I have no idea of why you are blathering on. People chose to live in a certain manner. Yes ‘times have changed’ and I might simply add not for the better.
One does not NEED fancy cars, big houses, private school, private lessons, lots of paid for activities. My parents survived the Dust Bowl and the Depression (the real one not the one that is going on now). Interestingly enough if dad was out of work and mom had to go and work to just bring home a little money for food then that’s what happened.
I have lived in a single room rented at a modest price. I lived in a nice house. The truth is neither of the locations made the difference. There are plenty of people who don’t earn the big bucks and maybe dad has to work three part time jobs for mom to stay home but those children are better off than the ones in the really expensive and nice ‘day care’ and ‘pre-school’.
The idea that you CAN”T make it one income is false narrative designed to break up the nuclear family.
All the excuses you keep throwing out are just that ....It is not easy to do the right thing.
“I have no idea of why you are blathering on.”
Well, I *was* trying to discuss the issue in a calm, courteous manner.
“People chose to live in a certain manner.”
That may be the single most ignorant thing I have seen anyone post on FR. Ever.
“One does not NEED fancy cars, big houses, private school, private lessons, lots of paid for activities.”
Wow! Are you ever out of touch with what’s going on in America.
I know people who don’t have gas to take their kids to school—three miles. And no, they didn’t waste a nickel.
Stuff happens. One day it might happen to you. I hope, on that day, the memory of this one isn’t too embarrassing.
“My parents survived the Dust Bowl and the Depression”
And mine. So?
“(the real one not the one that is going on now).”
Howls, Bruce. Howls of derisive laughter. This depression is already much worse than FDR’s by every measure except public awareness.
“There are plenty of people who don’t earn the big bucks”
There are over 90 million people today who don’t earn any bucks, and it’s not because they don’t want to work. Evil men have imported cheap labor to drive these Americans out of work.
“and maybe dad has to work three part time jobs”
Dad can’t work three part time jobs because dad can’t find one part-time job. Every one he applies for goes to an illegal alien or the boss’s accomplice in sodomy.
“The idea that you CAN”T make it one income is false narrative designed to break up the nuclear family.”
Wrongheaded and wronghearted. Not only are tens of millions of Americans unable to find full employment, most of that group are unable even to find part-time work. Illegal aliens have those jobs, not Americans.
“All the excuses you keep throwing out are just that ....It is not easy to do the right thing.”
Wake up. Reagan isn’t president any more. We’re in a deeper depression than FDR ever achieved, and MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED MILLION AMERICANS ARE OUT OF WORK.
