Companies pushed prices higher and higher over the past few years. Now, people have had enough. Nearly 70% of Americans say they've cut spending.

    What a surprise! Was at the DFW airport yesterday… Popeye’s wanted just shy of $18 for two pieces of chicken. A small bag of chips at the store next door was $5. Unbelievable.

      Airport food is like stadium food. They know you’re kinda stuck there and probably in a hurry with limited options.

      I hate it. Try to never grab a meal at one even when I’m traveling for work and the company is paying.

      The wealthy lost track of exactly how poor they were making the rest of us. The plan was just to keep milking the proles for more, while giving them less, for ever. It was not a smart plan.
