Humm. A ramble of rising costs

[cellboy]

1. Bart ponders fare increases. Due to low ridership, from the down economy.
2. Bridge tolls is raised to $3 for car pool lanes, to raise funds for improvements, and to make up for lost revenues due to diminished traffic, due to the down economy.
3. Lately I have notice a substantial rise in my grocery costs (I usually purchase the same stuff). Due possibly for making up for low revenues from a down economy?
4. Many communities, which have HOA's (association fees charged to residents) are raising fees. Many residences in these communities are in foreclosure. Therefore the incoming revenue is down, but maintenance costs continue.
5. Landlords are now considering raising rents. To make up for past low revenues from the down economy?
6. And of course, what of rising taxes?
7. Those that still have a job, are paying for these rising costs.
8. I'm not complaining. This is just the way it is.
9. I'm thankful to be employed.
10. But when is this economy destined to get back on it's feet again?
11. I want to see everyone working again!!
