leaders ( owners)of this country are all well invested and continue to make ridiculous profits regardless of where it comes from.... the workin' stiff, on the other hand, does not. I expect NO help from the government until the wealthy feel the pressure. Joe Lunchbox is the only guy to stop it. Quit shopping at Walmart and any other place that does't handle homemade goods. Your grandchildren will bless you for it.
