    I guess that's the only place you can afford to pay for pussy and eat decent food.

    Your true colors have shined!

  5. You people are being silly.

    Housing starts and permits were absolutely PITIFUL.

    They will talk tough and do nothing, IMO.

    If you want to do something about cost of living, move someplace where its reasonable. Those prices posted were absolutely wild compared to what we pay in the midwest. The only thing higher here is gas, and everything else is super cheap by comparison.

    Burger King is 2 Whoppers for $3.00 at most places, and 2 for $2.50 at others.

    A Chicago Style Vienna Beef Hot Dog with everything and fresh cut fries is $1.79 at a place that is so good, there is a 50 yard line at the door. Ok, a Beef sandwich is like $3.00, but I'm cheap. Beer is $7.00 a pitcher, and the all you can eat Fish dinner was $6.50 + tax + tip at the bar last week.

    Milk is $2.19 a gallon, here. Breyers Ice Creme 2 for $5, Dannon Yougurt $0.39, Ribs $2.29/lb, Choice Black Angus round roast $1.99, Jumbo Eggs $0.79, etc

    Look for yourself. Here is this week's ads from four stores that are all within 7 miles of me.

  6. yea, wow the cost of living is expensive in NYC, what a revelation.
    i dont live in NYC
    i get thai food once a week, nice green curry for 8 bucks, can't finish it in one meal and i'm a pig.
    i shop at Aldis and my grocery bill is usually 25-30 a week. lettuce is a buck a head, big bag of chicken breasts 5 bucks.
    wendys has a whole dollar menu that you can get a bigger fast food meal than you need for 4 bucks.
    10 bucks for a large pizza.
    Vente at Starbucks is $1.65


    NYC is hardly reflective of the national economy.

  7. Do you weigh 400lbs and watch a lot of TV? Your diet doesn't sound so healthy.

    A quart of milk is 1.12, was .97 a few weeks ago, I think a gallon is about $4.50 now.

    THERE WILL BE NO RATE HIKE AT THE END OF JUNE.

    All he is going to say is the same stuff he has been saying for the last 12 months, everything looks fine, inflation is a little out of hand and that the economy is growing at a moderate pace, the dow will add 300 points that day and most likely at that time be trading around 14100-14250. Its going to happen, just buy any index ETF prior to the meeting at the end of june and you will be guaranteed at least 5% in profits.
