We got a notice from Bank Of America informing us that they are drastically raising their rates for using their bank. Let's see if I understand how this all works. Banks act stupidly and then raise rates for customers to cover their mistakes. We will be checking with other area banks to see if we should move our accounts.
Our county has increased personal property taxes on cars and boats to cover deficits. I disagree with this. I think that the actions of government should compare with a household. Families have to cut spending when income decreases. There are no other choices. I believe that government should act the same. Sure it hurts. Reality is sometimes unpleasant. Here we are in the middle of one of the biggest recesions we have ever experienced and job losses are at an all time high and our county raises taxes. Taxes don't go down when the economy improves. Grocery prices were raised to cover increases in fuel costs. Fuel costs have gone down. Grocery prices have not. Hmmmmm!
