For a two-parent two-employee household ...

Whether said employees are parents is irrelevant to the calculation.

Is this a new trend, to describe every worker as a "parent?" It reminds me of the way they now refer to every housing unit as a "home," instead of a house, townhouse, apartment, etc.

It’s really sloppy writing and the writers at Townhall.com are not immune to it.

Hmmm ... welll ... perhaps because we ARE supporting a rebellious and incorrigible child (the gummint), that yes ... I guess we ARE parents

Time to take the brat out into the woodshed, cut off his allowance and get him to rake the leaves.



And teach him some manners ... we are yes sir and yes ma'am.

The problem is the devaluation of the dollar. Remember when grocery chains gave you a free turkey at Thanksgiving if you bought $10 worth of groceries....which paid for the entire holiday meal? That was in the ‘60s.

The Feral Reserve has so devalued our currency that a $.39 loaf of bread then, now costs $2.75. So naturally, the .29/gal. of gas is now going for $3.50/gal. Greedy Government conveniently doesn’t count food and fuel in its inflation numbers, but citizens still need to eat and drive to work, if they are fortunate enough to have a job.

And this is why the American Middle Class is sinking like a stone.
