[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a moco resident — I prefer it to Nova. But a lot of moco people here have their heads in the sand on the downward trajectory of the county or they are moco political hacks lurking here. Given that federal salaries aren’t keeping up with inflation, and DOGE cuts, we are going to wish we were 20th in a couple of years. Face it, we’ve had decades of one party incompetent leadership. It won’t change until the incumbents all go and the political system becomes more competitive. [/quote] All fluff and no data. Federal salaries never keep up with inflation, never. It won’t change until we get rid of Frumpy. Just leave I don’t understand people like you that stay in a place they don’t like. [/quote] I got to you, didn’t I? What’s the fluff? The inflation data that you agree with? Are the Doge cuts fake? Maybe the fall in MoCo’s rankings? Do you think the fact that it never keeps up with inflation might mean it’s not all Trumpys fault but lack of diversity in the economy? Do you know how to argue? What I don’t understand is people who move to a county and don’t try to improve anything and pretend it’s great. [/quote] No, you didn’t get to me, honey. You are just blustering about nothing that is back to my data. I’m not sure how Montgomery County government is involved in DOGE, can you explain that to me? It doesn’t keep up with inflation because of the stability and our retirement and healthcare. People are willing to give up money for comfort. I’ve lived here my whole life believe me it is way better than the 70s 80s and 90s. I don’t understand why people come here and complain when there’s nothing wrong. [/quote] DP. You don’t seem to understand how the economy works. Whether the county government had anything to do with DOGE is irrelevant. The effects of DOGE still weigh on the county’s economy. In addition, it doesn’t matter why federal salaries lag inflation (or wage growth in the broader economy). It just matters that they do. Housing prices are falling. Rents are dropping. People ARE leaving. [/quote]
