Even Obummer agrees with you. That is why he constantly tells us that we need to cut back on those items to fully appreciate his vision of America. Unemployment checks, Food Stamps and the Chevy Volt.

I will never forget a news report I heard in October of 2007. I was in my car and NPR was doing the noon news. Back then, a lot of local stations used NPR because they were so "neutral"! Ha! Our local radio station now uses FOX for the hourly news report. Anyway, October 2007, I heard the NPR anchor declare: "The stock market today reached a new record of 14000 points despite the faltering economy. I just looked around me, there in our small downtown, and saw a dozen nattily dressed people in line at Starbucks. To me, that epitomized the "prosperity" that we were experiencing.
