Well I guess Obama is going to fix all the debt problems by taxing tobacco, raising taxes and also possibly taxing drivers by the amount of miles they drive.

I cant say that what I am seeing is at all good news. Already I myself personally have noticed a hefty increase in Food Cost at the local supermarket. What used to cost me $125 to purchase, now cost well over $200.

I used to roll my own cigarettes also. I could buy almost a carton of smokes for less than $15 including filters prior to April 1st. Now it appears that the big tobacco companies have lobbyed to raise the cost of "Loose", "Roll your own tobacco" and its not just a small justifiable increase either. What used to cost $12.00 for a can of ZigZag rolling tobacco now cost $35! Cigarette tubes that used to cost $1.29-$1.50 are not soaring at prices well over $3.00. In Michigan we have to now pay DOUBLE taxes on tobacco due to the fact Michigan also charges a hefty tax, and now the Federal people want in on it too.

While it seems like quitting is in my near future its not quite that easy. We will still be stuck paying higher food cost, something you can just quit doing. Also there appears to be a new booze tax on the horizon. I dont drink so this wont effect me much, but my wife does, so in reality it will. Most of these increases are due to Obama I feel. He is even considering legalizing Pot in an effort to tax it. Its just crazy what is going on.

I think the clear solution to this problem is easy... DO-NOT re-elect Obama for his second term. Send him packing. The American people whom voted for him are idiots. McCain was clearly the best pick, as he was old, and would not have sap sucked federal bennifits for as many years as Obama will.

I think the American people whom voted for him are ignorant. Perhaps a move is in order.

Europe is looking better and better. I am starting to fancy a nice English accent.

Here is a link for you to better understand how we are taking it in the rear here in Michigan -

The new health coverage in a nutshell:

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers:  "Hello?"

"May I please speak to Weldon's wife."

"Speaking."

"Hello, this is Dr. Jones at Scripps Laboratory.  When your husband's
doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another man
named Weldon arrived as well.  We are now uncertain which one belongs to
your husband.  Frankly, either way the results are not too good."

"What do you mean?" Weldon's wife asks nervously.

"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the
other one tested positive for HIV.    We can't tell which is which."

"That's dreadful!  Can you please do the test again?"

"Normally we can, but the new health care system will only pay for these
expensive tests just one time."

''Well, what am I supposed to do now? "

"The folks at Obamacare recommend that you drop your husband off
somewhere in the middle of town.  If he finds his way home, don't sleep
with him."
