$30 can’t cause a life or death situation anymore
these days its one trip to McDonlalds.
You are going to teach him a much better lesson if you say “Thanks to Obama I know have $4000 less per year and everything costs twice as much so I can’t afford it anymore”
add “Go Ask Obama for it”
I would NOT feel one bit of guilt over it
>> “I would NOT feel one bit of guilt over it” <<

Nor should anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together.
(BTW, did you ever get back from the powder room?)
My disabled and very ill step daughter came within a few hours of being evicted due to "failure to pay" a $25 renter's insurance premium. She actually had paid it. Was the landlord's error. This quite possibly could have been a matter of life and death for her had she been on the street for a day or two.
You have no idea how much $30 or one dollar is to some of these people.
And, BTW, a McChicken meal still costs $3.78 around here. That's what I get.
