Correction / The Post / Inflation

Was not going to blog today but as a famous Mayor once said, only half the stuff I print is true.

Correction - Trump putting 200 million into infrastructure is actually 200 billion.  200 million would fix 200 miles of road which would help southern Wisconsin and not much more.  Still, with the economy on super charge AND the American Deficit going into uncharted territory there is a LOT of risk in our economy. 

And the infrastructure plan is more of a way for local communities to raise your taxes because the money is just an "incentive" for local governments to spend more.  YET - there are not enough workers to go around so any infrastructure fixes will be at a high price.

Already one friend stopped a million dollar Brewery in Sun Prairie as the price for construction is 40% higher then first planned BECAUSE of a lack of contractors.

There are just not enough workers to pay taxes and the GOP is LOVING spending money it does not have with no way to pay all of this back.  Corporations are making record profits (and not giving back to their employees) and earnings are way above estimates.

There will be no way to fight off a recession which is normally lowering interest rates and stimulate package's (already happened). SO - hang on for the #TrumpRecession.

Check this out - pretty cool.

We went to see The Post a few days ago.  Excellent movie but MAN - Maryl Streep AGAIN?

She has been in 65 movies and 4 series since Out of Africa. GIVE IT A REST LADY!!

But fantastic movie and well worth watching

******************
I hope everyone watched the Mens Halfpipe last night - WOW  what an amazing competition and horrific accident.

As I mentioned I have a classmate/friend in South Korea - check out who shewas hanging with last night



I now have had a classmate at 2 Olympics AND front row at the Grammy's.  It's like I was there . . almost.

But the weird thing about South Korea is that they do not have an opiate problem. They have a gaming problem. This country fills 15,000 seat arenas 7 nights a week to watch video game competitions and gaming addiction is a big problem with people missing work and so forth.

I'm not even THAT bad.

 Oh, I play NBA2K and TGCTours (golf) and Strat-o-matic but I don't go CRAZY.  I can wait an extra day for the Westminster Dog Show Simulation video game.  Just knowing that I can replay the 2014 Westminster Dog Show when SoftMaple's Sexy And I Know It CGC RN BN (Bitch) beat out Windy Hill Dance To The Music JH (bitch) .

YEA - REALLY?  Let's see what happens if you switch judges.

KIDDING KIDDING

***************

Just out - inflation rose MORE then expected (2.1%) WELL - that is always good news.  That extra money in your check is already 2.1% less then it was.

****************

Weather - Saturday - a little cooler then expected on Saturday at 29 and breezy but nice on Sunday.  Typical  winter for the next 10 days - nothing DRASTIC but Monday and Tuesday could be an issue with rain turning to freezing rain possible. 

BUT - Pitchers and Catchers report today so SPRING IS CLOSER!! 

Cheers
