On the road again in these Bidentimes; but not for long, can't afford it

On our way up a clogged Route 16 to Ossipee last Saturday we were amazed at the number of vehicles waiting on side streets unable to enter the major tourist throughfare from the Northern Seacoast to the White Mountains.
Soon after I got on the roadway - thankfully at a stoplight in Wakefield - I noticed a motorhome headed south and wondered how many of those are parked in the driveway this summer due to Biden's inflationary ways.
First day in office our wise and wonderful commander in chief killed the Keystone Pipeline and began stifling American oil and gas drilling production. Gas prices spiked immediately, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that when gas and diesel goes up, everything goes up. Why? Because everything you buy gets to you in a conveyance that runs on gas or diesel.
Even electric cars get their electricity from gas or diesel. Nothing runs on solar other than some million dollar vehicle built at some federal experimental facility.
Then Biden and the Democrats poured trillions of dollars into pandemic relief, much of it still sitting in municipal coffers waiting to be spent on something or other.
In Rochester they're spending pandemic relief money for government run child care after the state and feds drove many private providers out of business with the shutdowns even though only a minute number of kids were affected by Covid.
The city also spent a half million dollars of pandemic relief on a so-called community health coordinator, who believe me, won't be coordinating community health. They'll be chasing drug addicts around with SOS brochures!
But anyway, back to my drive to Ossipee. On the way up and on the way back, 40 miles of bumper to bumper traffic - yikes, at 50 or 60 mph - I saw just four motor homes.
Two years prior to Bidentimes, you would have seen 20 or 30 on such a trip.
But at 5 bucks a gallon and six miles to a gallon, who can afford to travel hundreds of miles round trip from New York, Connecticut or Massachusetts.
For instance, a round trip from Boston in a typical motor home at 285 miles distance to North Conway would cost you $238 in gas alone. From New York City? $572.
I've talked to people who travel an hour to work each way. They're spending $100 a week just for gas to get to work!
People are suffering. Inflation is eating away their ability to survive, from food, electricity to cool their homes, to medicine.
Eggs are three and a half bucks. Putting air in my car's worn tires went from $1 under President Trump to $2 in Bidentimes.
And the gasoline we put in our cars is coming from places like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Russia, whose energy extraction is not nearly as "green" and clean as ours here in America.
So, c'mon globalists, how is that helping the globe?!
Now, with the inflation, and dearth of workers willing to work for less than $15 or $20 dollars an hour, all the companies that are paying the extra in salaries have to fold that into their selling price.
It's economics 101, folks.
You raise wages, you raise costs.
If it weren't for Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, the Democrats would have already passed the $2.2 trillion. $2.2 TRILLION! Build Back Better bill, with inflation already on a pace at nearly 10 percent this year.
I had to laugh the other day when one of the plethora of left-leaning news services touted that thanks to Biden, senior citizen on social security will be getting their biggest raise in 40 years! Can you believe it?
By the way, I'm on social security and I've seen prices double in the first six months of this year, so I start off in the red every single month like every other senior citizen. Maybe senior citizens should get a cost of living adjustment (COLA) every month.
As Revolutionary patriot Thomas Paine wrote, These are the Bidentimes that try men's souls. Well, he didn't exactly write it like that back then ... but he would now.
