我见 我思 我闻

房价物价上掦 生活品质下降

远在柯罗拉多州春田市的一个旧房，室内到处是涂鸦 ，装璜阵旧不堪，要价六十万， 还有人抢着要用现金支付，使得经纪人不敢相信。

近年来，由于特斯拉领头迁入德州奥斯汀，眾多来自加州人口大量涌入德州，房地產十分火爆， 加上近月来的木材建材价格上涨，房价居高不下，而且已是供不应求，建商无房可建。

自从联邦政府大量撒钱以来，加上对外国之关税政策，使得各种物价上升，小市民走进超市发现民生用品上涨一半以上，钱不值钱，这就是通货膨胀之现象了。

拜登政府一直努力於大型基建带动就业及经济復甦，但是国会两党不同调，通过原来之大预算可能有困难，这些龎大数据如何弭平预算，不可能只是再加印钞票来解决。

今天要解决赤字预算是个巨大之挑战，如果我们一直是寅吃卯粮，不是长久之计。a

All Prices Are Going Up 

In Colorado Springs, Colorado, a dilapidated house full of dirt with profane graffiti on almost every wall has the asking price of $600,000. The real estate salesman was very surprised that some people still want to buy it with cash money. 

In Texas, after many companies have moved to the state, house prices sky-rocketed. In Austin, Texas, some houses have already doubled in price. The problem is that all the building materials have gone up in price, especially lumber which has tripled in price since last year. 

After the federal relief bill was passed, many people spent their money and all the basic goods went up at least twenty percent. 

President Biden wants to pass the infrastructure bill in Congress to gain employment and stimulate the whole economy. But in the meantime, inflation is already here. 

Today we can’t just print more money to help the economy. Our basic problem is to balance the nation’s budget.
