Has anyone begun to notice the worthlessness of the dollar?

We don't get as many dollars anymore, people accept lower and lower wages, our taxes and grocery bills go up, so do our real estate taxes, insurance premiums for house car, and mostly medical, but, if you have a few dollars left, which many don't, you will find you can't buy much with 'em either. you can buy a CD player that you would expect was made in America, but no, it was made it China, and, it don't work, either. You can take it back to radio shack but you they will say you are 10 minutes late with it, and begrudingly trade if for another that doesn't work. You can buy an american flag lapel pin to show how flecking patriotic you are but it's made in Japan. My husband is a primary care medical provider, and I have decided from now on our family will have to get all their care from him at home. I hate to ask the man to do surgery on the kitchen counter for family members, but that's the way its gonna be, because, when I had minor surgery this year, something my guy could easily have done on the kitchen counter, it cost me $1000 that the insurance didn't cover, and they did a lousy job, and treated me like an American tourist in France! Give us your money, and get out of our face, we don't really care how it turned out. Geeezsh. Phone bills going up, cable bills rising, the minimum wage is the starvation wage, you must make enormous amounts of money to survive in America today and with whats left you can no longer buy any quality. Nothing is made in America.
