The Recession Game
Author : teriannAmid all the stress of trying to stretch our dollar to pay all our bills, we now have to keep up with the rising cost of products and services. It seems as if every day I hear on the news that another product or service faces increased costs, which they then pass down to the consumer. It has become a game. Let’s play, “Who will raise their prices next?” Leading the pack is J.P.S after their recently awarded rate increase. Cement follows a close second. Of course, the real losers of this game are the consumers. Who are the winners? I will let you be the judge.
