You could be right, but I don’t remember it ever being as bad as it has become in just the last two years. It is like a roller-coaster - uphill with lies, and down hill with reality (and more and more government control).
And, I heard this morning, that now there is a proposal to tax each driver for the miles driven. I am appalled!
Another stupid idea. They are just full of them.
Born in the 1800's, I think my Grandmother must have been a 'visionary' - The older I get, the smarter it seems she was...LOL. I am fairly certain she could see things going sideways even back then. She was sure that FDR was sending us all to (socialist) h*ll in a handbasket and here, fifty years later, what is one of the main things we are worrying about? ...FDR's Social Security.
I don't disagree with your premise however. Bush's Medicare part D, and Obama's Obamacare were both huge additional expansions of socialism in our country, and I think either of those alone has the potential to do our country in. Right now we've got to deal with both and, to make things worse, Obama, in the past two years, has already spent (wasted) all of our 'spare' income for at least the next 10 years, along with a huge chunk of our 'credit line', so we no longer have anything even remotely resembling a cushion, upon which we might have otherwise fallen back in tough times. Sad. Just sad.
