Apparently, I’m smarter than anyone in the Obama Regime or on the NYT Editorial Staff, and so are most Americans in what they dismiss as “flyover country”. If my personal budget didn’t balance, I could get a second job and earn more money . . . or . . . I could spend less. Either way, I could get my budget to balance. Only a moron or someone being intentionally obtuse would miss that second option, and with today’s liberal elites, either stupidity or evil could be the truth.

If the State of New York which has the highest debt per citizen in any State or The New York Times was borrowing money to stay open, I might give them some consideration.

Why would I ask a alcoholic how to quit drinking.

I’m one of those people who could qualify for plenty of assistance, and yet I’d rather go without. Why? Because it’s your money, not mine.

Of course it’s bad when employers are asking me why don’t I go on disability. I just want a job, that’s all.

No kidding?

Very few people today have much character at all.

Not surprising when any talk of virtue has been systematically erased from our culture.
