Back in the early 60s California sales tax rates were a third what they are now. Disposable doesn't mean what it use to mean.

Wait I don't understand. The 2% payroll break has to expire to help the deficit. But but that 2% goes to FICA and is not part of the budget.

Of course that means a nice uptick in purchase of govt bonds driving supply lower dropping interest rates. Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Win win!

I feel SO much richer now that Costco has raised its prices on garbage bags AND sales taxes have gone up.

Sigh.
