Yep…….the liberals are in charge. He doesn’t know anything until he reads about in the newspapers. It is not his fault. It wasn’t his decision. They are minor league. The Russians are a regional power; not a world power. And the best of all: We have no strategy.

When I graduated from high school in 1962, my husband and I owned a three bedroom two bath house and two cars within two years. Most of the men who graduated with my class had similar paying jobs right out of high school. I didn’t work, didn’t need to. Most women didn’t, and those that did actually chose to work.Today, it’s not a choice for most families, and when those families break up, everyone lives in poverty. When I did decide to go back to college, I paid $79 tuition for 15-18 hours of credit at SIU Edwardsville and we paid a $20 fee to rent whichever books we needed. Everyone could go to college, paying for it with a part time job.Since then American productivity and GNP have skyrocketed. But, Middle Class people don’t have anywhere near the advantages we did. All the money is going to the top 1-5% of earners. And, with the cost of college, it’s darn near impossible to get a start, you already owe the cost of a house before you graduate college.If the American worker is the most productive in the world, and all the stats say they are, the prospects for the young people of today should be better than they were for us. Instead, we produce the highest quality goods in the world—and can’t afford to buy them.

MrRobots said, about 23 hours ago@neverenoughgoldJust wait till king bama gets his hands on your retirement savings – then you’ll start to understand..Really? I am living off retirement savings, and paying way, way, way more taxes on this draw than I ever saved when it was invested “tax deferred” years ago!.Now, I am comfortable, at least for now; but, I am far from wealthy. However, I am really, really, really pissed off at all the freeloaders in our country…

People who can afford Starbucks and Smart Phones are pretty rich.

So then you ARE ‘starting’ to understand – or at least feeling some pain. I too am upset with the freeloaders. And what does your hero (king bama) do? Shuts down more industry (coal for one of many examples) and lifts up the country’s skirt (think borders) allowing more illegal free loaders in. And what does he do for them – well let me see; Oh, oh here’s one – subsidize their welfare with the taxes on YOUR (and mine) retirement draw.

It’s amazing to watch progressives getting flushed down the toilet, all the while they are thinking they are sitting in a whirlpool bath.

To those who may be wondering what this comment is about – never nough was respond to a comment made yesterday,, today.

BTW – I think the point Tom Wilson was making yesterday was “Irony”. Ironic, isn’t it?
