Bottom Liners by Eric and Bill Teitelbaum for October 17, 2023

Credit? You said it.

Every time I use my credit card to buy groceries my Dad spins in his grave. He was the ultimate cash and carry guy. “If you buy on credit card you slave to credit-card company!” (Add our own Eastern European Slavic accent, multiple expletives earn extra credit.)

But, the economy is doing so good, and inflation is at record lows.

I had an uncle like Zykoic’s dad. He paid for everything he bought with cash. He was atool maker and well laid back in the day.

To apply the right-wing bent of this cartoon to the issue at hand, a party that believes in paying the bills with debt really has no concern with the affordability limitations of items.

This getting to be too true to be funny.

Consider one item:A dozen eggsA bag of applesA bag of potatoes A six pack of soda

when have you ever not gone to the supermarket and just picked up what you can afford…?
