Saturday evening I went out on a dinner date. We sat at the bar for cocktails as we waited for our table to be readied. My date engaged the bartender in a discussion about Trump, bit as an observer, it was apparent to me that the lady wasn’t a Trump fan. She tried to find a polite way to disengage from the conversation.
S9, I suggested to her thst it was my hope that Mr. Trump could bring us financially back to the early sixties, or even the ‘80’s. I recall those early sixties when one could pay tje mortgage, utilities, new car payment, all insurances,groceries for a large family, clothing for the family, entertainment, and still have a savings account! It was all done on ONE income! Mom was available to us, and she wasn’t as overworked as she would have been had she also had to take an outside job.
I wish you could have seen the facial expressions on that lady’s face as I spoke. I watched the surprise turn to a hungry desire as she mentally compared what her life is now to what life was like for me, growing up.
The tension was diffused, and she had something otjer than the MSM rhetoric to consider.
People need hope. We may never see those post war years again, but the early 80’s were pretty decent compared to the last 25 years.
Perhaps she will have some hope to share with her friends.
Amazing, how the liberals trashed our economy! The 1960s, when you could buy a great car for $2500 fully decked out. Multiple bags of groceries for $25. Clothing and shoes for a few bucks. Movies for 25 to 50 cents, and they were double-movies with cartoons between them. And savings accounts, that paid lots of interest, enough for seniors to live off the interest. Then there were the plentiful jobs where someone without a high school diploma could get a good paying job. Sigh...
I like, great story!
