The Ecomony

[jumpingjackflash]

The economy after July, what do you all think? Everything is going up, insurance, taxes (HST), food, gas, most of our everyday utilities ect.... I think we are going to be pulled down a bit as the public's confidence begins to drop by the waist side.

I am retired own a building with tenants, the Government won't let me increase their rent by an extra 3%. Why do the owners get screwed here?

Tenants have more power than landlords?, something wrong with this picture?.

Besides, doesn't the government need the money more than you and I do? LOL...

Between the 3 levels of Government you can always be sure one of them will be taking more of our money and keep blaming one another for the reason why it has to be done.

The governement contract economist consultants that crunch (2 + 2) - 1 equations to find an economic equallibrium. It's all about checks n' balances. The thinking goes, if landlords are allowed to indiscriminately jack up monthly rent fee's, tenants will have less disaposble income to spend on other things and industry's will suffer accordingly eg. textiiles, restaurants/entertainment etc.
