You may be right, but this year Junior’s little league practice may not be affordable. We’re going to see more cars on the side of the road out of gas, and more panhandlers at the gas pumps.

On that, it seems it’s always a woman with a sad story, while their boyfriend stays out of sight in the car. I had a young lady approach me a few weeks ago at the pumps for gas money. I gave her a tip for success - take your sunglasses off - you can’t beg without showing your sad puppy eyes!

"We’re going to see more cars on the side of the road out of gas, and more panhandlers at the gas pumps."

You know, I got panhandled earlier this week, and I asked the young black girl (who had two kids sitting very quietly in their old 90s Honda) to wait while I finished pumping my gas for my car and some gas for the mower.

I was going to give her $5 and I caught a glance of what I had just paid for gas, and whipped out a $20 to go with the $5. Under Trump she could have filled the tank and had enough to take the kids to McD's. Now, that may have bought her 1/3rd of a tank. Elections have consequences.
